So thrilled to have won the 52Teas May giveaway box! It came in the mail today and it’s brimful of exciting flavors :) Many thanks to Anne and Amethyst!
I decided to try this one first because I was curious to see just how much it could taste like blueberry danish, and the answer is VERY. It smells and tastes spot on, right down to those sort of jelly notes from the filling. The base tea provides good support, but doesn’t distract from the blueberry, which is very clearly the star of the show. I don’t get much cream cheese, but I feel like when I’ve eaten blueberry danish, I didn’t get much cream cheese there either — like it’s just a little smear usually to keep the blueberry from soaking into the pastry. So overall, the flavor balance seems incredibly accurate. Usually when I get flavored teas they just sort of vaguely taste like whatever they’re named after. I want to know what kind of alchemy is going on here!

LOL – now everyone knows what the Retro tea is this month! :)
PS: Congrats on winning – we’re very glad that you’re enjoying the package!
Hype! This is one of my old favourites :P
Also, congratulations!
@52Teas Whoops! Sorry if I let the cat out of the bag, I wasn’t even thinking about that :/ But it is amazing! Thank you!
Thanks for the congrats @CrowKettle, definitely hyped to be exploring more of 52Teas offerings, I’ve read so many mouth-watering reviews about them here :)
Not a big deal – although – this was an extremely limited reblend because I had a very limited supply of the Fujian black tea that I used in the blend. That is to say that I have a feeling that I’m going to have some disappointed individuals because the tea will sell out very fast due to the limited supply. :(
On the other hand, I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tea!
Congratulations! That is so exciting.
And OMG, I need more of this in my life. My absolute favourite 52teas blend!
@52Teas I can see it now — instead of the Hunger Games, we’ll have the Tea Games, everyone dueling for the last cup of this. I am not terribly literate about black tea bases, but I have seen ‘Fujian’ popping up in a lot of my favorite flavored teas. Must be an important part of the magic in this batch. Hopefully Fujian has a good crop this year and you can get more in :)
Thanks @Fjellrev! I hope you can get some of this batch, the blueberries are huge! It’s been so fun trying this box, I’ve tried the cucumber one now too, and as weird as the flavor sounds, it’s delicious :)
