thank you so much, DigniTea! Samples samples everywhere, but that is how I love my tea collection. This one smells divine – like a fresh baked blueberry sugary dessert. It is VERY similar to Della Terra’s Blueberry Crumble, if not the same blend, but I thought Della Terra blends their own teas (maybe just some of them? I really wish I knew the details of tea companies better – it doesn’t matter if a tea company doesn’t blend their own teas – good tea is good tea… I just prefer to know details about those sorts of things.) Anyway, the flavor is very dessert like! Sugary (since there is actually sugar in the blend) and bakey… almost like cake batter, or better yet, blueberry muffin batter! Hints of candied blueberries on a lovely green tea base. The dry leaves almost look like black tea, but it doesn’t steep like black tea. Very nice!
Both steeps // 25 min after boiling // 2-3 min steep

I’ve been browsing their website for awhile and wondered if some of their blends were the same as Della Terra. I finally decided to send an email out to this shop and got a response that although some of the teas appear similar, in fact, that is just a coincidence. I am still curious of the accuracy of that as some just are so close in. I’ve enjoyed the Della Terra teas I’ve tried, curious how these compare… they’ve had some great sales. It would be nice to try a similar blend side by side for true comparison.
Well, of course I could be wrong, I did only have the DT blend once before.. so it was a comparison by memory. :D
