Blueberry White Tea

Although I have to agree with Ros about the sweetness and syrupy taste, I was pleasantly surprised and it wasn’t a bad tea for just mindless drinking while travelling.

Of course, I had better blueberry teas, but there is also I recall being much worse, so this, considering the price and sugar amount, is good enough.

And blueberries were noticeable, that are plus points.

This is a tough Arizona flavour to get in Canada, but I know it has a bit of a cult following within the Arizona tea “fanbase” so I was excited to try it. I was very surprised how sweet it was, though! Maybe naive on my part, but I’d kind of assumed part of why people liked this flavour in particular so much was that the white tea base used would be more light and natural tasting. Though I did find this quite bright and white-tea forward, it was so syrupy in mouthfeel and taste. I think both ginseng and honey was just too much, though the honey aftertaste would have been super pleasant with the white tea base and the soft blueberry note if it had been at a better ratio.

Maybe I’d enjoy this more with a second taste since I’d have more in line expectations, but for most of while I was drinking this flavour I just couldn’t help but think that I’d be having a better time with pretty much any of the other blueberry flavoured loose leaf white teas in my stash.
