Birthday tea! I’ve been hanging on to this sample pouch for a while, probably because it was a limited edition, and sounded like the kind of tea I might really like. Today is a “special occasion” (i.e. my birthday, which is depressing, so I needed cheering up with tea…) I felt like I’d waited long enough on this one, so I pulled it out to try! I used 1 tsp of leaf for my cup, and gave it 4 minutes in boiling water. I added a splash of milk, because ice cream, dairy…it seemed to fit the bill (and it would have felt odd not to add any.)
I’m pleased to report that it’s delicious! Super creamy, with a definite ice cream flavour. It’s not artificial ice cream, either, but a lovely, rich, “real vanilla” ice cream that you’d either make yourself with actual cream and vanilla pods, or pay a fortune for ready made. There’s also a definite root beer aspect, which really makes this into more of a root beer float than an ice cream float in my opinion, but since it’s lovely I’ll not complain about that too much. I can taste the chicory/medicinal-herbal flavour that’s so reminiscent of root beer for me, plus a fairly hefty dose of cinnamon that really helps to round things out. There’s also just a touch of smooth, sweet caramel towards the end of the sip.
Overall, I’m really pleased with this one. I hope Bluebird bring it back some day!
This was from the Bluebird order! This one might not be for me though… Splenda, licorice, and lime leaves in an ice cream blend aren’t really what I’m looking for. And that is all I’m really getting from my teaspoon “scoop”. The flavor is mostly an odd melding of Splenda and licorice.which taste the same to me anyway. Hints of sarsparilla along with the light black tea. Bluebird still uses that light black tea (I think the Ceylon is the culprit.) I’m not sure what the lime leaves should be adding to the blend in the flavor, but it doesn’t seem too weird. The flavor is more like root beer than a root beer float. I wish I could say more about this blend or that I liked it better, but I kind of suspected I wouldn’t.
