I went into the Uptown store today in a real funk. The wonderful staff (who have quickly become friends) picked up on it and surprised me with a cup of Superberry. Well, it definitely put a smile on my face!
I’m actually quite a fan of the juniper berries, they give the tea a bit of a bite, which is a welcome contrast to the sweetness of the blueberries. Normally not one to add sweetener to tea, I actually chose to add a tiny amount of agave to my cup, and it’s exactly what it needed. The sweetness of the agave highlighted the flavour of the acai, bringing the whole thing together.
After trying it iced in the summer, and being rather disappointed with it, I was quite thrilled to discover how tasty it is hot! It seems like a good tea for making a latte with, it’s strong enough to not get lost in the milky goodness. I can imagine it tasting a bit of mixed berry oatmeal in a latte. Hmm, might have to try that next time I’m in!
Be careful though, I feel like this would be really easy to oversteep. I went for about 4min30sec on mine and it’s nice and strong without any bitterness to it.
I’m sorry to hear that, and I hope you feel better soon!
It only took an hour or so to get back to normal, I’m feeling much better. I really wish I could pinpoint what is causing me trouble when it comes to this brand. I don’t have a lot of allergies and I hate not knowing what is causing this because I can’t avoid it in the future. In this case it wasn’t serious, just annoying, but I had a really bad reaction to drinking (organic) Buttered Rum several months back.
