Blueberry Crumble

Both the dry and brewed aroma of this tea is heavenly. Although this tea lists black tea as part of the base I don’t get a significant aroma or taste – which is fine by me! The blueberry and crumble flavors are in perfect balance and one doesn’t overpower the other allowing for a truly delectable dessert tea. I am not one to add sweetener to my teas however the sprinkles add a good level of sweetness without being overly sugar laden. Overall, the flavor profile replicates it’s namesake to a tea! ;)

Thank you to KiwiDelight for sending me this one. What a surprise tea! The water was way too hot to begin with, though I know the water that you get from most coffee shops is way too hot for tea. Didn’t taste like much while hot but as it began to cool the flavor really came out. It smells great too! Every time I open the door to the place I stow my stuff on the plane it smells like blueberries.

This tea starts with a bright blueberry jam note, and then fades into a…cinnamon and sugar piece of toast? Yes, I am getting a strong sense of toast, which others seem to describe as the top of the crumble. Kind of odd, but really interesting how unique and real it tastes. Also, it may be worth noting, that I had more green tea then black in my sample bag. I don’t think this is something I would find myself craving, so not a re-purchase per say, but I think it will be enjoyable when I want something a bit unusual.

Just a warning this tea is dangerous, especially if you like to bake it makes you crave things you probably don’t need to eat. I could tell what a treat this would be when I opened up the package, the smell was just yum. It immediately reminded me of blueberry crumb cake once I started drinking it and now I’ve got a terrible craving to make one. It doesn’t have an overwhelming blueberry taste, I think the cake aspect stands out the most, with a hint of maple. It is slightly sweetened and you can see the sugar crystals in the package. The cinnamon doesn’t stand out, it’s more of a background note, which I really like. I don’t think this would have tasted nearly as good if it were spicy.

I wish I would have started my day off with this, it would have been perfect with the pancakes I made for breakfast. It didn’t go as well with the blueberry chicken salad I made for lunch.

Even though I’m not a huge fan of dessert teas I could see this becoming a Saturday morning staple when I make pancakes for the family.

I’m neutral on this one. It’s not awful, and I’m sensing potential for improvement. I’m just at a loss as to how I could make it better. I get a tiny hint of a possibly brown sugar taste at the end of the sip, but adding more tea or sugar just seemed to block that out… which is the opposite of what cake should be.

So if anyone wants an almost entirely full 2oz bag… just say so. I’d love for this to go somewhere it will be enjoyed!

Smells amazing. Tastes like blueberry cake and maple syrup, which is a far better combination than I would imagine. I’m kind of happy and sad to discover this awesome tea, because it looks like Della Terra Teas went out of business? Their site won’t come up and their latest tweets are from 2 years ago. Does anyone know what happened to them?

Smells and taste like crumbles. The glittery sugar pieces look nice when prepared.
I tried both hot and cold steeped, with very similar crumble taste.
Overall not a big fan of this tea. I also failed to detect the blueberry flavor.

There is NOTHING I hate about this tea. I want it every single day for the rest of my life. But it is a dessert tea, so if you hate those, you might not like this tea as much as I do. But this tea is heaven. Everything about it is A+++. And when you brew it, it SPARKLES. You heard me, SPARKLES. It is such a gorgeous tea and smells so divine like it came from a place of magical unicorns. The blueberry flavor along with the cinnamon some how give a delicious maple syrup taste? I’m not sure how to really explain myself, but it taste like a blueberry crumb cake. I really hope Della Terra Teas comes back with this blend. It’s too good to be discontinued forever.

Someone gave this to me but I can’t remember who…
The flavor is nice and so is the aroma, but it is not a very smooth tea which I would like for something that has a blueberry taste to it. The dessert flavor is alive in this tea and I am hoping to learn how to do so myself with tea. I enjoy this but couldn’t finish the pot because it just wasn’t good enough.

Hmmm. . Smells like maple blueberry goodness. The sweetness doesn’t translate over 100 percent but I’ll take it. Its a delightful treat. Almost Blueberry Pancakes with cinnamon on the side.
