Oh, I love this tea. Love, love, love. As much as I love complex and fascinating teas with 25 or so different ingredients, there is so much to be said for simplicity. Blue Sky is a delicious tea that needs only three ingredients to be wonderful.
And oh, how they combine! The sencha is a good grassy flavor mellowed out with a light sweetness from the mallow and roses. It’s floral without being perfumey. It tastes bright and delicate and it brews to a lovely pale yellow. It always makes me think of spring! And in the middle of a Chicago winter, I need spring.
If you can’t tell, this is one of my favorite teas. I drink it whenever I need something to make me feel happy or calm. Definitely recommended to anyone who likes flavored sencha and herbal teas.
I’m not sure what mallow flowers are, but all I can imagine is a field of little green stems with clusters of marshmallows floating above them and it’s really making me want to taste this tea! (even though I’m sure mallow flowers don’t taste like marshmallows. so silly.) :P
@Laura – No worries, I had similar images when I first bought this tea. :) All I could think of was marshmallow tea. It actually does have some similarity with marshmallows, since they’re kind of mild but very sweet.
