Sipdown (1599)!
This is another tea that I did actually consider ordering but the minimum was 50g which was a lot for something that I felt fairly confident would be similar to other teas already in my stash. Plus, it’s essentially a blueberry black tea and even though that is a flavour profile that I enjoy a lot it’s also something that I feel I have incredibly well covered by DT’s Blueberry Jam. I haven’t really found anything that’s been able to ‘dethrone’ that tea for me.
It was a nice tea though! Very full bodied and robust black tea with a nice deep maltiness and a hint of a floral undertone with a sort of drier kind of blueberry note. Definitely blueberry with skin on it, not just like a blueberry juice. I liked how natural it was and I thought it was a nice balance, especially with the other mild red fruit undertones that were also present. It’s always great when the black tea base isn’t masked. However, I was correct in my assumption that it’s not better (at least to my palate) than Blueberry Jam from DT, so I’m glad I didn’t go with the 50g of it…
