Made a mug of this today but I was pretty let down by it.
Though I don’t personally care too much about cup colour, this is advertised as steeping purple and not only was my mug not purple but it wasn’t even like a blue or pinkish colour from the two ingredients (butterfly pea flower and red dragonfruit) that I believe are primarily contributing to the liquour colour. Instead, it was a very sickly looking swampy green colour…
Taste wise it was pretty whelming. Very, very grassy tasting from the green tea base in a fairly course sort of way with super light notes of fruit. I get that it’s primarily supposed to be dragonfruit and dragonfruit is a very light tasting flavour but this was sort of just flat and watery to me. Not distinct enough to pinpoint any specific fruits, either. Just maybe vaguely tropical??
I’ll try it again and see if I can produce a better cup colour and stronger flavour, but I have a hunch this one just wont really be my cuppa tea.
Both concerning and fascinating that it somehow turned green!
