WOW. That is all.
Ok, I’ll elaborate. When I set the parcel on the countertop, I smelled blueberry. When I opened the shipment of 5 items + 2 samples, I smelled blueberry. I dug through the box until I located the small packet labelled blueberry and made it IMMEDIATELY. With a fragrance like that, how could you not? I dumped the whole 1/2oz packet into the finum filter and brewed 1 liter. Wish I had not got the water so hot, but nevertheless… I select a bone china mug with blue forget-me-nots on it, because this tea requires something blue. The liquid is even blue—in the purple way that blueberries are.
And then the sip. slightly astringent—my fault. I did not do any research before boiling, I just jumped in with both feet as soon as that fragrance hit my nostrils.Second sip. Must say, NONE repeat—NONE of that hideous fake blueberry flavoring. I have a few blueberry plants in the yard, I pick them every July. I know what a blueberry smells like and this is the real deal. This is a beautiful cup I would serve to guests in a heartbeat, and know for a fact they’d still be talking about it tomorrow. HA.
This is a work of art.

second steep and still enjoying the same 1/2 oz of tea, although next time I would do things differently, I’d use half the package and lower temp water and make two pots, live and learn.
Oh wow, you used the whole bag! If you add more water, it should lessen the astringency. We actually do use a ton of blueberries in this tea. We crush them up, so only a few blueberries remain whole.
:p I think my tongue is probably blue !
Hahaha :)
You have me sold. Sounds wonderful!
