Blueberry and pumpkin, eh?
This was an automatic addition to my order. I mean, the idea of these two flavours paired together is just so freaking weird in a way that feels targeted to me specifically. However, flavours aside, I think it’s just such a fun and playful interpretation of the movie and characters within it. I mean, blueberry feels right for Cinderella and so does pumpkin. Until I saw this blend I had never thought of Cinderella as the “pumpkin spice princess” but now that’s all I’m gonna think about. It’s just so… so spot on!
The tea is a touch of a let down. I say ‘touch’ because it actually taste great, but I don’t get the pumpkin at all and that feels like a lot of build up of expectations for a hollow delivery. The sweet and jammy quality of the blueberry very nearly makes up for it though. I find blueberry tricky to work with on a rooibos base (unless it’s green) because the rooibos often brings out a tarry and medicinal quality to the fruit butt that’s not happening here. It’s just juicy and fresh feeling, and I like a lot!
(I am very partial to blueberry teas though)
I never got around to trying this one, but I was curious! Good to know it’s not mindblowing. :)
