Having another cup of this one this morning. I openend the 1.6 oz bag of this tea last week and it is in a resealable foil pouch. I found the smell and taste profile has changes quite a bit in a week. It is not bad, or flat, or lost its taste. It is just mostly blueberry to me now, in smell and taste. Not sure why, maybe it is my taste buds and nose today. It is still good. A light, sweet but not too sweet blueberry jam taste over a moderately bold black tea base with no bitterness or astringency. Pretty good. I made some cold brew and am hoping to try later today.

Edit: Cold brewed for about 12 hours. Its just ok as a cold brew. Not as good as I would have anticipated. I find it to be a very heavy and thick cold brew, for me this is good when its hot tea but I don’t like so much as a cold tea. This cold brew is definitely very strong blueberry tasting on the bold base, maybe a bit smokey. There is also a bit of the passionfruit flavour.

Bio

I am a lifetime tea lover.

I did foray into the world of coffee for a period of time, but I returned to my true love. I still, however, enjoy a good cup of java.

My all time favorite tea is Earl Grey, which I drink every morning, the stronger the bergamot the better. I definitely prefer natural oil of bergamot to artificial flavouring.

I mostly like black and dark oolong teas. My current favs are Fujian blacks, Keemun and Assams, and Wuyi oolongs. I gravitate towards anything with lychee in it. I also drink a lot of herbal blends but am wary of hibiscus. I do not favour mate, or pu’erh tea, although I have found a few blends that I like. (I so badly want to like straight pu’erh tea but it all tastes gross to me. I keep trying though). Rooibos, green and white teas fall somewhere in the middle. I find myself gravitating towards heavily roasted oolongs and teas from Paris/France based companies.

I love iced teas and cold brews.

My current tea goal is to make the perfect cup of chai from scratch – almost there…I think.

I am in love with the whole experience of tea.
