LiberTEAS drank Black & Blue by 52teas

OK, the mail just came and what a fantastic surprise! QuiltGuppy gifted me with a 3-week subscription to 52Teas! It was so unexpected, but so appreciated – what a perfect gift!

So I am trying this first as a hot tea – the aroma is spectacular… you might even say its berry-rific! The blueberry is really well defined in the scent, with notes of the blackberry in the background… YUM!

Oh, yum. Yum, yum, yum! This is so good. The berries taste very authentic, like, plump, juicy berries. The finish has that berry tartness. So good. The black tea is a little less distinct, but I think that flavor will pop once the cup cools just a little bit.

This is even better iced. So incredible.

I’m really happy to hear that you enjoyed it! Thanks @52teas for helping me to thank two special people who hopped in (pun intended) when my Hoppitea package was ~~stolen by customs~~ I mean, lost in the mail. (Hope you’re enjoying it, customs people!) ;)

It’s probably a good thing that I don’t work for customs. LOL (Take from that what you will)

My daughter’s Christmas gift from Ireland arrived in April! There may yet be hope of receiving your package.

I would be getting all kinds of complaints from customers if LiberTeas worked for customs. LOL.

well, you know, I might need to sample the teas that go through customs to make sure they’re not contraband. Never can be too safe, you know?

I commend you for your vigilance. :D

Wow, what an awesome and generous gift, you lucky little teapot! :D

Profile

Bio

I am obsessed with tea!

I am a co-founder of the SororiTEA Sisters:
http://sororiteasisters.com

I also review teas for the Tea Review Blog:
http://www.teareviewblog.com

In addition to my passion for tea, I am also a mixed media/altered arts artist. You can see some of my art here: http://eccentricpastiche.blogspot.com

I am also a self-proclaimed foodie. I review local restaurants and the food I buy online here: http://hungryinportland.wordpress.com

My favorite teas are Yellow Teas with most Oolong teas at a close second. As far as “flavored” teas go, I love Earl Grey, Chocolate and Jasmine teas.

I also am intrigued by flavored teas with an unusual or unique flavor combination.

I don’t do a whole lot of swaps anymore, however, I do occasionally sell sampler boxes here: http://liberteas.teatra.de/ I don’t always have sampler boxes available as it depends upon how much time I have as well as packaging supplies. I usually post at least one or two sampler boxes per month, though, so if you’re interested, keep an eye out or PM me and I’ll let you know when I have some posted.

Most of the teas that I record in my notes here are going to have a fairly high rating from me. This is not because I am not discerning, but because I do not usually waste my time on drinking tea I do not care for, nor will I waste my time on writing about it.
