Blueberry Kona Pop substitute?

Hey folks -

Looking to help a friend who is looking for a substitute for this one, but I’ve had that particular tea maybe once so my recollection is fuzzy. Anyone out there have something they know of that’s similar or along the same vein?

Thanks!

Bumping this in case anyone has any thoughts. I know it’s a blend from teavana so even suggestions on the two pieces of it (blueberry/pineapple) :)

Not sure about a substitute, but I have 4oz. (sealed) that I can send you. I’ve had it since Summer and don’t care for it much anymore. Bamboozled from DAVIDsTEA reminds me of it a bit, but a bit more peachy, whereas Teavana’s is pretty tart from the apple pieces. Hope this helps a bit? :)

Did they discontinue Blueberry Bliss? Is this why she needs a substitute. My girls will be devastated if that’s the case.

They’d definitely never discontinue that one, there’s no way.

I didn’t think so, it’s quite popular.

Not that i’m aware..just a friend looking to possibly make it on their own :)

I’m guessing this is just a not from Teavana sort of thing? It’s kind of hard to mimic stuff too closely There’s a blueberry rooibos from Rishi Tea but it lacks the other berry notes. Then find a pineapple herbal tea that might have rosehips and orange in it and you’ll get close to Pineapple Kona Pop. I found this: http://www.teaflection.com/bella-coola-tisane.html but it lists pineapple last so there’s probably better stuff.
