KeenTeaThyme drank Strawberry Lemonade/Blueberry Bliss by Teavana

576 tasting notes

I am speechless. This tea is beyond amazing! I’m not super surprised; I love both Blueberry Bliss and Strawberry Lemonade, so of course I’d like the blend. I was worried it would be too tart, so I did add some Sun Crystals and I think that does the trick! The tartness is balanced by the sweetness, I think. (Of course I’m addicted to sugar…so I may be slightly biased.)

I’m going to resteep the leaves, which is what I’d do with the strawberry lemonade… And I bet this tastes just as kick-ass iced. I’ll have to try that at home. In fact I’m bringing this home from work to enjoy in the comfort of my own home…and away from any coworkers who may want to share. ;)

Hello fellow tea fans!
I’ve been a tea enthusiast for years but just recently started brewing my own. I’ve created some blends, and enjoy researching about new teas. I combined my love of tea and writing to create a tea-devoted blog, Keen Tea Thyme. I have been writing for most of my life and am a former journalist with a degree in Communications and Social Psychology, and a minor in Writing. Journalism is in my blood, so that means I’m inquisitive by nature, will double-check sources and/or get a second opinion as needed, but also fair and balanced in my reviews. If my reviews seem more positive, energetic and have high ratings, it’s because I love tea. :)

If you are a tea company, I’d love to review some your tea! Free samples are always welcome so I can fully enjoy the freshest selections. I’m also open to tea swaps as I always have too many teas on hand to drink & would love to share with other tea enthusiasts! :)

My Simple Rating Scale (as of Feb. 2011)
>50: I’m NOT a fan. I could barely finish the cup, if I even did. I wouldn’t even recommend this to my worst enemy. Not worth my time nor yours.

51-65: Good aroma, good flavor. Just nothing pops to give the tea that special kick. Recommended to try; our tasting palates differ.

66-79: Yes, finally, tea – unique flavor profiles, great aroma & flavor. Recommended to try; our tasting palates differ.

80-99: These are cupboard essentials – delicious, aromatic and perfect everyday teas. Re-steepable (beyond at least one steeping). Highly recommended, fun for all ages.

100: These are my favorites, the ones I would take with me if stranded on a desert island. Beyond Highly Recommended.
