Blueberry Jam (organic)

I bought this tea as I LOOOOVE blueberry jam. The smell is just like opening a homemade jar of jam. The taste is a bit light for me but I don’t add sugar and I think that would brig this tea out a bit more. 100g is not going to last long ….

Yum. Funny enough I am not really a fruity tea girl but I do like this one. It is very tasty and quite sweet even without any added sugar or honey. True to its name it tasted like blueberry jam.. If only I had a scone to go with it.

To celebrate the first of November, I decided I felt like having blueberry tea (why? I don’t know). The last time I had this was in the summer, as an iced tea which was SUPER yoms but today it was great as a warm tea. I had it straight with no agave and it had a nice distinct blueberry flavour and was slightly sweet. I’m glad this is on DAVIDsTEA’s permanent shelf because I’ll probably want to repurchase again :)

Backlogging,

Had a cup of this yesterday, I have to admit it wasn’t my first, and will not be last.

This tea is amazing! the Blueberry jam flavor is spot on, and it is so comforting.

Dry Smell: Blueberry Pie Filling. Then the stevia. The stevia hits the back of your throat and has a weird cooling effect. I’m not sure if I like that or not. I’m not very familiar with stevia, so we will see. I’m not smelling tea yet.

Steeped Smell: Earthy tea smell immediately followed by the blueberry pie filling smell. I can’t just say it smells like blueberries because the smell is somehow sweeter, like jam or preserves, not quite fresh. Which is appropriate since this is named blueberry JAM.

Taste: I’m a major sweet tooth, so even after trying a sip without sweetener, I added my usual teaspoon of honey. There is a definite astringency to this tea. I’ve had this problem with a couple of DAVIDsTEA products, and haven’t yet figured out how to make it disappear. Only when I am swallowing and after do I get any hint of blueberry and sweetness. I will try this iced, but for now, I’m not really a fan of that astringent taste. Anyone have recommendations on how to make a smoother cup or should I expect this from all of their black teas? I haven’t tried their others yet…

It tastes like Blueberry Jam. I don’t taste any black tea (which is fine by me).

Super sweet, nice fruity black tea, not too strong, not too bitter.

The name is perfect: it really taste like a spoon of fresh blueberry jam.

One of my favorites so far!

LOVE this tea! Normally not a fan of very flavoured teas but this holds a special place in my heart. Delicious when mixed with Forever Nuts from David’s. I have bought this one a couple times now.

Surprisingly delicious! A lovely strong flavour made sweeter with agave. Will definitely get again!

I am sold on the dry tea smell. It smells like super sweet blueberry juice – my mouth’s watering already. The black tea is filled with cute little flower petals and dried-up berries. When steeped, the tea smells light but delicious and turns a very dark brown.

The first sip is heavenly. The blueberry is so vivid, and the stevia is a surprisingly nice addition. The tea has a bit of a bitter taste and is not quite as sweet as I would have liked it, but it’s great nonetheless. I find myself savoring the moment the tea hits my tongue, and the aftertaste – but not the in-between part, which is when the bitterness kicks in.

I’m a little iffy about adding milk to a blueberry tea, but I’ll try anyway. Like with the Salted Caramel I blogged about recently, I find that milk takes away the bitterness and makes the flavour more consistent from start to finish. I added just a pinch of brown sugar and found that it really brings out the fruity flavours. Like many teas that came before, this is a tea I prefer with milk and sugar.

I think this tea would make a great iced drink – with sugar, hold the milk. It’s fruity enough to take the place of a juice, but is missing just a bit of oomph that can be found in brown sugar.

This tea is going to be way up there on my list of fruity teas. It’s not tart like very many others I’ve tried, and the fact that it has a black base lets you play around with adding milk – which is almost always a good call. Warm, it makes a great autumn/winter tea, and I think it would make an extraordinary iced tea in the summer!

Note: I made this tea again – steeped for the full length but at a lower temperature, and the initial slight bitterness I experienced was nonexistent. I didn’t lose any of the delicious blueberry flavour either! Problem solved!

This tea is heaven at BREAKFAST time. Really true to its blueberry flavor. I like my tea strong and this tea tastes a lot! Simply love it! :)

This one is really lovely. I’m enjoying it warm with just a splash of half and half (which is how I like all my hot black teas) and it seems like it would be really good iced in the summer. I will definitely be repurchasing this one. It smells of really rich blueberries and the taste doesn’t disappoint. Sweet (but not overly so) and fruity while still having a strong black tea base flavor. Perfect year round.

Tastes like blueberry jam, and is lovely with a little honey or sugar to offset the weird taste of stevia. I love it as a tea latte – the blueberry goes so well with the creaminess milk (or substitute) adds.

This is the second time I’d drank blueberry tea. I may be biased because the first (unbranded) tea was worth a score of 100+. When I found out David’s was carrying blueberry tea, I got really excited.

Initial thoughts: Lovely aroma— the smell of the loose tea fills the room. I didn’t have any issues with the stevia, and I normally hate any sort of sweetener. It was delicious. Nice and berry-intense with a lesser taste of black tea.

I drank this a few times through the summer and finished it happily. I’m not sure I’d go back for more because David’s has so many other teas that I’d much rather try.

It was alright. Maybe it’s just me, but it tastes like drinking watered-down perfume.

Ehh, definitely not my favorite. Its not the best hot, and I just never got around to trying it iced. I had it in the morning a couple times- before I ran out of my 25g bag.

I would not re-purchase this tea.

Taste- BLUEBERRY, THE BLACK TEA, AND THE OTHER BERRIES. It too fruity for a breakfast tea for me. (Well, I’m guessing it’s a breakfast tea- because of the name)

Smell- Mostly the blueberries.

Colour- light brown / Purple.

In conclusion- This is an okay tea but not one I will be stocking up on.

Simply amazing. No need to sweeten (the stevia does a good job without being excessive). Great in any form: tea, iced tea, latte, iced latte. The blueberry-ness tastes so good. I’d love to add some Coaticook Blueberry Ice cream with this and make it into a smoothie. This tea NEVER disappoints me :)

I really enjoyed this tea. Even though I left it steeping for a lot longer than a probably should have (was watching x-men), it was still really good. I think because I left it wayyy too long it had a bit of a sour taste. But the blueberry flavour really comes out and is perfect morning tea. I will be getting a huge order of this when my bag finishes.

Hubby loves this as an iced t, it’s the only one he’s ever asked me to buy more of.

Not too sweet, REALLY smells and tastes of blueberries. Very nice, I’ll be buying a lot of this as a standard drinker.
