Fusion Red, White and Blueberry

BB #6 for today – thanks MuppetLove

Thankfully the Hibiscus is the 3rd ingredient listed – which means isn’t not the primary flavor! Woot! The Rooibos is the strongest and most identifiable and it’s sweet but nothing awesomely memorable. The 2nd ingredient is White Tea. I honestly can’t taste it at all. Yes…the hibiscus is there and present but not obnoxious like many can be. I can pick out the blueberry more than the raspberry. I do like the fruits, here, I really wonder how it would have tasted with OUT the hibiscus and with noticeably more white tea!?

Overall this wasn’t bad. I’m sure it would be better iced.

I am super excited I got to try it tho! I certainly has potential!

I bought this one because it sounded interesting and very patriotic! (it’s a fun tea to have around July 4th, Memorial Day, etc.) The base is a rooibos and white tea with blueberry and raspberry leaves (I don’t know if raspberry leaves would taste like raspberry, but why not just have raspberry instead of the leaves?) First off, I can tell there might be stevia in the teabag, even if it isn’t listed in the ingredients, which I’m not too happy about. The steep color is red with a hint of the blueberry. I’m not sure about the blueberry scent. It smells good, but not too authentic. I think because it is a mixture of white and red teas, the white diminishes some of the sweetness of the red tea. It is a bit bitter. BUT I’m glad the hibiscus flavor isn’t too prominent. Not a bad tea from Stash!

Hibiscus again. Sigh. But it’s the third ingredient on the list and hides pretty well behind the rooibos/blueberry. Pleasant berry-y smell and taste.

I picked up this tea because I like fruit teas, and this just looked interesting. The smell is.. off… it’s like blueberry and dirt. Or blueberry and old eggs. Or blueberry and something icky. The flavor is nice, with a slight aftertaste. Not something I’ll buy again, but not something I won’t drink.

I taste more of the rooibos in this tea than anything else. The second note is blueberry. It’s nice, but I’m not sure I’d purchase it again.

I don’t even know, seriously. It’s not particularly icky, but there’s nothing special about it. It’s not nice enough to go back on my shopping list but I’m not going to chuck it out or anything.

Sort or fruity, sort of tart, sort of sweet. It is perfectly average in every way. The only thing I can say with any clarity is it’s a damn sight better with boiling water than it is with 90 degree water.
