I want to love this tea so much.

I read all the nice comments and I want to love it ! But every time I try it I end up being disappointed. The dry leaf smells so amazing, very juicy, very fruity, very sweet, exactly how blueberry jam should smell and taste!

But the tea itself tastes watered down. I don’t taste nearly as much blueberry as I would like. Plus this morning I think I oversteeped it. I let it sit for a while longer, hoping that would bring more blueberries, but in the end it seems to have made them disappear altogether. I can barely taste them. All I taste is the black tea base. Not as appealing.

Does anyone have any particular suggestion to bring out the blueberry flavor ? I have only about a cup worth of leaf left and I really want to love it before it’s all gone, lol !

I’m quite new to tea. Like many people, the tea brand that got me started into loose leaf tea was Davids Tea. It was about 2 or 3 months ago. My first try was Pumpkin Chai and I was blown away.

I started mostly because I was looking for something that would satisfy my sugar cravings without all the calories, and also for the health benefits. I soon realized the world of tea was way larger than what I originally thought, and I’m glad I’m now a part of it !

I’m way intense when I get into something, so I bought too many kinds of loose tea leaf, trying to figure out which ones I would like best… So far, I mostly enjoy flavoured black, green or oolong teas. Anything floral, fruity, minty or sweet is great. I like dessert teas and also enjoy chai teas. The only thing I can’t stand is rooibos. I’ve tried several blends and I had to either give them away or put them in the trash.

Other stuff I’m into include traveling, language learning, TV series, yoga, Harry Potter, reading, writing, eating too much and hiking.
