I’ve been wondering about this tea for a while now, and so I picked up a box. I really enjoyed Celestial Seasoning’s True Blueberry Tea done up iced so I was curious about this tea.
Wow, what a disappointment. I brewed it up just like I would the other tea: 2L of water, cold brewed with 5 tea bags for approximately 24h. Instead of the TRUE blueberry taste you get a little bit of a blueberry followed by a sour taste that reminds me of Stash’s Meyer Lemon Tea. I will use up this tea by throwing 1-2 teabags in with Celestial Seasoning’s Blueberry Tea but will not repurchase.
Honestly, this is close to the 10th tea from Stash I’ve tried and I only cared for 1 (raspeberry Hibiscus). I think I will discontinue trying anymore from this company.

I really dislike Stash’s hibiscus herbals. I much prefer Celestial Seasoning’s.
glad I’m not the only one!
As mentioned the only one I liked was the Raspberry Hibiscus. Most of the teas I’ve tried from them have been fruit herbals but there has been at least one green tea I’ve tried from them and it was of course mediocre.
Another thing that bothers me about stash vs celestial seasonings and other tea bag companies is how each tea bag is individually wrapped. I know that it’s supposed to preserve freshness, but to me it is such a waste. Every time I make a pitcher of iced tea from Stash I have a pile of wrappers to throw out (which don’t seem to be recyclable because there is foil on the inside). Celestial Seasonings seems to preserve the freshness of their tea by having a liner on the inside of the box, which is good enough for me. I think they should at least take the foil out so it’s recyclable!
I go back and forth on the foil pouches. Not having them is better for iced tea, but having them makes them much easier to carry in my purse.
Makes sense!
