This is my first experience with a flavored tea. A recent Tea 101 class got me interested in teas in general and I’ve ordered several. This is the first to arrive. I prepared the tea using a tea strainer & my bottled water as I had learned. I steeped it for 5min (4-7min suggested) (I’m having trouble with the slider below.) using suggested temperature in my preheated cup (I am near sea level so water boils at 212 deg F). Initially, the aroma was reminiscent of real blueberries, but the flavor throughout the tasting was rather weak – disappointing in fact.
UNTIL it cooled to warm at which point it tasted strongly of the flavor for which it is named – I was much relieved! I look forward to many more cups of this tea and to experimenting with iced tea.
