AJ Rimmer sent me a ton more samples to try, so THANK YOU VERY MUCH. And don’t forget I owe you teas in the future! Let’s try this one before it disappears from B&B’s site. Honestly, I don’t really expect much from this blend. I didn’t really envision how the flavors would fit together when it was first released. Blueberry with lime? I guess there is a blueberry mojito blend I like from 52Teas…. I also wasn’t as thrilled with B&B’s previous Key Lime Pie tea as I thought I would be. This is… not great. It mostly seems like light hibiscus to me. Or maybe the lime or blueberry is coming across as hibiscus? The second steep just tasted like muted muddled hibiscus water to me, but that’s probably my fault. I can’t expect every tea to have a decent second steep ALL the time.
As for recent holiday teas, I’m also drinking Angry’s Peppermint Patty and Tea Revv’s Chilly Willy Chai.
Steep #1 // 1 1/2 teaspoons for full mug // 21 minutes after boiling // 2 minute steep
Steep #2 // 2 minutes after boiling // 4 minute steep
You’re very welcome! I feel like this blend is sort of a bummer because it has the potential to be so much better with more blueberry, but oh well!
Yep, always appreciate the sampling of a tea. :D
