Blue Christmas

Quick Cuppa…see other notes

I love love love blueberry teas, so I was thrilled to find a few cups of this in my swap package from TeaEqualsBliss! Especially since I’ve been craving Adagio’s Blueberry White but ran out a while back. I really do need to place an order there soon!

This is a blend of 3 blueberry teas: one white, one black, one herbal. The herbal part must have some hibiscus because my cup is a nice rosy shade, though there’s only a tiny hint of tartness from it thankfully. It’s a more complex cup than the straight Blueberry White, understandable since there’s technically 3 different bases here. It’s not as sweet as Blueberry White either, in fact it’s a very crisp cup (of course I had it iced, which definitely adds to it). This definitely curbed my blueberry craving!

Thank you to TeaEqualsBliss for sending me some of this tea.

This is tasty. I can hardly taste the black tea … which is as Jennifer wanted it (according to her own tasting note) and in my opinion that’s a plus because I’m not particularly fond of the black tea base used in Adagio’s flavored black teas. The white tea is a fresh, crisp taste, and the blueberry dominates. One thing that I did notice here, though, is that the blueberry does taste a little artificial. I don’t notice that as much with the blueberry white tea or the blueberry black tea that I’ve tried. Maybe it’s the hint of hibiscus from the berry blues that does it? I don’t know. It doesn’t taste bad, but, it doesn’t taste as authentic as the blueberry white or blueberry black does.

Overall, though, it is very enjoyable. Sweet berry flavor and mild tea background. Very mellow and pleasant.
