WILD BLUEBERRY (LEAF) 'TEA'
-
Mindblowing!
All the aromatics of blueberries, minus the fructose. This brew has the rounded mouthfeel of black tea but virtually no astringency.
When we opened a sample bag labeled ‘blueberry tea’ we were skeptical… scented black tea has never been on top of our ‘to drink’ list. The tea looked very much like orthodox black tea… and the aroma seemed naturally sweet, unlike the candy-like characteristics of most scented tea.
It turned out:
- The brew is delicious! It tasted like a blueberry plant.
- There is no ‘tea’ (i.e. Camelia sinensis), in this tea; these beautiful leaves are from wild blueberry plants, processed very much like black tea.
