This was a tea from my swap with Arshness, aka Miss Adagio. ;) The dry leaf looks like generic black tea with a few crushed leaves (apparently they’re raspberry leaves). Mine didn’t have any dried blueberries like the picture does. Dry, it smelled vaguely blueberryish. I steeped it for 3 minutes.
The brewed tea has a lovely genuine blueberry smell. Tastewise, I am a bit disappointed with this one. The level of blueberry is good, it’s not too strong but very present, however I do not enjoy the tea base at all. I’m not sure if this is because it’s a decaf version, but the black tea is very nondescript with a very one-note generic “black tea” taste. Sad face. Thanks Arshness for the sample. :D

I’ve only ever had the decaf base in blends where, well, it’s pretty obscured among other things, so making a mental note of its meh-ness on its own. Boo.
Weird. Maybe I just have bad taste in tea, because to me, this is like a cuppa blueberry pie. :) I sweeten it and add milk or creamer usually and it really brings it out.
The decaf tea itself doesn’t stand out, but the blueberry is the feature here so that’s fine by me.
Sorry you haven’t enjoyed the teas I sent so far. I felt they were all really good ones. >_<
I’ve been trying to drink my teas without sugar or milk, but I’ll probably drink the rest of this one that way. The blueberry flavor was good though. :P And it’s not your fault if I don’t like something when I chose which ones I wanted to try! Silly.
Haha, I just found your reply because I was reviewing this tea again and yours was the only other comment showing up. :)
Did you ever try it again with sugar and milk?
I still love this tea so much. :)
And I know but I still feel bad if you didn’t get any positive experiences out of it. >_< Sometimes it happens to me too haha but I always enjoy getting a chance to try something even if nothing turns out to be a keeper.
Hah, honestly I don’t remember! XD
And whether I like it or not, it’s still a positive experience because then I’ve tried it and know for sure. Haven’t seen you around here lately!
I have been so busy lately. Haven’t drank much tea. I’m getting back into it again. I had some rough health issues and was very tired so I was not getting up and making tea as much. But I’m still here. I check it every day. :)
