Upping my rating on this one after a few more tries with water at the right temp. When made correctly, this is a pretty good cuppa. The blueberry flavoring is actually quite a bit more subtle than the still-overpowering dry leaf’s perfume implies. The green tea base tones it down and give it a floral note, which is a nice surprise. I’m still not getting any vanilla though.

All in all, still not my favorite Harney blend… The finished-liquor payoff isn’t worth the preparation fussiness. The lemongrass makes it taste and smell like a cheap Good Earth teabag blend or something. I wish they’d ditch it and add vanilla bean instead.

Flavors: Berry, Blueberry, Flowers, Grass, Green, Lemongrass, Sweet

Bio

Hello! 28, female, American. A total hopeless bookworm— I have a Bachelor’s and a Master’s in English. I also love dogs, all things that are colored purple, and sarcasm. I work in the Information Technology field at present.

I’m not a swapper, but I hope we can still be friends :)

Favorite tea types: Black, pu’erh, oolong, kombucha, genmaicha, matcha, rooibos, honeybush (recent change of heart there), and floral greens.

Favorite flavor notes: Roasted, fermented, earthy, floral, nutty, bread-y, umami; dessert-inspired flavors like chocolate, vanilla, and maple.

I’m very picky about chai and spice/ spicy blends as well as fruit-flavored teas; they really need to be done right, IMHO. I’m iffy about mate, as well as herbal teas, although there are a few tisanes that I enjoy (roasted dandelion root, chamomile).

Flat-out dislike: White tea, most unflavored green teas, hibiscus in high quantities, plain peppermint.

90-100: Perfection and heaven and magic, all in one cup.

70-89: Good.

50-69: Meh.

49 and below: Blerg.
