Sip Down & backlog
I was surprised when I discovered that Walmart sold 1-2 Tiesta Teas at our local store! I didn’t know that they had a hand in the tea game. Lol. When I first got into tea, I remembered discovering Tiesta Tea and enjoying anything I had from their catalogue. Since the Blueberry Wild Child was a favorite upon my first time trying their teas, I had to try this once again, a few years after my first experience with their brand.
I’ll note that my taste for hibiscus has changed quite a lot during my tea venture; I tolerate the taste less since it typically takes over any blend when it’s added. However, this is one of the few times when it works whenever you add to ice or cold brew. I made the last of this as a cold brewed tea last week and it dulled the hibiscus to the point it was greatly reduced to a mellow tartness which tasted more like blueberry and less like hibiscus. Lol. Drinking this one hot is not my style, and I’m certain that Tiesta Tea would recommend it to be chilled rather than served warm. Who’s to say? I prefer this one iced versus hot.
Was it a regular Walmart or their groceries-only Neighborhood Market? (I’ve had several serendipity moments in the Neighborhood Market tea aisle over the years.)
