Sorry if this review offends you, but I need to just review it as if I didn’t create it:
The concept that someone made a blend for their birthday is quite interesting so this appeals to me. I saw LP playing around with hibiscus and blue pea flower a few days before creating this blend; something about trying to make a purple tea. For whatever reason, hibiscus did not it into this blend though which is something I should inquire about.
Looking at it causes curiosity: This blend will never be scooped out consistently. My one scoop came with 5 jasmine pearls and two blue pea flowers: http://postimg.org/image/vgahu8a9z/
I’m sure that brewing a different amount of either two of those ingredients would change the taste which makes me wish that this blend was put into tea bags as the blender wanted the tea to be tasted.
For me, the powerful taste that the blue pea flower has takes awhile to get use to. I’m not much of a floral tea drinker, but during the spring/summer I end up finding myself drawn to them.
I’m curious if cold steeping this might lead to less blue pea flower ‘power’.
While the brew has a tint of blue that is pretty cool, I think there needs to be some balancing on the blenders side of this tea or at least some sort of advice for the user (but that would be unfair…)
I crave floral teas in the summer. Something I just discovered this year.
