Arby drank Blueberry Lemonade by Teavana

3049 tasting notes

This is surprisingly decent for a herbal blend with rosehips and hibiscus in it. Coldbrewed, of course.

There is a lot of lemon juice taste (like the lemon juice for cooking that you buy in those plastic lemons) but also some distinctly blueberry taste. It is actually very accurate to its name-lots of lemon and some of blueberry. Somewhat tart, but not too bad if coldbrewed. It is decent sweetened, but I prefer my tea straight. If I wanted the calories of added sugar, I’d just drink juice. :P If there was anything I could change, I would add more blueberry flavour and less hibiscus (instead, I’d use more pineapple or blueberry with light sweetness). That being said, the tartness isn’t overpowering and there is a slight natural sweetness present already.

Flavors: Blueberry, Fruity, Lemon, Pleasantly Sour, Sweet

Preparation

Iced 8 min or more

Bio

I studied biochem and botany at University with a focus on genetics and evolutionary biology. Now, I work in biology setting up labs for students. I love science fiction and spend too much of my time reading comic books. I’m a passionate keeper of spiders, cacti, and exotic plants. I eat a vegan, plant-based diet for moral and environmental reasons (I mention this only because it is relevant to which flavoured teas I drink).

I drink mostly flavoured and low caffeine teas/tisanes, but I will try anything twice. As far as pure teas go, I gravitate towards whites, yellows, and jade oolongs. Most of my teas are older and in smaller smounts, so I can’t offer samples of most blends. But you can still message me any time :)

My cupboard and stash spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-HjWKR3um-xEnj6HC9vMvKXOAyj_bpW5u_2ixEC20-k/edit?usp=sharing are both outdated and I have not organized my current list of teas in several years.
Most of these are only tiny samples/I can’t always spare any, but feel free to ask.

Favourite flavours/ingredients:
Rum/alcohol, clove, cardamom, rosemary, pine, sage, anise, moss/Earthy, lychee, floral, creamy, malt, hay, rice/grain, toasty, desserty, cocoa/chocolate, decaf or no caffeine, very unusual flavours
