A friend went on a cruise to Alaska,and she bought me a sampler of herbal teas from this company. I have cranberry, raspberry, wild rose and this blueberry tea. I decided to make the blueberry first.

I wasn’t really expecting much. A lot of these “touristy” teas are pretty generic. Nothing to really write home about. This one is a step above that. When I first poured the water over the bag the water turned grey. I was a bit repulsed. But then I realized that was the blueberries. And the color quickly turned brown as it steeped. Even with my sense of smell severely subdued, I could smell the blueberries. The flavor was mild. I have three more bags of this one and I think I’ll try it iced next. The weather is quite warm here this week, so iced tea is the way to go now. :)

Love me my fruit teas in the summer—this sounds decent.

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
