Ever since I discovered the magic of cold brewing, I feel the need to cold brew every fruit tisane I come across to see how it fairs. So, when MissB sent me a package of this tea I decide to toss a few tsps into a water bottle and wait to see what happens.
The end result? Bubblegum. I am very confused as to how or why but this tea is an accurate representation of the candied bubblegum pieces they put in bubblegum ice cream. It is very sweet (I am so happy there is no hibiscus in sight) and really tasty but the flavor is just a weird thing to be tasting in a blueberry tisane. I am interested to try this one hot to see how that compares to its cold brew counterpart. Thank you so much MissB for this generous sample! You shared enough that I have lots to experiment with so hopefully I find the way I like this tea best.

Ah, I have yet to try this cold. I can see how it would taste like bubblegum! It’s surprisingly sweet.
It was so weird because I definitely was not expecting it. I will probably try it hot soon to see how the flavor compares. I think since there is no hibiscus, it allows everything else to be sweet.
It tastes kinda like what I imagined a cotton candy tea to taste like. Hot, anyway. Although I find it better as it cools.
I think I’ll have to add a cold-brew column to my spreadsheet to keep track of which ones are good cold. I saw someone mention that in the forum.

How random. And I will keep in mind that it’s best when it cools. Thanks again, MissB!
Oh, nice! Fruit teas without hibiscus are so nice to find. :)

I need to update my spreadsheet so bad. That’s a good idea, though.
