This tastes just like the homemade blueberry crumble cake my grandma makes – one I’m hoping she’ll have on tap when I visit her and my grandpa in the coming weeks.
There isn’t a lot of blueberry flavor, just a hint of berry. But I can taste the cinnamon and cake-y part of the cuppa long after my sip is completed.
I really like black and green tea blends, but this tastes and looks more like a green to me. No worries, though, it tastes just fabulous.
Wonder what this would be like cold brewed? I purchased this in a custom try-me-pack (love those, Della Terra Teas!) but I think I may purchase this one outright in the future. Actually, maybe I’ll bring it with me to visit my grandparents.
How successful have you been, Steepsterites, with plane travel and loose teas? Any tips? Should I just send a box to my grandparents instead?

no issues here with travelling on the plane and bringing tea. I usually have enough for a cup on the plane if it’s a longer flight and then toss the rest into my suitcase. Sometimes it’s been sealed, other times, not at all.
Yeah they shouldn’t give it a second glance at the airport. I’ve never run into any problems (and I fly a lot).
@Sil & Dinosara – thanks! I was worried they would think it’s drugs or something. Not that I planned to just throw it in my bag in a zippered plastic bag or something. I’ll use tins.
I’ve never flown with tea before… I’m also a wimp about flying so a cuppa mid-flight will calm me.
Also, it’s not a long flight – less than two hours. Like I said, wimp!
just remember the tea may taste different because of the altitude heh
I have also had no trouble traveling with tea!
Yeah you may want to bring a green or oolong for the flight itself. The hot water on the plane will not be boiling (because of the altitude), so black tea might be really weak but it should be better for a green.
I’ll opt for green tea to be safe. Thanks for the words of wisdom! :)
I had tea in tins and they wanted to look at them, there’s a small chance you get bothered about it but they won’t take it.
Blueberry crumble sounds amazing, mouth is watering! haha
