Wild Blueberry Acai

The hibiscus and rose hips show through a bit much for my taste.

another tea bag that ended up in my purse after a meeting from the tea basket. I like this. I would buy this if it was on sale, or if I had a cold. it’s tart, but lovely.

I haven’t posted a tasting note in months!! Last semester I was in Spanish. I’m retaking the course, I got a D. I’m drinking this Blueberry tea because I just want to relax without going to sleep, say with chamomile tea. I like the blueberry taste. I feel like making a salad to go with it. I crave salad at the weirdest time.

I was at the store looking for a good blueberry tea and I came across Bigelow’s Wild Blueberry Acai. It’s one of my favorite teas that I have tried so far! It can be a little tart but with a little bit of sugar it is nice and sweet!

Very tart. I wish it tasted more like it smelled, as the aroma is amazing, like blueberry cobbler with a hint of cinnamon. The taste is more like a very tart pomegranate. Maybe that’s why my bf mixes this with pomegranate tea.

This certain tea was too sour, so a spoonful of sugar did the trick. I do have to say that the smell is so much better than the actual taste of the tea. It tasted like blueberries, as expected, but felt a bit boring to me. I tried to make a second cup, but the tea bag had drained all of it’s flavor into my first cup. I had taken it out at exactly 4 minutes, but I guess this tea is pretty weak by the second cup. The tea leaves are pretty tiny. I personally would not buy this again.

Last bag, and I’m very happy to be de-cupboarding this one!

A friend loves this one and had included it in a mug gift for me. It’s been hanging out in my “to try” bin for a bit, so I snagged it and heated up some water. The tea bag smells quite a bit like blueberry candies. The tea has a purply- red hue to it and smells sweet. I’m reminded of Sweet Tarts candies while drinking it. I don’t quite taste the blueberry but do taste the acai. This would not be a winter tea for me but I think it would be good in the summer months or as an iced tea.

Tastes like walking into a candy shop that was opened many decades ago; it has a taste about it that you will fall in love with. It is full bodied, though a bit dry, like dark berries. I used to steal these from the tea area where one of my family worked, but I would love to have my own! Let it steep for around two-three minutes; it has marvelous potential and the rose hips balance the tartness of the berries perfectly!

Not quite as full-bodied as a fruity tea should be, leaves drinker slightly dissatisfied. Nevertheless, it is smooth, with perfect ingredient choices that completely complement each other. Slightly dry in the mouth; smells like a candy store. I would get this again! Steep a bit longer than most fruity/herbal teas for best taste.
