The purple color is so lovely! The flavor is pretty light, requiring extra powder. The main flavor I taste is lavender, which is really nice. There’s a bit of something else like fruitiness, but I wouldn’t say blueberry specifically, and there’s definitely no macaron. I enjoy having a few herbal powders around for when I don’t have a lot of time, but I don’t think this is ultimately one I would repurchase.
Tea Pop!
Finally got around to trying this powder I picked up at the top of the year from Toronto Tea Festival. I was hesistant to make it after being pretty disappointed by Lemon Lily’s sakura powder. Honestly it was pretty solid, though! Definitely whisks up a STUNNING purple-y blue colour that only gets more intense and over time as the finely ground butterfly pea flower continues to infuse.
The flavour is definitely lavender first, but a very smooth and approachable lavender without that sometimes “sudsy” taste or being overly perfumed. The presence of sweeteners and vanilla helps for sure, though. Definitely smooths things out and takes an edge off the florals. The blueberry is there too, but a little milder. Less tart/juicy than I’d have expected, but it does work with the whole macaron sort of inspiration.
I bet this would be a very good latte, and probably lean more into the macaron element. I liked it as a tea pop though! Refreshing and not too sweet. With the vanilla note, it was almost like a lavender cream soda? So much less sugary though. I’d 100% make it this way again though.
I haven’t explored any instant herbals. Do you have any recommendations?
I’ve tried a few from DavidsTEA that are decent, but not notable enough to recommend. I had some awful ones from T2 ha. I’ll let you know if I find one I love!
There are a couple from Blume that I really love – particularly their Salted Caramel and the Acai Pomegranate from their SuperBelly line.
Ooo I’ll have to check those out – thanks for the recommendation!
I’ll keep in mind what to avoid and what to try! Thanks for the recommendations!
