Thanks so much for sharing some of this one, Mastress Alita! I am the biggest fan of the original Willy Wonka movie. I had such high expectations for Tim Burton’s remake (I am also a huge Tim Burton fan, the earliest movies mostly… I dressed up as Beetlejuice for Halloween when I was five, though now I can appreciate that Beetlejuice himself is not what makes that movie so great.) Anyway, the Burton Wonka remake was such a disappointment to me that I stopped watching his movies until now. But now I’m reviewing a Tim Burton book and have watched or rewatched most of his movies recently. The older movies: even better now, the other newer movies: not as bad as I expected. Will be rewatching Charlie & the Chocolate Factory tonight! ANYWAY. This tea is quite a combo from a small tea shop that just sounds dreamy. Chocolate, blueberry, maple, vanilla. The blend itself is gorgeous with yellow and blue flowers. Honestly, a chocolate and blueberry combination doesn’t sound TOO good to me, but I can understand why they are included (chocolate factory, ‘Violet you’re a blueberry!’) Somehow I taste mostly equal parts blueberry and chocolate. The end result is certainly unique and tasty anyway!
Steep #1 // 1 1/2 teaspoons for a full mug// 10 minutes after boiling // 3 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 4 minute steep

Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands remain some of my favorites too… old Burton is best Burton. :-) I think this is still my most chocolately tea that doesn’t include actual cacao powder… whenever a tea claims to be “chocolate” and doesn’t taste chocolate at all, I tend to blend it with this one, hahaha.
Haha, yes, the earlier movies are the best. And even Burton’s Batman is my favorite Batman movie. I think I also was PeeWee for Halloween even earlier than Beetlejuice but it might have been one of those dopey plastic shirt costumes that is simply a picture of Pee Wee.
