Day 21 of the DavidsTea herbal advent calendar. I am not a huge fan of this one. I guess the name is because of the butterfly pea flower making it purplish-blue? It is that pretty color, and if I recall correctly this was initially released a few years ago when butterfly pea flower was very trendy. Which is fine and fun. But the flavor is a little eh. First off, it varies depending on what pieces from the blend you can actually get into the steeper. So the first time I made this, I got a strong berry flavor. But the second time, because I didn’t get a berry into the steeper, the brew tasted more of coconut than berry. The result is that it doesn’t feel super balanced or particularly interesting, more just gimmicky. It’s ok enough that I’ll finish off the little sample, but I have no desire to ever drink it again.
