This tea is a bit strange. It’s got a good jasmine flavour to it but I’m getting all kinds of other flavours as well. I can’t really pick out the white tea from the green but it still blends nicely together. I think I can pick out the honeysuckle but there are 3 ingredients that are foreign to me. I don’t know what these taste like:
Bee pollen
blue pea flower
dried star fruit
It might be the bee pollen I am picking up. Just wondering what those above things taste like. It’s a strange mix to add to the tea but it does work. LP, you are very creative. Can you give a little insight into this tea? I’ve read your tasting note on it and saw your Facebook video but still wonder… why star fruit? Why bee pollen? What is blue pea flower?
Flavors: Honeysuckle, Jasmine

That weird taste is probably blue pea flower. It’s that flower people were using as a tea that became popular because it brews blue. I don’t like the taste because it’s like a wild funk that won’t leave you alone; however, others seem to like it. One day I just decided that I wanted to have ‘fairy dust’ on one of my teas and well, floral was the way to go… but then I realized it has to be sweet and colorful, so I did what I did. Hopefully all of that makes sense.
Thanks for the info.
I did a google on it now and all these blue tea pictures came up. It is very pretty. Finally found one that says it tastes woody and earthy. Interesting! It has many health benefits too. First time for me even hearing about it.
