This is a very enjoyable cuppa. The blueberry seems to be spot on perfect. No artificial blueberry flavoring. I did use a little stevia which I think helped bring out the blueberry nicely.
I was surprised that it didn’t have either a blue or purple color. I’ve never had a purple tea before so maybe I had a false expectation.
Does anyone know the caffeine levels in purple tea?
This is the third time this week that the refrigerator repair man has had to come out.
ANNOYING!! I hate sitting around waiting for someone to come and then waiting while they do the work. Errrrg.

I’ve never had purple tea, and I always thought it would brew up purple or blue, too. haha
The tea sounds absolutely yummy.
So sorry you’re stuck waiting for a repair person… I always get so anxious when I’m waiting around for a plumber, or something like that. I’ve put off having my stove fixed for the exact reason. haha
At least sitting around waiting for repair guys gives you a good reason to sip tea while you’ve got nothing else to do.
The leaf itself does look purple. Check it out here: http://www.tearesearch.or.ke/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=42&Itemid=36. It’s not always easy to tell by the finished product though. I’ve noticed just about all of the purple teas do have at least a slight purple tone to the liquor. If you use a white cup, look around the edges to see the purple hue. Our Steamed Purple Green has the most purple brew of the Kenyan purple teas that I have tried.
The leaf is gorgeous, Stacy! Now I want to try purple tea in a white cup… (adding steamed purple green to my wishlist…)
I love how pretty the leaves look. :)
I’ll have to keep trying the purple teas as I found this very enjoyable. I’ll make sure I use a white cup so I can appreciate the color better. Thanks Stacy!
