Alaska Wild Teas

A friend went on a cruise to Alaska,and she bought me a sampler of herbal teas from this company. I have cranberry, raspberry, wild rose and this blueberry tea. I decided to make the blueberry first.

I wasn’t really expecting much. A lot of these “touristy” teas are pretty generic. Nothing to really write home about. This one is a step above that. When I first poured the water over the bag the water turned grey. I was a bit repulsed. But then I realized that was the blueberries. And the color quickly turned brown as it steeped. Even with my sense of smell severely subdued, I could smell the blueberries. The flavor was mild. I have three more bags of this one and I think I’ll try it iced next. The weather is quite warm here this week, so iced tea is the way to go now. :)
