Tea of the Week for August 9, 2021!
Oh my goodness – this is dreamy!
I came up with this tea “on the fly” – I was in my tea studio, about to blend a totally different tea when I came across just enough Mengku Assamica for one blend. I decided to shelf the other tea for a month & instead work with the Mengku – because this is a wonderfully glorious tea!
I’ve been thinking of crafting a blueberry lavender tea for some time because I simply love this flavor combination. The sweet flavor of the berry is a delightful companion to the intense floral taste of lavender. They play so well together on the palate.
I had the base, I had the key flavors chosen – but I wanted something a little different too – so I added a touch of cake batter essence to give this tea a background note of sweetness – licking the batter off the beaters kind of sweetness! YUM!
This tea is VEGAN, gluten-free, allergen-free & all-natural – not to mention unbelievably delicious!
ingredients: black tea, organic blueberries, organic lavender & natural flavors
to brew: shake the pouch before you start measuring.
