Sipdown (2747)!
Finished this sample off as part of a “Teas I Drink In a Day” post yesterday. I was hoping the lemongrass and jasmine would come through a little more, but I couldn’t taste the jasmine at all and the lemongrass only barely added a little hint of citrusy grassiness. Mostly this was incredibly mild tasting with an earthier floral note that was just sort of meh.
The “wow factor” of the blend is easily the brilliant blue colour of the butterfly pea flower. It would probably make for a decent starting point for more fancy recipe creation. Things like cocktails or lattes you want to add a blue hue to. But I wouldn’t really reach for this again as a standalone drink for the blue colour alone. Flavour is more important to me personally, and this is just missing that.

Sipdown, and had it as an iced tea for ashmanra’s sipdown challenge. I brewed it hot and then let it cool. The aroma of the loose leaf is primarily floral, with maybe a hint of lemongrass. Once it’s brewed up, more of that tart lemon comes through in the scent. As for the taste, I get a savory, almost earthy flavor that I assume is the butterfly pea flower. That’s definitely the dominant note, with a refreshing lemongrass note coming in at the end of the sip and lingering afterwards. I really have to search for the jasmine, to the point that I think I’m imagining actually detecting it at all. Like all butterfly pea flower teas, this one is a fun color, and the flavor is a nice change of pace from a lot of the typical herbal blends, but I don’t personally love it enough to restock.
