Blueberry Green

Another bagged, flavoured green I picked up at work. Compared to the Mint Green from Tetley that I really liked this one was a bit of a disappointment. The blueberry flavour didn’t seem to meld well with the green tea, you got this hit of very sweet (and slightly fake) tasting blueberry and then the flavour of the green tea and even though it was from the same sip it just seemed…disjointed somehow? If the blueberry had tasted more like actual blueberries rather then sugary-sweet blueberry candy it probably would have been a good combination, as it was it was meh.

Ending on a good note the green tea didn’t turn bitter even though it was probably overcooked and oversteeped which is handy in a bagged tea which I at least tend to drink it non-optimum tea conditions.

I don’t typically like green tea (to be honest I kinda hated it- I usually drink black teas)- but this winter I got sick with mono and i read that green tea with all its wonderful antioxidant properties could speed the healing time- so I was determined to find a green tea that I didn’t mind. This one has been pretty good. I find the blueberry flavor perfect for covering up any grassy taste that I don’t like in most green teas. I would recommend this tea to anyone who is trying to get into the green tea game!
