Blueberry Pomegranate

The 3rd sample from The Jade Teapot that I’ve tried.

The smells of this are very strong. Definitely can smell the pomegranate right off the bat, but with each time I take a whiff of this, I can smell the more subtle things like the blueberry and peony. When comparing to a bag of pomegranate white tea from Argo Tea, the white tea from Argo smells like a much sweeter pomegranate. The blueberry pomegranate tea from TJT smells like pure pomegranate juice almost.

I think this tastes quite nice, but I do agree with Erin that the fruity flavor can be a bit overpowering. But to me, that isn’t a bad thing. I would recommend steeping this at low times and temps so the pomegranate and blueberry isn’t super overpowering. I still find this to be a good, relaxing tea.

This was a free sample from The Jade Teapot. I chose this because I love Adagio’s White Blueberry, and pomegranates are good too. So why not combine them and see what happens?

It smells fruity. The pomegranate smells a lot stronger than the blueberry. In fact, I can’t smell any blueberry, but blueberries are light and pomegranates aren’t, so I guess that is to be expected.

This is a little overpowering. I expected this tea to be light, but it’s a very full bodied tea and I’m not sure I like it. It is overly sweet from the pomegranate, and I can’t taste the blueberries or even the white tea base. Still, it isn’t all bad. I’m not going to be able to finish the cup, though. I still appreciate the free sample from The Jade Teapot.

One of my favorite white teas! I could taste both the blueberry and pomegranate, and steeping for about two minutes was perfect, giving it a nice light flavor.
