This is another tea blend I bought on my first visit to Lily Chai Tea. In-store, the flavor of this blend was described to me as “a little dirty”, which may not be the most appealing-sounding, but it piqued my curiosity. While there isn’t an ingredients list (something I hope they’ll fix soon), I can see green tea, blue cornflower petals, and various kinds of berries in it. The dry tea has a fruity, earthy smell.
I brewed this one cold and enjoyed it as the afternoon’s iced tea. There is much less of the fruity sweetness in the flavor, and the earthiness dominates much more. There’s a tiny bit of tartness and some interesting herbal/vegetal flavors well. So yes, it is kind of dirt-like, but in a good, refreshing way. While the blend may resemble some of Teavanna’s fruity ones, which I know have very mixed reception, I think it’s much more unique.
