I’ve had this tea sitting in my cupboard since July. I don’t know why I hang on to my “good teas,” I really need to start enjoying them the second they come in. I’m pretty sure I’ve finally run through all my Butiki samples in the last week, so at least I’m making progress.
I really enjoyed my first experience with purple tea last week and since I’m a blueberry fan I couldn’t wait to try this one too. Don’t get me wrong, I did really enjoy this, but the blueberry was a little tart for my tastes so I ended up adding some sugar to help balance it out. That really helped give me the sweet-tart combination that I expected from the blueberry. I was really impressed with the quality of the blueberry flavoring, it is one of the most genuine that have tasted.
I actually preferred my second steep over the first. The tartness had mellowed out and I didn’t feel the need to add as much sugar. I’m not sure if this will be a reorder for me or not. Most likely I’ll stick to ordering the unflavored purple tea since I enjoyed it more and didn’t feel the need to sweeten it.
