Tasting notes and thoughts:
Surprisingly, the tea tastes more like blackcurrant (cassis) more than blueberry, despite the smell. However, the tea was lacking in terms of taste. The taste was somewhat weak/bland, (but was improved with honey or sugar), but this may be because I'm not really a big fan of currants. I do admit that it eventually grew on me after the first few cups, though. I would recommend this, though, if you enjoy the fruits listed or just fruity teas in general. It was a great way to end a long bike ride!
Other notes:
I guess I've decided that there will be no pictures of the tea; I'll try to use only my words to describe it. This is a blog for me to improve my writing and tasting skills, right? (Also, I hope no one really reads these first few reviews because I know they're going to be pretty crappy- this is actually my first review ever, heh)
