As you may know, I love blueberry herbal teas. I love that combination of sweet, sour and floral that make it like a juice but lighter. I also haven't reviewed a Zen Tea thing in a while, and still have quite a bit to review from them.
Outsides: This tea has a wide variety of indredients including apple, hibiscus, currants, raisins, blueberry, lemongrass, more blueberries (?), cornflower, sunflower, marigold, rose, citric acid and vitamin C, so a really unique blend of ingredients. The dried tea smells like blueberry jam though, so I'm excited. I brewed about 2 teaspoons of this in 8 oz of boiling water for 5 or so minutes. The tea is a nice berry red and smells sweet and juicy like a blueberry.
Insides: This is definitely different than the other blueberry herbal teas I've tried thanks to the citrus flavor. You get a strong, sweet berry flavor with a lot of fullness and depth but it's lightened up with the lemongrass favor and contrasted with the citric acid. The fruity flavors really pop with a bit of added sugar. This tea would be awesome for kids since it's basically a healthy Kool-aid with added vitamin C to it or iced and possibly used in a punch or sangria.
Overall: I like it. It's not as cheap as the other blueberry herbal teas, but it probably would be a better alternative for the summer.
I think I'm going to try to implement a bit of a different rating system.
Taste: A strong fruity herbal
Price: 9 dollars for about 4 oz.
Uniqueness: The general idea isn't that unique but the flavor is.
Uses: Great for late-night and children. Can be iced and tastes great with or without sugar.
My Rating: Try it.
