Steep time: 3-4 minutes
Ingredients: organic fair trade biodynamic green tea, organic blueberries, organic blueberry flavor, organic vanilla flavor, organic vanilla pieces.
Aroma: out of the packet the tea leaves smell exactly like blueberries and vanilla. Has a super sweet scent which made me wary of the flavor. After steeping, tea has a fresh made-from-scratch blueberry pie smell.
Packaging: The tea bag has that unique triangle shape which allows the tea leaves to unfurl, and it has a thread, which I like because I can take the tea bag out by hand. It's bag packaging is a plastic-mix material which is recycleable and I would imagine would keep the tea fresh for a long time.
Tea Leaf Quality: Tea pieces & tea leaves. Before steeping I saw small tea chunks, after steeping I realize they are actually curled up tea leaves. There are also chunks of blueberry (you can see a blueberry stain in the cut open bag post-steeping picture above) and vanilla flakes.
Taste: The bag describes the tea as the "ultimate pure tea experience...meet(s) the extremely rigid guidelines to be Demeter Certified Biodynamic". The tea definitely has a fresh taste. It's (what I would consider) more of a gourmet tea. It's smoothe with a little spice in the after taste left at the tip of your tongue. To me it has a green tea flavor, with a blueberry kick and subtle notes of vanilla. It's enjoyable.
