Blueberry Rooibos Tea from True Honey Teas

 

At last weekend's sewing and quilt expo, I was quite surprised to come across a tea vendor at one of the booths! True Honey Teas was a new name in tea to me, and happily, they had huge urns of all the flavors so that we could sample the teas. I picked up a bag of the Blueberry Rooibos and was surprised at what a heavy, thick bag it was. I decided to have a sip of that particular tea, and oh my goodness, it was bursting with the flavors of blueberry and honey!

So naturally, I bought a bag to take home with me.

The tea bags contain Blueberry Honey Granules (Blueberry Juice, Cane Sugar, Honey, and Citric Acid) and Organic Rooibos. They are super thick, several times the size of a normal tea bag. I wondered what the tea inside actually looked like but decided it would be ridiculous to cut one apart just to see. I mean, how nosy would you have to be to—

So anyway, once I cut it open, this is what I saw. It looks like a bunch of purple pellets and rooibos tea. No wonder they prefer to package it in tea bags!

But again, the tea is so yummy. In fact, I debated whether I wanted to share any of it with my seven- and six-year-old neighbor friends, and I finally decided that yes, it would be selfish to keep this deliciousness to myself. You should have seen their smiling faces after they took one sip of this tea! They said it was the best tea I've ever served them, so again I say: Yum. The sweetness from the honey and the rich blueberry flavor made this a rather decadent treat. The tea has 50 calories per serving, so I won't be having more than one cup per day, but it's a blend that I'd not heard of before, and I'm sure glad I tried it. And when I run out, I was happy to learn that I can order more at truehoneyteas.com.
