A sensuous blend of premium white tea with juicy high bush mountain blueberries rounds out a clean fresh finish, not to sweet, not too tart. Because this is a white tea, it has a delicate flavor, which is neither bitter nor astringent. Instead, white teas get to the very essence of what tea is. Their leaves are less processed than those of other teas, as they are plucked, and then immediately dried, with no other processing involved.
The blueberry notes of this tea are neither sweet, nor overpowering, but offer a subtle hint of berry. This is a tea designed for warm summer afternoons, reading a book in the sun.
