(P.S. Did I mention I'm not really proficient with making graphics? But I needed something pretty...)
Hint of Mint
This is unsweetened white tea with mint in it, or so the label tells me. It's somewhat flavorless, slightly bitter, and not as minty as I'd like. I added some sugar syrup to sweeten it, thinking that might improve the flavor. It leaves a sour taste in my mouth, but maybe that's the syrup rather than the tea itself. In any case, sweetened or unsweetened, this is like drinking water that's masquerading as tea. Maybe it had a quick brush with a mint leaf, but then shied away for fear of actually tasting like mint. Highly disappointing, especially considering how good it smells.
Don't even bother picking the bottle up. It's water that vaguely tastes of mint, not tea! A disgrace I say.
Blueberry
Still leaves a bit of a bitter taste, but at least this one is sweetened. It tastes like it smells: blueberry white tea. It's refreshing, and for a bottled tea is pretty convincing. I admit that I'm usually a purist and would rather brew it myself, but this is one that I would drink again. Definitely an early summer/late spring type of tea. Can you tell I'm trying to rush winter away and find spring already? First the matcha, now this.
Yum! Juicy blueberries and white tea, I can almost roll the berries in my mouth. Perfect for days that are just warming up.
