A delightful blend of bright Ceylon black tea, fresh Blueberry flavor and playfully accented with dried blueberries. An aromatic cup, definitely more like the 'highbush' variety of Blueberry (highly fragrant and delicately tart). Fresh flavor, slightly sweet and rounded texture - not too juicy. Great hot or iced and easy to blend with other teas, too. Try it with Vanilla Black or Cream for added creamy texture. Steep at 212°F for 3 minutes

A light, gentle taste. There was no bitterness and it was naturally quite sweet with distinct blueberry notes. I think this would be good blended with an oolong, or maybe even the almond oolong. I brewed it hot twice and then let it cool overnight and it was a very refreshing iced tea in the morning.

I didn't have any blueberries in my packet and the berry scent was very faint. 90 sec @ 165 and poured over ice. It was okay as a light iced tea for my tastes, but not very strong on the blueberry flavor.

The packet smelled rather nice. I noticed that there was only a single blueberry in my CommuniTEA packet which is still apparently one more than what other reviewers had. The flavor is okay. The berry is there although rather light. I brewed as per the instructions, but the black tea is still more astringent that what I expected even after adding sugar. I ended up adding a dash of milk. It helped mask the astringency. This tea is generally alright. I'd drink it again if I received it as a gift, but I likely won't go out of my way to purchase it.

Such a good fruity black tea! Wonderful hot or cold-brewed. Makes a really great latte as well!! The decaf version from Adagio is wonderful as well!

I found this tea to be bitter, even when steeped at 190 degrees. There was also no blueberry in my sample so maybe it would have tasted better if I had one. I will definitely try it again if given the chance.

I Just love the blueberry tea hot and iced. I mixed the blueberry with gingerbread, cream or vanilla black teas to give it a homemade blueberry pie taste. To try it iced use blueberry and cream and milk and sweetener, to bring out the distinct flavors of this blend.

I really love this tea. On its own, mixed with vanilla, cream or Earl Grey, hot or cold. It's just really lovely.

This was one of the few exceptions to fruity black teas from Adagio, where I found the blueberry flavor very welcoming and you could definitely taste it. I thought it worked well as a black tea, which I was very surprised about. Delicious iced.

This blueberry tea is great for waking you up in the morning. I like it with a splash of milk and cube of sugar. The blueberry flavor is bold and delicious.

I recently enjoyed Adagio's Black Mango tea, so naturally this led to my sampling other fruit-flavored black teas by them. While my heart will always belong to mango, I truly relished the freshness of this blend. The juiciness is neither overly pronounced, nor "watered down." It simply merges with the Ceylon black tea to create a pleasant mouthful that leaves me craving more... until my cup is empty before I know it! Best served hot, it makes an amazing breakfast companion, especially if you're enjoying a stack of blueberry pancakes on the side! Since I had no such stack available to me, I dissolved a bit of brown sugar into mine to cater to my morning sweet tooth. Very flavorful and aromatic, you can bask in the presence of the blueberry fragrance long after the last drop is gone and the cup emptied.

Didn't even realize that the flavoring was blueberry. Tasted more like pineapple to me. I also found the black tea and the fruit flavoring to be clashing and in conflict. This tea wasn't outright offensive, but I certainly wouldn't recommend it, either

Lightly fruity blend. The tea comes through very well, with just a touch of blueberry.

I made this hot and iced to give it a fair review. I like it better as an iced tea - it's a really wonderful everyday iced tea that has just the right amount of fruitiness. I'm giving it four stars because it does taste and smell somewhat artificial to me (it has a sort of cough-syrup flavor to me). It's not as bad as some berry teas, but it's not as natural tasting as I would like. I plan to mix this into blends with other teas like cream, vanilla, raspberry, etc. I'm excited to experiment with it a little!

I bought this tea as a recommended tea sample for half price and wasn’t expecting it to be this good. I had tasted Adagio’s blueberry flavors with Bella’s Luna Blue but this was the first time I had tried them outside of that context and I wasn’t impressed but enjoyed the blend regardless. It’s not the best black and berry blend I’ve ever had but I like it enough to keep drinking it. I’m not sure yet if I’m going to order more once my sample runs out.

This has a generic fruity aroma and taste. I do not get blueberry from it at all, and it is pretty bitter even when steeped at a lower temperature (195F). It is drinkable for a fruity black tea, but it isn't great if you want to taste actually blueberries.

Man, I was hoping the blueberry would've been stronger here. It's there, but more of an afterthought. Still pretty alright though.

This tea was just ok. The blueberry didn't complement the tea as much as I hoped.

Excellent blueberry blend! The black tea adds to it instead of overpowering - definitely love it!

I enjoyed this but I didn't think that the blueberry was very strong.

I personally wasn’t a fan. I didn’t feel as though I got much of a blueberry flavor from it. Maybe I should have steeped it at 200°F instead of 212°F. Tried it without sweetener, with agave sweetener, and with agave sweetener and milk.

You really can't go wrong with any of Adagio's fruit teas. Great full bodied taste, no bitterness, smooth.

I'm always surprised how well blueberries go with tea. This is a good blueberry tea without as much of the astringency as other adagio flavored black teas.

This is probably one of my favorite teas. It has a full flavor while not being overpowering. Add some milk and sugar and my morning ritual is complete

Delicious berry flavor. The aroma is fruity and rich. This is one of my favorites and pairs well with chocolate. Great hot and iced!

This is a very good berry black teas. I typically add a bit of maple syrup and believe or not it makes it taste like blueberry pancakes.
