berry blues
by adagio teas
(29 reviews)
Just like the blues, this cup's got soul. A smooth and slightly tart blend of blueberries, apple pieces and hibiscus flowers. Sweet like a fresh blueberry pie, but without any added sugar or sweeteners. Good for kids or the kid at heart. Steep at 212°F for 5-10 minutes

To me, this is just another berry tea. Fruity and tart, nothing makes it stand out from long the rest.

Berry and tart aroma from the sample pouch. I wouldn't say blueberry specifically. I use 2 tsp for 8 oz because I like strong fruity flavors. Nice magenta liquor. Definitely smells more tart than berry after steeping. Definitely a hibiscus forward herbal. I like it but would choose Berry Creme Compote over this.

this will be one of my go to brews. Love the tartness of the tea, No caffeine is a clincher for me. I have high blood pressure

This is one of my fav fruity herbals from Adagio! A staple in my tea stash! Lovely brewed by itself, or along with a black or oolong tea. Lovely scent & taste Yum!

This one is amazing cold brewed, but is good hot too. It is both sweet and tart at the same time. It’s a winner!

This is a great fruity tea with blueberry and apple flavors predominant. I steeped at 212 degrees for 10 minutes and enjoyed this with no sweetener. I also tried the last bit with a little sweetener and it tasted good as well. This would probably be great iced as well.

Team Tart checking in and all aboard for this tea! Juicy, tart berries with lovely florals make this a cup of wow! I enjoyed mine hot and unsweetened and it was delicious, but I'm positive that cold brewing would be amazingly refreshing. I'd love to try this with some vanilla creamer and some toasty nutty flavors to make a blueberry pie alamode creation. Gonna have to search the blends because I'm sure someone has already made one.

One sniff was enough to make me put it in the refrigerator so I could enjoy it chilled. My guess is it's even better iced than hot (at least, here in the Floridian summer!). Beautiful crimson liquor, fruity, and with a wave of berry flavors that wash over the tongue--one moment bracingly tart, the next sweet and juicy. A bit of brown sugar brings out the flavor even further. Don't be afraid to let it steep overlong to extract all the berry goodness!

Lovely blueberry tea with a background of hibiscus and mixed fruit. If you love blueberry, you'll love this. Great iced or hot.

It's not my favorite fruity tisane (or even my favorite berry tea) but it holds its own in one of my top spots. The natural sweetness of the berries interacts well with the tartness of hibiscus, though the tartness is definitely much more prominent.

Sweet and tart, absolutely bursting with blueberry goodness. The taste is lovely and refreshing, and great however you like your tea (except with milk).

Lovely blueberry aroma. I did an overnight steep of 3.15grams of tea in 12 oz of cold water. The tea was a deep burgundy color. I added 1 tsp of sugar to enhance the fruity flavor, but it would also be good without any sweetener. Very refreshing, with no tartness noted from the hibiscus and rose hips.

Quite tart, hibiscus based tisane. Makes a very pretty ruby cup. Blueberry flavor is spot on, but not too intense.

Great tea a little tart for me , I don't add sugar or honey to my teas, but mixed with a cream black tea it is a perfect balance. Great hot or cold.

I drink a lot of regular caffeinated tea, and I have been hesitant to branch out to herbals, but lately I have found myself wanting decaffeinated tea at night before bed. I tried this as one of the half-off suggested samples. It smells and tastes really wonderful! I can't quite get with the tart quality, otherwise this would get 5 stars from me as the flavor is just about perfect - not fake tasting at all. It is definitely better cold/iced. I don't ever add sugar to my tea, but if I did I could imagine this one might become a little addictive!
A wonderful tea that I will probably buy a bag of at some point!

Excellent tea.
I started buying tea a few years ago at a local tea shop. I found adagio teas and have been a steady customer ever since. Berry blues is my go to tea for a number of reasons. One GREAT TASTE. Two no caffeine. I drink it all day. Iced or hot, this tea is fabulous. Beautiful berry taste. Mild and sweet ( I add sweetener to all tea). A great choice. I don’t usually give reviews but this is the only tea I’ve been able to drink every day and not tire of its taste. I think you will enjoy it as much as I have.

Strong blueberry flavor, I like it best as an iced tea. a refreshing tea for summer! Both Berry Blast and Berry Blues are solid, flavorful blends. I like all the fruity teas.

In my opinion, this tea works best as an iced tea. I don't think I'd recommend drinking it hot. This tea has a lot of berry pieces and it tastes berry-ful and a little tart from the hibiscus. It is very refreshing for summer.

A fun, bright tea perfect for summer. Only good for a single steep, though.

I'm not really a blueberry fan, but I really enjoyed this tea. It wasn't as tart as I thought it would be which is why I enjoyed it more. All the flavors blend very well together and it makes for a delicious berry tea with an emphasis on the blueberry flavor!

This was such a pretty color, and much more drinkable on it's own than some other berry herbal teas.
