I normally am not a fan of blueberry in herbal teas, but I tend to like Teavana's fruity blends so I gave this one a try. I was impressed.

Aroma is pleasing and fully natural: there's not a hint of anything remotely artificial, which I greatly appreciate. I definitely like green rooibos more than red, and the green rooibos really shines through in this blend, blending with, but not overpowered by the fruit. This blend also has an absence of the cooked berry or berry jam quality than I find puts me off to a lot of berry herbal teas. Although the name of this tea says blueberry, it contains grapes and black currants, both of which I tend to enjoy much more in herbal blends, and I think this may also explain why I liked this one so much.

Flavor is very clean: many fruit blends overdo it on the sourness, this one only has a pleasing hint of sourness.

This blend is slightly pricey, but less so than many Teavana's offerings, and I think offers good value given its quality. This blend will be a good option for people like me, who tend to find most fruit blends too sour or to have too much of the cooked fruit quality.

I agree with you, Alex. (And I don;t care for Rooibos - but Teavana's pricey tisane-like Green Rooibos blends work for me - especially iced in summer).
