I made this three times and noticed that it varies quite a bit depending on how it is prepared. The best result came from using freshly boiled water (normally, green tea gets a lower temperature) and a steep time of only a few minutes. The flavor then is quite pleasant and smooth, but not especially strong.
Given that I'm not always a fan of flavored green tea, I was delighted and surprised by this one--when it was prepared as above.
Update: I made this at work and it worked very well. In contrast with above, the water was less than boiling. It didn't turn bitter even though I left the bag in it pretty much the whole time. The blueberry seemed more of a scent than a flavor to me, but was quite nice.

I must preface this review by noting that I tend not to like blueberry-flavored anything. Why am I trying this then? I like trying new things, and I periodically like trying things that I'm expecting not to like, because sometimes I am surprised.
With this one, I wasn't surprised.
The tea bag (and brewed cup) have a blueberry smell that, while rather natural and rich smelling, I didn't like.
The base tea was relatively fine tea dust, but it didn't taste totally horrible.
I think some people might like this more than I did. It wasn't my cup of tea, but it didn't strike me as egregiously terrible the way many fruit-flavored green tea blends are. Still, I'm not going anywhere near it in the future!
