Blueberry - decaf. This was a nice drink flavor. Steeped for 3 minutes at 212. Nice flavor, would likely have liked more real blueberries in the pack - there was only one. A mild flavor, not too strong. Enjoyable, but not at the top of my list.
The dried tea in the CommuniTea envelope smelled like black tea with a hint of blueberries. I steeped it overnight in the fridge. The tea tasted like black tea (which I don't love) with a hint of blueberries. I'd prefer something that was overwhelmingly blueberry.
i didn’t get a blueberry in my comminitea packet so i was thinking that would impact the taste, but it was surprisingly still very fruity! a little bit of honey helped bring out the berry flavors too
Update 3/5/22 second time trying this with CommuniTea. Brewed at 190 for 4 mins and it was much more flavorful than my first . I added a bit of decaf vanilla to this and the berry flavor really popped.
I was really looking forward to a decaf tea with my favorite fruit blueberries. The packet smelled fruity and I had one blueberry in my packet. There was more smell than taste with this tea for me. I do like the idea of a decaf black tea. I may order a sample and give it a try again.
Although I didn’t see a blueberry in my small little CommuniTea bag, I certainly had plenty of a blueberry taste. It was a very flavorful tea, and it’s great because it’s decaf. I didn’t put in any sugar because I typically don’t add anything to my teas but others have suggested that it adds to the flavor. I’m happy with mine as is. Lovely!
This tea makes for a nice evening cup, without any bitterness. The smell and taste of blueberries is quite strong!
This is the decaf version of one of my favorite springtime breakfast teas. They taste very similar, but this one has a slightly milder blueberry flavor.
Nice blueberry aroma. Can’t quite adjust to my taste. Blueberry at first but there’s an aftertaste that probably needs a sweetener to fix.
CommuniTEA sample, I cold brewed this tea in the refrigerator overnight. The blueberry flavor was strong and I didn't taste any bitterness. I also added a little honey. This was delicious.
The blueberry flavour tastes quite good, and combines nicely with the decaf ceylon tea. I enjoyed this.
Very yummy! The blueberry comes through very nicely. It makes me want pancakes! Can you add maple syrup to tea?
Good, but you need a little sugar in it to make the flavor come out. The blueberry is only noticeable in smell otherwise. Is a nice flavor though. Doesn't have that cough drop taste some berry flavors can get.
I barely had the packet open and could instantly smell blueberry. The Ceylon tea with the undertones of blueberry was pleasant to taste. The house now has an aroma of blueberry, which I'm certainly not complaining about. Being a decaf tea, it is a definite choice for me when winding down for the day.
This tea is full of blueberry flavor and adding a splash of milk makes it creamy and extra delightful. Great for after dinner!
This is a great Blueberries tea has a great taste I really enjoy this tea ( 212 a 3 min.)
A delicious blueberry tea perfect for lazy afternoons 🫐💙🫐 No bitterness at all, just a mild black tea with a great true blueberry flavor.
CommuniTEA portion: Enjoyed this as a nice wind down after a long day. Lovely blueberry. A slight bitterness but still enjoyable.
Today's CommuniTEA packet has a beautifully bright blueberry fragrance with an almost bubble gum like finish. Black tea often overpowers fruit flavors to me, but this blend is perfectly balanced. By itself it has the perfect amount of natural sweetness for those without a sweet tooth, but adding a splash of Italian sweet cream transforms this tea into a luxurious blueberry cobbler in a mug. For a caffeine punch I blended some plain with monkey picked oolong and the subtle orchid notes perfectly compliment the juicy blueberry flavor. Adding this to my wishlist to experiment more in the future.
I enjoyed this with milk and sugar, but for some reason I thought it tasted like soap... in a good way???
Upon opening the packet, I was greeted with a strong blueberry scent. The taste of blueberry wasn't as strong as other blueberry teas I've had and I felt there could be a little more flavor. I added a little honey, and it was a very pleasant tea, but I have found others that I like a little more. I felt both steeps were similar with the second one being a little longer. I enjoyed this tea, especially being decaf.
This tea was an absolute delight to get in my communitea packet. I brewed it a little cooler because I find that flavored black teas tend to get bitter very easily when made with water just off the boil. When it was hot there wasn't much flavor to it, but as it cooled, the blueberry really shined! I also added a pinch of sugar to make the blueberry pop even more. I'm sure this tea is absolutely fantastic iced as well, but I really enjoyed having this as a nice warm cup on a chilly day with freezing rain
It tasted how you would expect blueberry tea to taste. It was a good cup of tea.
This one surprised me, it was my first Adagio blueberry tea, and where others are fake tasting this one is really good.
I usually seek out caffeine in my teas. So, while I find this completely delicious, I wouldn't necessarily order it. If you prefer a decaf tea, this is a serious contender. Flavorful, smooth and no bitterness noted. Simply yummy!
This was my communiTEA tea today. It does have a very good blueberry flavor to it and doesn't need much to sweeten it. I'm just not a fan of decaf tea because you loose so much of the tea flavor. For decaf, this is very good.
CommuniTEA 3/5/22: I love it! Bursting with blueberry flavor and much more complex than I anticipated. I don't normally like decaf teas because they taste a little flat, but this one was fabulous! I think the herbaceous raspberry leaves rounded out the flavor and balanced out the bright taste of the fruit. It's going on my wishlist!

1/3 tbsp raw sugar 10oz mug
To me this Tea wasn’t bad but it was yummy either. I didn’t care for the blueberry flavor. Seemed artificial maybe. I added 1 tsp raw sugar and the blueberry flavor was strong but the black tea was too weak.
This is a light and lively blueberry tea. Very fresh tasting, mildly astringent and no bitterness. I bet it would be fantastic iced.
Very distinctly blueberry, with mild hints of a black tea background. Compared to the caffinated version of this same tea, it's not as bitter, there is less black tea flavor and more fruitiness. Good served hot but even better as an iced tea.
This tea was okay. I taste the blueberry on the aftertaste. 212 degrees for 5 minutes.
Even though my CommuniTEA packet didn't have any blueberries in it, this is a very enjoyable decaf tea. The blueberry scent and flavor are amazing. Adagio's decaf teas aren't harsh or bitter, and are very smooth and flavorful.
Great smell, decent taste, no caffeine. I like blueberries and blueberry flavored things so this was right up my alley. It was ok, but I think this would be even better sweetend and iced, I might need to get a big bag this summer so I can make a pitcher or two.
UPDATED from 8/6/21
The smell of orange is strong with this CommuniTea packet. What a clean, fresh aroma. It steeps (at a slightly lower temp to avoid bitterness) into a red/orange tea. For those of you who cannot have a lot of caffeine (like me) this is a great choice. The orange flavor is light, but tickles your tongue. I add 1/4 teaspoon of stevia sweetener and just the littlest bit of heavy whipping cream (to 10 oz), and it is delightful. This tea handles a second infusion very well, so you get 'more bang for your buck' as well. The second brew I turn into ice tea (with the sweetener and cream) and add fresh orange pieces to give it a little boost. I can drink it all day without worry! (3 mins @ 200 º F + sweetener).
For me, probably the most pleasing thing about the Decaf Blueberry was the aroma. Upon opening the package I was immediately struck by the delight aroma and was anxiously awaiting the taste of this tea. It did not disappoint but then it did not capture me either. I am not sure if this is possible but I think I missed the caffeine because the tea, although pleasant, was flat. I should add that I am not a fan of decaf teas and perhaps I was already swayed towards not acceptable. Having said that though I am tremendous fan of blueberries and will eat/drink/smell anything blueberry. Other than being flat, the tea was acceptable. Did I say that, I am a tea SNOB.
Just the right amount of flavoring (light). I totally overbrewed the first steep and it still tasted amazing. Liked that there is no bitterness to this blend. Brewed/steeped next 2 correctly and added milk and honey and still good.
Today’s decaf blueberry tea is a delicious burst of blueberry yumminess!! I am a fan!
This tea starts with a fantastic aroma, which is a preview to the fresh and delicate blueberry flavor. The blueberry wasn’t at all overpowering or overly sweet, and was a great compliment to the Ceylon tea. Especially nice that this is decaf, so perfect to both start or end your day with.
Only one blueberry in my packet, but I popped in a few more and it was wonderful. I love the ceylon tea, and the addition of raspberry was subtle but nice.
This is a delicious fresh blueberry tea. There was one nice fat blueberry in my packet and the smell was marvelous! I followed Jim’s advice and steeped at 190 degrees for 4 minutes with just a little turbinado sugar. I used a small teacup instead of a mug, so I will get a nice bonus second steep that will be a little weaker.
I think I prefer Earl Blue Decaf but this is a contender!
First taste: When I looked at the back of the communiTea packet and saw Ceylon, I was preparing for bitter. Brewed at a lower temp (200), for a shorter time (2min), did a good luck dance and Surprise no bitter. This was simply a nice balance of black tea and blueberry. Added a little peach tea to the second steep as I wanted the caffeine and enjoyed summer in a glass.
March '22 update: Experience has taught me that Adagio has an amazing decaf process that removes the bitter with the caffeine while still leaving a rich tea flavor. The rasberry leaves can add a touch of bitter but it usually balances well adding a little extra depth to this tea. Happily, I now brew this one for 3 minutes to pull out additional blueberry goodness for each sip.
This was really enjoyable! The blueberry flavor was wonderful and not cloying. A fantastic way to end an evening
Delicious decaf tea with a nice blueberry flavor.
Opening the packet smelled like a blueberry patch it was followed up with a nice taste of blueberries. Reminded me of when I use to go blueberry picking with my family.
First I tried it with no sugar; pretty good. The blueberries didn't overpower, and like many decaf teas it wasn't too bitter (my black tea always comes out bitter.) Then I added just a little sweetener (Stevia) and now I have blueberry pie! The raspberry leaves give a subtle flavor that blends well with the blueberry.
Generally speaking, I tend to like teas with blueberries and this one is no exception! A delicious blend that is sweet without needing additional sweetener. Also, I can really get behind this tea to cheer it forward because it is decaf! I appreciate those 2 main factors so much that I will buy this one until the cows come home!! It is a smooth, light infusion good hot and cold. The sweet blueberry flavors seem to be more prominent in its cold brew form.
Fantastic! I love blueberries, but many of the blends I’ve had containing blueberry fell short of my expectations. I might have been blessed with an abundant CommuniTEA packet, because this had amazing blueberry flavor through 2 steeps (3 mins ea @ 200°). In the past I’ve made the mistake of eating fresh fruit along with fruit teas, and it often makes the flavor seem weak or artificial, but I happily ate a bowl of blueberries while sipping this and it held up perfectly. Adding to my faves.
One year later - still love, love, love!
It smells great—a strong blueberry fragrance. It smells good enough to eat. And it retains a yummy smell after steeping. It’s an enjoyable cup of tea.
A nice cuppa fruity black tea that fills the room with the wonderful scent of blueberries. The bag opened with a very fresh blueberry aroma and it carried through to the tea. Goes great with a splash of milk in it as well. @adagioteas
This has a wonderful blueberry flavor. Great for winding down at night with a fruity treat. :)
Update: I think my CommuniTea packet was off balance. With a larger sample, this was lovely. It's also the basis for one of my favorite blends. A very nice tea. 9 grams in 32 ounces of 200-degree water for three minutes.
Today's CommuniTea packet is decaf blueberry, made with decaffeinated black Ceylon tea, blueberry flavor, raspberry leaves and blueberries. I love blueberries, but unfortunately, Adagio's blueberries usually jump packet on me and today was no different. Nary a blueberry to be seen. When brewed, there was a hint of fruit, but it was hard to tell if it was blueberry or the raspberry leaves that I was smelling. The tea didn't taste like Ceylon on its own, but it didn't particularly taste of blueberries either. More like it wanted to taste like blueberries. Had I tasted it blind, it's an acceptable tea, especially for decaf, but it's hard to give blueberry tea full props when it missed the blueberry mark. Perhaps a more balanced packet would have given a better result. (Brewed in 12 ounces of 200° water for 3 minutes.)
