Just like the blues, this cup's got soul. Smooth, slightly tart, with sweetness like fresh blueberry pie.

This is a delicious blueberry-apple tea that tastes great on its own or with a teeny bit of agave. The fruit flavors are refreshing and while I drank mine warm, I’m sure it would be terrific iced as well. I steeped at 212 degrees for 10 minutes.
The hibiscus is slightly tempered by sweet blueberry but it still a bit too hibiscus for my tastes.
To me, this tastes like a slightly less tart regular hibiscus tea. I brewed the tea for 10 minutes and the tea did have a depth to it. It was not as lemonade-tangy as straight hibiscus, but I had to wait for it to cool to get the mildest apple/berry flavor, and I didn't note sweetness until I added honey. A 5 minute rebrew produced a very light and sweet cup, with more fruit flavors and less sour taste. So if you are someone who doesn't like hibiscus tea or sour tea, try shorter brew times or even rinsing this one for a minute before you brew. This tea tastes great with Adagio's fruit tisane honey and pairs well with sweet and sour fruit.
This tea smells and tastes fantastic. I let mine steep for a full ten minutes to get all the hibiscus and blueberry flavor I could get. Delicious.
UPDATED from 6/9/21 “Don’t know when I’ve been so blue/ Don't know what's come over you/ You've found someone new and/ Don't it make my brown eyes blue.”
I can hear Crystal Gayle (Loretta Lynn’s much younger sister) singing this as I open the CommuniTea packet. This steeps into a daring dark scarlet! What a tasty tart tea! Blueberries are not especially sweet, so this is perfect to me. I add ¼ teaspoon of sweetener (to 10 oz) to bring out more of the blueberry flavor and make this a sweet /tart tea. It is good hot, but as it cools and gets cold - it is SUPER DELICIOUS!. A perfectly refreshing ice tea for summer. Sadly, only good for one steep, so as my cup empties “...don’t it make my brown eyes blue.” (I always have more on hand, especially to cold steep in the warmer months). (10 mins @ 212ºF + sweetener).
Nice crisp yet smooth tea with a wonderful berry flavor, though at times the apple felt a bit more in the forefront. Might have to try this one iced.
This tea has a beautiful red color and a fruity aroma. I loved the blend of fruit and floral. Delicious!
Very close to the fruit sangria. Just a little note of blueberry.
It's an ok one, not as berry as berry blast, this one seems to have some apple.
Blueberry component overwhelms all other flavors.
The blueberry flavor in this was nice but not overly fantastic
Not bad, somewhat bland, should be more flavorful.
Great Herbal tea, lots of berries in the cup. Definitely a keeper.
Strong blueberry taste and it has a good amount of actual blueberries! Good on its own, but often times I mix it with chamomile.
Not a lot of flavor and what flavor there is seems kind of fake.
Mmmmm, hot or iced this fruity concoction is just the thing needed to perk me up! Smooth, a little sweet & tart. I added a touch of honey.
Tart but still wonderful. Tastes better cold without sugar. @adagioteas
Smells and tastes exactly how you would expect. Very berry.
I did not like this tea at all, it pretty much tastes like weird apple juice to me, but if you like apple juice that could be great!
Delicious, fruity and sweet. I’ve been drinking it iced mixed with Buddhas Dream every night since I received it.
I love berry teas because I don't need to add sugar to feel like it's sweet enough. This is pleasantly tart.
Very good. One of my favorites!!! Would def buy again
Reminds me of berry zinger teas I loved when I was a kid. Light, bright, and tart tea, with more of a mixed berry flavor than strictly blueberry. Very good hot, outstanding cold.
Fruity and fantastic! This was just what I wanted in a fruit herbal tea. Highly recommend!
Good tasting. The flavours mixed well together.
This tea needs steeped a long time to get it strong enough but once you get it fully flavored it’s fantastic!
This is a wonderful tea...fresh fruity flavor that is not overwhelming. There is not any flavor that is overpowering another. It's a great blend.
Great tea. Very nice on a cold steep overnight. Requires sweetening.
Sweet pleasant tea hot but it is amazing cold. I make a pitcher ones a week.
One of my favorites. Very flavorful and like to add to other flavors such as pineapple and dewy cherry.
the delicately blended berries was smooth and delicious
We bought Berry Blast and Berry Blues. We compared them both and this tea won out.
The tea was good. I thought it could have had a bit more flavor. But good to sip on.
This is very nice with a bold blueberry taste thats not too strong.
It’s good , I enjoyed it , but some of the other teas are definitely my favorites .
Really good iced ! I think I like fruit medley slightly better though.
I bought this to add with my berry teas. It boosts their flavor nicely. However, it is best when cold-brewed. This allows more time for the berry flavors to come out and play. Much of that greatness goes undiscovered when steeped.
An amazing herbal tea I love having around. It is nice hot or cold.
I was a bit disappointed that this wasn’t stronger than it was. I tried going all the way up to the full ten minute steep time, and it didn’t make much difference. It was ok, nothing spectacular.
This blend of berries actually tastes great. I drink this every day.
Great berry taste...I am a fan of mixing teas and this one mixes well with my favorite Cherry Green tea.
Great Ice tea. I combine this with 'Fruit Medley. Add a slice of Orange! Very refreshing!
This had a nice and refreshing blueberry taste! Love it!
You'll 'blunder the blues' with this tea! A strong, forward blueberry flavor with a mixed berry/hibiscus base. I prefer this one iced, either cold brewed or hot brewed then chilled.
First of all, if you're not a fan of hibiscus, then you're probably not going to be a fan of this tea. If you ARE a fan of hibiscus, like me, then you have a high probability of liking it as much as I did! The hibiscus added a very wonderful tart sweetness to the berry flavors. I was expecting it to taste more like blueberry, but with the tartness I found it to be more like blackberry (perhaps with a blueberry undertone). I liked the results, though. It was also a really lovely purple color. I think this would make a delicious, beautiful, and refreshing iced tea as well. Definitely recommended for hibiscus lovers.
A blueberry aroma poured out of today's sachet. Steeping this herbal tea for 7 minutes at 212ºF was an easy choice by pressing a button. The resulting tisane was a deep red color with a pink hue.
After seeing hibiscus listed on the ingredients roster, I braced myself for tartness as I took the first sip. I was pleasantly surprised to find a well balanced berry blend with some moderate tart flavors, yet not overpowering. Blueberry flavors were present, and hibiscus was definitely there to provide some tartness. Perhaps just enough to simulate the blueberry skin flavor? Adding some rock sugar made this one pop. The hibiscus tartness was able to be tamed down just enough to let the blueberries shine.
This one was a very good approximation of a fresh blueberry, and paired well with some blueberry strudels and fresh blueberries. Overall this one is a really good blueberry herbal tea.
A rather sweet and delicious tea with a tart flavor that does not overwhelm. It's a vibrant red, and an absolute delight to sip on. A great first tea for kids, too.
I felt that the hibiscus overpowers the blend in general and makes it quite sour. There are berry flavors present, yes, but it all falls short due to the hibiscus. If you want a sweet but tangy fruit blend I wholeheartedly recommend raspberry patch instead.
I really liked this one! One of my regular teas is Celestial Seasonings True Blueberry Herbal Tea and this has a similar strong blueberry flavor. Berry Blues is sweeter without anything added and a bit more... Red flavored... There's something about it that makes it like a pie filling rather than straight blueberry. It's a strong fruity flavor that's fun without being too tart.
Tart and a little sweet, just like a good Blueberry. Really tasty.
