What it is
This is a blend of black tea leaves infused with the flavors of blueberries and lavender. Black tea provides a robust base, while the addition of blueberry offers a fruity sweetness.

How people cook with it
This tea can be enjoyed on its own or as a base for more elaborate drinks. It offers a unique flavor profile that can complement various occasions.
- Enjoy hot on a cool morning.

To prepare, heat fresh, cold water to just below boiling. Place one tea bag or one teaspoon of loose tea per cup into your mug or teapot.
