Blueberry Black Tea

While you sit back and enjoy a cup of this fabulous organic tea we thought we'd share a few random facts about one of the world's smaller fruits, the Wild Blueberry. To start with, works thou believe that the wild blueberry bush is thought by some botanists to trace its ancestry back o the Garden of Eden? It's true. Or, that the scientific name for blueberries, Vacciium, comes from the Latin word for cow? Also true – although there is no concrete explanation for this beyond the notion that perhaps ancient cows knew the tiny little berries made for better eating than plain old grass. It's possible – other animals lie them. It is know for example that wild bears will travel for miles on an empty stomach to find berry patches, and will eat almost nothing else when they are in season. Blueberries were a beloved fruit of Ronald Reagan and finally, July is national Blueberry month in the US while August is blueberry month in British Columbia. It's a lot to remember for such a little berry. But then again, this is one little berry that packs a lot of flavor. In fact, when you bite into a fresh one, it's almost hard to believe how flavorful they actually are. The flavor is dense, sweet on the tongue and essentially bursting with tannic juiciness. We've done our utmost to capture the flavor of the fresh wild berries by blending an all-natural flavoring with a top quality organic Ceylon tea. If you brew a pot, it's a fact that you're going to love it. It's also a fact that you're going to end up pouring another cup. It's also a fact…ok…we've said our peace.
