Favorite non-caffeinated tea |
10/1/2020 |
| Ok, maybe it’s a tie between this and the Caramel Walnut. ;->. This is a great tasting tea that I’ve been getting with every order now. I’ve been trying to drink some non-black tea in the evenings mostly due to the diuretic effect of caffeine...lol. I’m always so sad when I run out.
I use close to a tablespoon for a mug and steep it for at least 5 minutes. I’ve found that green rooibos can take a lot of steeping and not taste funky, like the red sometimes does. I was thrilled to find that S&V had so many green rooibos dessert teas! I’ve tried most and haven’t found one I don’t like. It all depends on what I’m in the mood for. |

Best Blueberry Tea |
7/4/2020 |
| This tea is another one that I've purchased more than once. It tastes like blueberry muffins. It lasts for two steeps. It has wonderful pastry flavors as well as a nice, authentic blueberry. |

| Super blueberry and deliciously sweet, but not too sweet tea. This tea tastes decadent. |

Super Blueberry |
1/10/2020 |
| This dessert tea is very blueberry forward and light on the cinnamon and rooibos. I think the light cinnamon flavor keeps the tea well balanced but I do wish the rooibos would be a little more prominent. If you're looking for a super fruity tea, this will surely fit the bill. |

Not my cup of tea |
10/31/2019 |
| I bought a tin of this, and have tried it several times since. Each time, I end up throwing most of the cup of tea away. For me, it is simply just too sweet, and the blueberry flavor tastes artificial (even though I can see the dried blueberries in the tea). So far, of all the teas I've purchased, I've liked this one the least. |

| This is the best tea! It has to be my favorite. I don't like coffee so I drink hot tea in the mornings on the way to work instead. The Blueberry Cinnamon Crumble Rooibos is so rich and full of flavor. It tastes just like the dessert. The blueberry and the cinnamon crumble are individually palatable. Though I drink it without sweetener, it has a natural sweetness as if I had added sugar. And OMG it leaves my car smelling delicious. |

New Blueberry to Love |
5/14/2019 |
| When Teavana went out of business and took "Blueberry Bliss" with them, there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth (at least in my home). SV has crafted a tea here that has all the wonderful, strong notes of blueberry (as in "Blueberry Bliss") but with an undercurrent of cinnamon. It quite rightly teases your brain into thinking it's tasting an actual blueberry crumble. Makes a lovely iced tea for warm, summer evenings. |

Fantastic! |

| As of this writing, the tea is sold out on the website. It's not hard to see why! The blueberry flavor is delicate, but not hidden by the nice spice blend. It's not too sweet, and not too spicy. I can't wait to try this again! |

This might have knocked out Winter Wonderland for my go-to rooibos |
12/8/2018 |
| Oh my gosh, I LOVE this tea. I have always been a fan of S&V's flavored rooibos... but this one knocks it out of the park. It reminds me a bit of Rishi's Blueberry Rooibos, but with more of a pastry note to it. The blueberry note though is so fresh and strong, that my whole kitchen smells like I am baking a blueberry tart when I am brewing this tea! |

Very nice! |

| I normally stay away from rooibos since I don't like the taste, but the sample I got smelled way too good not to try. Maybe it's only red rooibos I don't like, since this didn't have that objectionable taste. It really is like S&V somehow liquefied a blueberry muffin. |

Like drinking a muffin! |

| I normally shy away from teas that taste like desserts as they sometimes remind me of eating a candle. This though is a rare and beautiful deight. It tastes like a warm cinnamon blueberry muffin or scone. It's absolutely delicious and I adore that it's herbal. |

An amazing amount of accurate flavor here! |
10/4/2018 |
| This was a free sample from S&V which was super awesome because it was wavering in my cart for a while there. This blend is extremely unique. Such an odd blend of ingredients: Green Rooibos, currants, beetroot, organic cinnamon, sweet blackberry leaves, flavoring, organic lemongrass and malva flowers. But the resulting brew actually tastes as it should. A lovely flavor of blueberry cinnamon crumble with an aftertaste that just blooms... which I don't think I've ever described a tea as blooming before. I feel like Violet Beauregarde chewing that gum. A teaspoon and a half for a mug really results in the perfect flavor that isn't too sweet but has a really great balance of elements that should be here. Hints of cinnamon. Not sure how there is blueberry flavor... what I thought were tiny blueberries in the blend are actually currants. The beetroot gives the mug a rich red color (and it ain't hibiscus so I'm happy!) I thought the lemongrass and blackberry leaves might make the flavor taste odd, but they don't. And the blue flowers really seem to go with the blend. The second steep has a ridiculous amount of flavor. Where does that flavor even come from? I'm very impressed with S&V as usual!
Steep #1 // 1 1/2 teaspoons for a full mug// 15 minutes after boiling // 2 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 4 minute steep |

New favorite dessert tea |
9/29/2018 |
| After becoming hooked on Tazo's Baked Cinnamon Apple tea, I've been trying to find a more cost-effective loose leaf tea. This is my new favorite dessert tea and I'm so happy I found Simpson & Vail! I will be trying all of their other caffeine-free versions now. |

So good! |

| I love this tea. I bought a sample when it first came out and drank it practically every day. It's got a really nice flavor and I love that it's caffeine free. |

| Blueberry Cinnamon Crumble Rooibos is an excellent herbal tea, whether enjoyed either hot or cold. I'm sure it would be an amazing air freshener, also, with it's fun, fruity, bakery fragrance. |

So tasty |
8/28/2018 |
| Quite a lovely tea. Unexpectedly I liked this tea. Thought prior to trying that it may taste artificial. Surprisingly it did not. I can taste a hint of Cinnamon. A bit of sweetness. And a light but consistent blueberry flavor. I like this very much. |

Blueberry Cinnamon Crumble |
8/7/2018 |
| YUM!!!! This tea makes my taste buds sing! It's like drinking "summer in a cup" with it's lovely blueberry taste and just a hint of cinnamon crumble to tickle your tongue. I shared this with 2 friends who just adored it! Quite by mistake I let my cup get cold and not wanting to waste it I drank it only to discover I really enjoyed the tea room temp/cold. I'm certain this would make a fabulous iced tea! Needless to say it is my new favorite! |

A fruity desert |
7/27/2018 |
| This tea smells so good in the bag! Very reminiscent of a blueberry muffin. When steeped I find the prominent notes are blueberry and lemongrass. It has a sweet and slightly tart taste that is different from most desert tea's I've had. It's a refreshing change from the usual! |

Blueberry cinnamon Crumble |
7/26/2018 |
| I was so excited to try this tea. I love the other green rooibos dessert teas. You can really smell the blueberry when you open the bag. The taste is a fruity not artificial blueberry. I don’t get any cinnamon flavor unfortunately. All I taste is the blueberry and what I think is lemongrass? It’s a good tea but not what I expected given the name. |
