Great Addition
It is one of my top 5 flavors. Nice blueberry taste that is not overly sweet. They have yet to have a bad flavor.

Common questions
Can I use this for loaded teas?
Yes. Green tea powder is a standard base for homemade loaded teas because it dissolves in cold water and the strength is set by the spoonful, so you control both the tea flavor and the caffeine in each drink — something tea bags and pre-mixed concentrates do not allow. Recipes are in the Loaded Tea Zone.
What is the difference between the blueberry green and blueberry black tea?
The green version is lightly bittersweet green tea with earthy blueberry character. The black version is light-bodied black tea with subtle fruity blueberry. Both are unsweetened with the same caffeine per serving.
Is blueberry green tea sweet?
Not on its own. There is no added sugar, so the blueberry reads as fruit flavor rather than sweetness. Add honey or sugar to taste.
How much caffeine is in a serving?
Approximately 35 mg per 1/4 teaspoon, the same as Waka's unflavored green and black instant teas.
How do I make blueberry iced tea?
Dissolve in a little hot water first, then top with cold water and ice for the cleanest result. If mixing straight into cold water, stir vigorously or use a frother.
Pour ¼ - ½ tsp of tea powder into a cup. For hot tea, add 8-10 fl oz of hot water, stir and enjoy. For iced tea, add 2 fl oz of hot water and stir. Top with 6-8 fl oz of cold water, add ice and enjoy. Visit our How to Brew page to learn more.
Store in a cool, dry place.

No taste
Can't taste the tea flavor and yes I followed the water instructions. Waste of money!
