  • Wow, people love blueberries - and have done for a long time too. Check out this 1897 newspaper article from the Yarmouth Daily News in Nova Scotia Canada's blueberry capital. One of the blueberry wagons that are so conspicuous at the Yarmouth Steamship Company's wharf broke down on Water Street this morning while heavily laden with fruit which was quickly strewn about the street. The load was transferred to another wagon but not before the small boys had succeeded in having a glorious feast.

    These days in our world of chocolate bars and junk food while blueberries aren't likely to create a stampede of hungry children they are still one of the best-loved fruits around. And for good reason too. The tiny blue fruit is marvelously sweet and incredibly good for you. In fact in addition to being chock full of antioxidants a recent Japanese study showed that blueberries may even give carrots a run for their money in the eye department due to a compound called anthocyanin in the fruit's blue pigment.

    Well we've taken this beloved fruit and used it to create something as delicious and healthy as the berry itself. Blending the goodness of fresh blueberries with a white Pai mu tan from Fujian this tea heralds sweet luscious notes of berry floating over the jammy character of the base tea - absolutely glorious. (Like most fruit flavored teas Blueberry White is fantastic served piping hot or over ice!)

    While preparing by the cup, White teas can be used repeatedly up to 3 times. Place 1tsp of White tea into an infuser. Pour boiling water over tea and let steep 3-7mins according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Sugar can be added to taste. Adding milk is not recommended.


    Brewing Cold

    It is not customary to make iced tea from white tea, nevertheless if you wish to do so we would recommend the following method: Place 1 generous teaspoon of loose tea into a cup/ teapot for each serving required. Bring water to a boil and pour boiling water over the tea. Steep for 5 mins. Add hot tea to a 12oz / 375ml glass filled with ice, straining the tea (use larger pitcher if preparing multiple servings). Sweeten by adding sugar to taste.
