People love blueberries and have done for a long time. In a 1897 newspaper article from the Yarmouth Daily News in Nova
Scotia, Canada’s blueberry capital claims, "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.
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!)
Hot tea brewing method: When preparing by the cup, this tea can be used repeatedly (à la chinoise)- about 3 times. The secret
is to use water that is about 180’F or 80’C. Place 1-2 teaspoons of leaves in your cup and let the tea steep for 3 minutes. Then
begin enjoying a cup of enchantment - do not remove the leaves from the cup. Once the water level is low - add more water, and
so on - until the tea flavor is exhausted. Milk or sugar will mask the delicate characters of this tea and are not recommended.
Look at the pattern of the leaves - they foretell life.
Iced tea brewing method: Place 6 teaspoons of tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water
over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the
leaves. Add ice and top up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb when preparing fresh
brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water.]
