Blueberries are lovely. I don’t care if they’re a superfood or not because they are fantastic eaten raw and they’re fantastic in a muffin. In fact, they’re fantastic with everything and I’d eat them every day if I could.

Which makes it all the more astonishing that Birt & Tang’s Blueberry Herbal Tea is so breathtakingly nasty. What do they do to make the wonderfully sweet & delicate flavour of the blueberry disappear to the extent that it becomes utter skank?

If ever you’re tempted, as I was, just don’t…

(I must stress that other Birt & Tang’s herbal teas may be very nice, but I personally don’t know because I’ve never got past this one…)
