What does blue vervain taste like? There is no substitute for trying the specific tea you are buying. Its preparation, strength and your own preferences all affect how you experience the cup.
Start with the exact product
Products using similar plant names may not contain identical ingredients. Read the label before comparing descriptions online. K&M’s Blue Vervain Herbal Teabags give you a named product and preparation directions to start from.
Taste a properly prepared cup
Brew according to the packet. Use a clean mug, fresh water and a timer. Let the tea cool to a comfortable temperature, then try it plain. This gives you a clearer impression than adding sugar or mixing it with another tea immediately.
Notice more than the first sip
Think about the aroma, the first taste and the flavour left afterwards. Do you notice a stronger or lighter character than expected? Your own notes are useful, even if they do not match somebody else’s description. Avoid assuming that colour tells you how strong a tea will taste.
Compare one change at a time
If you want to try a different strength, follow the directions and change only one part of your method. Keep the same cup and water quantity where possible. The separate blue vervain product page introduces the practical preparation steps.
