The Blue Eyes Herbal Tea blend from English Tea Store has a hint of caramel to give this fruit tea a sweet almost candy-like flavor. The delicious blend of caramel and fruit medley flavors combined with the natural flavors and tartness of the various dried fruits create a summertime cooler or a wintertime summer reminder.
Frank Sinatra - old Blue Eyes himself was the inspiration for this fruit blend. The fruit blend has a mysterious character that tends to be sweet. The visual appearance is enticing because of the cornflower petals and the highly visual fruit pieces. Blue Eyes is best enjoyed in the mid afternoon during a break from hectic activity or vigorous workout or after an evening meal - the flavor profile encourages a relaxing moment.
