Bigelow Tea Wild Blueberry with Acai Herbal Tea (Pack of 6) is a premium, antioxidant-rich fruit tea bundle. Unlike the majority of Bigelow's herbal lineup which is completely caffeine-free, this specific blend is uniquely caffeinated, making it an excellent morning pick-me-up or afternoon energy booster for those who want the juicy taste of an herbal fruit tea rather than a traditional black or green tea.
What Comes in the Bundle?
- Quantity: You receive a bulk Pack of 6 boxes.
- Tea Bags Per Box: Each box contains 20 tea bags, giving the entire bundle a total yield of 120 tea bags.
- Signature Foil Packaging: Every single tea bag is individually sealed in Bigelow's airtight foil pouch to protect the delicate berry flavors and antioxidants from degrading due to air, light, and moisture.
Flavor Profile & Key Ingredients
This blend creates a bold, tart, and deeply refreshing "superfood" flavor profile by pairing robust dark berries with a caffeinated herbal base:
- Wild Blueberries & Acai Fruit: Real fruit pieces and natural flavors deliver the sweet, jammy notes of mountain-grown wild blueberries balanced by the deep, complex, and slightly cocoa-like tartness of exotic Brazilian acai berries.
- Green Honeybush: The secret to this blend. Honeybush is a South African herb related to rooibos that provides a smooth, naturally sweet, and slightly floral body, ensuring the tea doesn't taste overly sharp or puckery.
- Hibiscus & Rosehips: These botanicals give the tea a stunning, deep purple-red color and add a crisp, tongue-tingling tartness that mimics fresh fruit juice.
- The Caffeine Boost: While the specific source can vary (often utilized via natural tea extract or guarana), it is explicitly formulated to provide a clean energy lift, bridging the gap between a morning black tea and a flavorful herbal infusion.
Dietary & Quality Highlights
- Clean-Label Standards: Crafted with natural ingredients and entirely free from artificial colors, artificial flavors, and preservatives.
- Certifications: Certified Gluten-Free, Non-GMO Project Verified, and Kosher Parve.
- Zero Sugar & Calories: Despite its intense, dessert-like berry sweetness, it contains 0g of sugar and 0 calories per serving when enjoyed plain.
How to Prepare It (Hot or Iced)
Because fruit peels and hearty botanicals release their best flavors in high heat, proper brewing unlocks the full berry experience:
- For a Hot Mug: Pour 8 fluid ounces of rolling boiling water directly over 1 tea bag. Steep for 4 to 6 minutes. Letting it steep for the full 6 minutes will yield a much deeper purple color and a stronger berry punch.
- For a Refreshing Iced Berry Tea: This specific flavor makes an incredible iced beverage. Brew 4 to 5 tea bags in a quart of boiling water for 8 minutes. Let it cool completely, then serve over ice with a handful of fresh blueberries or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a crisp, caffeinated summer cooler.
