hi all.

i was out a coffee shop, because where i live the tea places aren't on every corner and cool coffee shops are more conveniently found(even though i abhor coffee) and they close earlier than the coffee shops and i'm a night owl, doing some work and enjoying the shared space and people there as one does.

a couple older than me sits next to me and strikes up a conversation. i see what they ordered being delivered to them, it's a teapot full of purple blue liquid. i immediately think i know what it is but instead of assuming i go ahead and say that looks so cool what did you order?

it infact was the butterfly pea flower tea, they then said they never had it before and just decided on a whim to order it.

it reminds me of the three different times and the three different stores i tried it, and each time it was the most blandest experience in my entire life. no offense to those that love it, i just know that it's for those that don't love it an acquired thing.

i decided to share my experience and say yeah you might not like it, i have had it a few different places and find it to be pretty bland, you're probably not going to taste much when you drink it. the wife said that's why she ordered some honey with it and i said that's probably a good move.

i see them then go to drink it and they agreed that it really didn't taste like much.

there are thousands of blends out there and hundreds of variations of teas..i'm no expert but i've had more than the regular fellow american and so sometimes when i'm out and about i can gauge my experience and sometimes have like this a premonition of what's about to happen. haha.

i wanted to share here because i think people who also love tea can relate to the experience of oh i know what's about to happen here when out and about with either people you know or people you just meet and sharing the experience of this amazing drink.
