This is a new formulation which improves on the first by adding peppermint, stevia, and natural blueberry flavor. The mint adds a wonderful lifting effect and the hint of stevia is there to boost the hint of blueberry.
Flavor Profile: earthy, fruity, minty
Blend Notes: I was inspired to make this blend by a popular video game and TV show. In the story, humans start becoming infected by the Cordyceps fungus which puts them into a zombie-like existence. Cordyceps is a real parasitic fungus that can infect insects and take control of their bodies. In reality, it can’t actually infect humans like that and actually has been used beneficially for centuries in China. When it came to creating a tea blend around cordyceps, I wanted to create something that told a story so I focused on the concept of “what if we lived in this post-cordyceps infected world and wanted to create a foraged tea blend?”. I built the blend around things that people could find foraging in North America. The ingredients are:Cordyceps, Yaupon, Blackberry Leaf, Peppermint, Dandelion, Juniper Berry, Slippery Elm, Yarrow flower, Elder Flower, Stevia, Corn Silk, and Natural blueberry flavor. Typically I want to make tea blends that are visually appealing, but with this I had fun trying to make it look a bit creepy or off-putting. The cordyceps is weird on it's own but I specifically added the corn silk to give it a slightly hairy/fuzzy look.
