#Purplefection % | Co. | Flavor ----|-----|---------------------- 4 | FW | Blueberry 5 | GL | Cherry 5 | LB | Cherry Blossom Tea 1 | INW | Elderflower

So, first off, about the name: I know, the lack of INW ~~Purple~~Grape may make the name seem odd. However, red popsicles are cherry. Add blue(berry) to red, and what's the result? Yeah, purple.

So, backstory: I started out wanting to pair INW Elderflower with a cherry blossom, ended up going with the LB CBT. But it was just not cherry enough. So I tried various cherry flavors before settling on GL cherry. It was nice, but something was lacking. One day as I was vaping and trying to identify what was needed, my daughter happened to notice the scent in the air and said "Smells nice. You need to add blueberry." And after thinking about it, I couldn't see a reason not to try just that. Tried GL Wild Blueberry, TFA Blueberry Extra, RFSC Blueberry, and FW Blueberry (and another ISTR but can't find the notes about) in different batches. Also tried using my standard floral duo (CAP Hibiscus and TFA Honeysuckle) in another branch, and then that branch got various blueberry flavors. But while I do have one variant from that branch that I'm very fond of, I like this version ever so slightly more. The florals and the candyish fruit blend just work together after they get a steep.

Wow, now that you mention it, regardless of what else you mix it with, Blueberry + LB Cherry Blossom Tea does sound like a terrific combination. At least, it tastes that way in my head. You should have your daughter assess more room notes.

It's not the strongest flavor, but I like it. I'm trying to avoid using it too much now, just because of the relative few who have it.
