Ceylon Tea with Strawberry from Dilmah
61

Thank you ToiToi, for this neat tea bag! Impressively vibrant strawberry start but a muddled astringent finish. Almost like a less exciting Marco Polo; it’s the red fruit notes and the strength of the black. The smell reminds me of the Strawberry Shortcake toys I got to play with as a kid. Strawberry is hard to pull off with tea but this succeeds moderately. I think Ceylon is a great choice for a base and potentially gives it some pointy fruitiness.

Edit- I forgot about my cup an hour ago and this is very good cold! It’s like the strawberry kiwi juice I was living off of at the end of last semester. The aftertaste is realistic citric strawberries! If it was summer and I had more than this tea bag it would be one of my picks for an easy and quick iced tea.

Mmmm! I love strawberry in tea in almost any configuration. Not sure I’ve seen Dilmah stuff locally—will have to watch more closely.

If you get the chance I would give this a try. I found it quite drinkable and I’m skeptical of tea bags and don’t like strawberry things whatsoever!

Bio

Tea is what gets me through being a professional procrastinator and an anthropology undergrad student (I’m better at one of those than the other).

I’ve only been exploring the world of tea for little over a year now so I’m still figuring out my preferences and steeping techniques! I can safely say I enjoy a good chai, fruity blends, creamy notes, white tea, and a nice Dragonwell, however. I either love or hate rooibos and chamomile makes me happy.

Besides tea, I like my books and TV series (usually sci-fi/fantasy), music, doodling, and skiing when I get the chance. I respect a good sense of humour and seasoned wisdom, two things I sorely lack. I also thoroughly enjoy birds. I’m a bit of a crazy bird person.

I don’t always respond in a timely fashion but if you see anything in my cupboards that you would like to try give me a shout!

Ratings (self-reminder):
90-100: Wow!
86-89: Great!
76-85: Good.
70-75: Ok.
60-69: Meh..
51-59: Not good.
34-50: Bad.
1-33: No words can describe how awful this is so I’ve resorted to numbers..
