This tea is DELICIOUS! I think it could definitely be considered as a dessert tea. Reminds me of eating strawberries with fresh (liquid) cream. It is a very relaxing tea. I am drinking it for breakfast and it seems to fit perfectly. The strawberry taste is slightly artificial but is not disappointing at all. The liquid feels thick, like drinking real cream. I did not need to add any sweetener, but I think I could get away with putting some in next time. I definitley can see if you steep it for too long the strawberry taste would get bitter. Pleasantly surprised by this one.

Bio

I am a lifetime tea lover.

I did foray into the world of coffee for a period of time, but I returned to my true love. I still, however, enjoy a good cup of java.

My all time favorite tea is Earl Grey, which I drink every morning, the stronger the bergamot the better. I definitely prefer natural oil of bergamot to artificial flavouring.

I mostly like black and dark oolong teas. My current favs are Fujian blacks, Keemun and Assams, and Wuyi oolongs. I gravitate towards anything with lychee in it. I also drink a lot of herbal blends but am wary of hibiscus. I do not favour mate, or pu’erh tea, although I have found a few blends that I like. (I so badly want to like straight pu’erh tea but it all tastes gross to me. I keep trying though). Rooibos, green and white teas fall somewhere in the middle. I find myself gravitating towards heavily roasted oolongs and teas from Paris/France based companies.

I love iced teas and cold brews.

My current tea goal is to make the perfect cup of chai from scratch – almost there…I think.

I am in love with the whole experience of tea.
