AmazonV drank Sassy Strawberry by Not Just Tea

Steep Information:
Amount: 4 tsp
Additives: none
Water: 2 zarafina cups
Tool: Zarafina herbal – loose – strong
Served: Hot

Tasting Notes:
Dry Leaf Smell:
Steeped Tea Smell: strawberry, citrus, fruity, floral
Flavor: strawberry, hibiscus
Body: Full
Aftertaste: zesty (MilitiaJim), papaya
Liquor: translucent blood orange or dark pink

Sample I found out about on Steepster. I placed my sample order on 3/16 and paid through PayPal. It ended up costing $2.80. 3/21 I received notice it was being shipped. It arrived today, 3/23, and was promptly had for dessert after dinner. It came with a nice pamphlet about their specialty tea blends and a hand written note on the bottom of my receipt.

Post-Steep Additives: 1 tsp German rock sugar, sweeter, softens the hibiscus but not much else.

I think this would taste good as a sweetened iced tea as well.

Resteep: was amazingly just as good as the first go!

How do you go about getting samples? Anything that has strawberry and hibiscus is something that I’d like to try.

however shipping was 2.80 to me, but it was a 4-6 tsp sample so the same if not more than i’d usually pay 2-3 $ for anyway

Bio

I love caffeine! I prefer tea to coffee. I prefer my flavors to be in your face, not subtle. I plan to use this blog to keep track of the teas I have tried.

I get my daily dose of caffeine from Starbucks (Grande soy no water chai latte).
