Strawberry from Lupicia

I am not going to say much about this one as I haven’t tried it by itself.

I opened the bag and sniffed and there was a strong, sweet scent of strawberry, but following was…mold? Yes, a smell like a big bag of moldy oranges. So I chickened out about serving this for tea time and instead mixed it half and half with Harney’s chocolate tea. The result was….weak chocolate flavor in a weak tasting tea that didn’t really have a remnant of strawberry left. I will have to try this again by itself to really know anything at all about it. I hope the weird smell doesn’t come through after steeping.

I believe, after reading zillions of tea reviews here, this is the first time I’ve seen the phrase “snot ring.” Bonus points for originality :)

Aaa ahhh! How did autocorrect change STRONG to snot ring??? LOL! I am weeping from laughing so hard!

I did wonder what the snot ring was when I first read it myself!

hahaha I was wondering about snot ring too! I thought maybe it had something to do with the mold smell. :D
