Strawberry Shortcake from DAVIDsTEA
73

This SO smells like a Kellogg’s Nutri Grain bar, it’s not even funny.

Steeped, the strawberry is tarter, and unsurprisingly, the liquor is murky due to the brittle overkill. And brittle overkill, is right. Much too sweet for my tastes.

When this is hot, the strawberry is so tart that it mimics hibiscus. But once this cools off, the hibiscus wannabe dies off and you’re left with a clear strawberry again.

The base is very weak. Granted I steeped this for not quite four minutes. Perhaps this would make a better cold brew? I should save the rest to try that out sometime.

Instead of brittle, this should have a cakey note. I demand strawberry shortcake, not strawberry brittle!

They should do what Della Terra did with pineapple upside down cake and substitute strawberry for the pineapple!

Oooh, I’ve read that it has the best cake note ever. I can’t wait for mine to get in the mail! But that’s totally what I was thinking, an sort of infused flavour and not chunks of candy.

Bio

Tea pretty much pwns my soul.

Other than tea, my other favourite things in life include music, essential oils, cosmetics, movies, and, well, knowledge, I guess. Knowledge is power.

I study languages, primarily Germanic languages, and to narrow that down even more, Scandinavian languages. Biology was (is still?) another passion of mine but something in me wanted to go down the linguistics route instead.

I like my tea black just like my metal.
