Thank you Azzrian for this sample!! this was a great experience :)

When I saw it in the package, I got really excited about comparing it to the Strawberry pancake.
Surprisingly they are very different teas. This one is more floral. I felt as if it was a strawberry perfume scent and taste, whereas the pancake tea had a texture of cake in it somehow.
As it cooled though, I got some strong underlying jasmine notes. Eeeeeek, not my thing! even steeped at under three minutes, it was far too strong in the scent for my liking and I wasn’t able to finish the cup.
Oh well, it was fun trying it out! I really enjoyed the experience!! thanks again Azzrian :)

You are very welcome! I find I prefer this one iced more. Uggg I should have made note of that for you. Still I don’t know if it would have helped with the jasmine or not. Did I send enough for you to try iced?

oh yah, I can try it iced for sure!
I usually try a tea hot before I try it iced anyhow. I’m typically not an iced girl but strawberry green sounds great iced!

Let’s see… I’m a tea and workout fanatic, I work in HR, and most of my friends consider me to be an egg. White on the outside, Asian on the inside :)
-from philosophy to food, I love it all
Otherwise, what you see is what you get! I can be very straightforward and yet shy.

Also, I’ve started taking tea sommelier classes and it is an absolute blast! Well, so far I’ve only finished the first out of eight courses, but I am really looking forward to the next one.

Anyhow, if your curious as to how I rate things, this is how I work…

0-25
Like eating dirt, or some other unsanitary indelicacy that mentioning in my profile here would likely get me banned.
I don’t think I’ve found cause to banish a tea to the wasteland yet though so who knows what it’d inspire ;P

25-50
You know that expression “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater”? I imagine drinking that water would be terrible enough to warrant this rating!
I’d never make my enemy drink this, but perhaps I’d throw it at them. Good thing I don’t have any enemies!

50-70
This is “tea”?? I tried finishing the cup… but my body rejected it. There may be others who enjoy this tea, but it’s beyond me!

70-80
I tried liking it, and I can almost get there! I certainly don’t hate it, but something is holding me back. Allergies? Men in white suits? who knows… certainly not me!

80-90
Lovely tea! Not my all time fave but close. I likely wouldn’t repurchase, but may decide to based on many factors: price, accessibility, whether it fills a “tea gap”, medicinal applications, and how often I crave it.
Every once in awhile I find the sweet spot that bumps these up to 90+. Those are the days I need to buy a lotto ticket!

90-95
Sweet Camellia! this is realllly good tea! Don’t talk to me until I’ve finished my cup…

95-100
Tea of the gods. I would do anything to get my hands on more of this liquid gold!
