Strawberry White (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
60

Aisling of tea’s recent slew of strawberry teas made me crave my own strawberry or raspberry tea, only to discover that this is the only pure flavor of those two that I have. So, even though its not my favorite, decided to make some of this for my after-supper lounge.

This tea is actually kind of growing on me. It’s faint and subtle and light, and the strawberry flavour just barely peeks through the white tea, which is actually the perfect balance for this tea. I even had a second steep of this, and enjoyed it even more. Upping my rating for this one…

Does anyone have suggestions for a nice DT raspberry tea, other than Raspberry Nectar?

Raspberry seems to be a flavour they haven’t mastered. Closest I can think of is Fantasy Island, but that isn’t a pure raspberry, or a strong one. I’m hoping for spring/summer we’ll get one!

Sadly, DT has no raspberry tea, as far as I remember. Raaspberry and blueberry are too flavours they haven’t really done well. : (

Afterthought: I do know they have raspberry nectar, but I don’t think it tastes like raspberry!)

Uniquity – You would THINK Raspberry Nectar would be raspberry-ish. I can’t even stomach the smell of it, though, so I never got around to tasting it.

Tina – Forgot about Fantasy Island! Too bad that one never won me over. And, thank you! I forgot that I could look foward to the season’s change. What says spring better than berries, hmm? And maybe if I send them a REALLY convincing letter…

I know we’re getting Pink Flamingo back, but I haven’t heard any other hints yet!
