Strawberry

Black Tea by Adagio Teas

Historians believe that the name ‘strawberry’ comes from an Old English tradition of placing straw on the ground around this fruit, preventing slugs and other insects from enjoying a free lunch. Once you try the delicious Strawberry Tea, you’re sure to see why they were so protective. Combining the succulent taste of sweet strawberries with bright Ceylon black tea, this is a treat you’ll keep for yourself!

another one of my favourites this one is amazing iced.

had a gigantic cup of this while doing my photography project. taking 36 pictures of the same thing is killing me lolz

i will be editing this post with my re-steep i plan on doing so stay tuned :) (i know i said i wouldn’t but check my gingerbread review and you will see why)
everything about this tea is amazing! b4 i head over to my parents tomarrow for our family christmas party i may try this shaken with ice! the smell of this tea alone is enough to get my mouth watering like crazy, only to realize it tastes almost the same as it smells!!
so im sitting here nursing some stitches and a bruised knuckle (darn snow shovel) and thought that strawberry would be perfect right now for the situation. i was right :) this tea never fails me if steeped right.
the color is a medium amber.

EDIT
re-steeped this and surprisingly enough it isnt bad, i re-steeped for 10 mins and theres no bitterness but i can tell its not the same, it lost some of its strawberry flavor and gained an extra sweetness. i enjoy this. :) maybe ill get brave enough to do a 3rd sometime soon.

i had to have a cup of this this afternoon. as always it did not disappoint! :) i dont have much to say other than i love this tea :p

i love this tea! its just so relaxing and makes me feel like im drinking candy :) almost like a guilty pleasure. i tried it re-steeped…well it isnt bad, just not strong enough for me, it reminds me of watered down strawberry bath water, i drank it…i just dont plan on doing it again.
i over steeped this about 2 days ago and wow did i regret that! this is a very touchy tea 5 min steeping not a second longer or it will taste like your drinking bitter apple spray (its a training aid for pets you spray things you dont want them chewing on…unfortunately ive sprayed it in my face and know what it tastes like) but if you get it right WOW. this is a tea i keep coming back to over and over again!
time to get the travel mug set up and get ready for work!

A big mug of this to start my Monday morning. I’m not too keen on black teas but I can tolerate this one because of the strawberry flavoring. Now that I think of it, most of the black teas I do drink have some flavor to them. I taste the strawberry more in the aftertaste which is fine. I let it steep for 5 minutes when I normally do 4, so it is slightly stronger than I like.

Hmmm, I’m almost out of this. Seems I drink it a lot

Needed a good ole flavored tea I could trust today. Nothing that I had to think too hard to enjoy since I am lacking brain activity today. I have decided in my next life I will not work with young human creatures for the sole reason that they seem to carry nasty germs around. And I always catch them. (As a side note, I do love my middle schoolers. I really do.)

So to comfort my poor immune system, I am consuming a large amount of strawberry tea and peanut butter cookies. The two of them actually compliment each other very well.

Got distracted helping a student and way oversteeped this. Nothing makes me more sad than bitter tea.

Trying to figure out why this came out bitter today. Used boiling water and steeped for 3 minutes like I always do. I’m thinking it has something to do with my cranky Monday mood.

Tried this at 3 minutes instead of 4 and I think I like it better that way!

Finally got more of this. A favorite flavored black tea. Brewing it for 4 minutes with boiling water turns out perfect for my tastes.

I am considering making this a staple in my tea cabinet,

Not bad. I overbrewed my first cup and it was very bitter, but my second attempt was much more successful. This is a tea that needs sweetening, but I do lightly sweeten most of my teas anyway. The strawberry flavor is decent, and doesn’t taste as artificial as many berry flavors tend to.

This is one of the teas that convinced me that black teas (unless prepaired with more milk and sugar than actual tea) are not for me. I though the drink was way too bitter, and just gross tasting. The rest of this tin will be going to my mom.

I really enjoy this tea at boiling for 4 – 4.5 minutes. Very flavorful, tastes like real strawberry and not gross flavoring. Highly recommend. :)

Enjoying my Monday with a favorite tea. :)

Steeped a big cup of this in the morning, sipped half of it hot and then put the rest over ice with lunch. :) TASTY!

Good morning! :) Starting off with one of my faves.
