Decaf Strawberry

I had forgotten that this was in the cabinet!!! I needed something to warm me up, and this is doing the trick. (I know it’s not as cold here in Florida as it is in some other places, but I am not used to this weather!)

Nice summery strawberries and black tea. What’s not to like?

so i had to try decaf and i wanted one that i had the normal version for and my sister got me this for Christmas :)

the color brewed up a bit different but not too much. its very good i can almost not tell the difference :) it isnt as sweet as the normal strawberry black i would consider buying this in a larger container!

A decaf version of one of my favorite Adagio teas? Yes, please. I didn’t notice any significant difference between the pot I made this evening (in the TriniTEA, which I’ve just recently cleaned up and put out for use now that I’ve replaced the broken warming pot… yay!) and every cup I’ve made of the non-decaf version.

This is a GREAT fruit tea. It smells like real strawberries, tastes like a delicious tea with just the right amount of strawberry goodness and zero acidity. Don’t steep it too long or you’ll lose that perfect strawberry flavor (I think I’ll actually do 3 minutes next time… tonight pot was flirting with a tiny edge of bitterness and I like it light), and this is also a great tea to put over ice because of its clean Ceylon base. This is a tea that I recommend often and also give as a gift. :)

This was my evening cup last night. This one is always good with a little sweetener. Definitely one of my favorite decaf varieties.

This is a good tea, but steeped a bit weirdly. After 3 minutes, when I looked in the cup, all the tea was settled in the bottom and water sat on top, filling 2/3 of the cup. With a stir and a few extra seconds of steeping, it looked like a normal cup of tea.

I’m enjoying it, but after reading the other tasting notes, I want to take it home and try it with soy milk and sugar!

I didn’t think I liked fruity teas (with the exception of lemon and honey during a cold) but this tea has converted me. It smells strong, like strawberry candy. So I expected an equally artificial taste. Instead, it tastes like a fresh strawberry. This tea is divine. The black tea base isn’t anything special, in fact, it’s kind of twiggy. But I’ve been looking for a decaffeinated tea that tastes good and this is it. It tastes nice plain, but adding milk and a little bit of sugar sends it into an over the top heavenly crazy place. I’ll be going back for this one again and again. I made a huge Adagio order and this is the only tea that I keep repeating.

Brad – good, not great. Rating: 60

Mixed this 50-50 with Cream black tea from Adagio. Tasted like strawberries and cream, or maybe peaches and cream—but definitely delicious!

I drink this with agave nectar and cream. A lovely before bedtime treat.
