Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble

mmmmmm just finished watching a Kawarthan Sunset of brilliant blazes of orange…and savoured the moment with a tall mug of my precious commodity of StrawRubarb Crumble….yes, life can be this sweet :) ….

I love the smell of this tea. The first time I opened the bag I felt like just dumping the leaves into my mouth and chowing down because it smelled like a bag of the dessert itself. I rushed home from work that night to brew and . . . was mildly disappointed. Brewed as is, I find the tea is slightly lacking as other reviewers have said.

Blended however with just a hint of another stronger berry tea? This tea sparkles and shines. I used a “Very Berry” blend I got from McNulty’s in NYC, with just a third of a teaspoon, along with half a teaspoon of sugar after steeping.

Man was I surprised to discover that now it tasted exactly how it smelled, crumble and all. And as it cooled, the flavour just kept getting better. Now I’m eager for my next cup!

I bought this tea online as part of the halloween “back from the dead” promo – with this tea being available online only.

As I was pouring it into the tin… damn… smells just like crumble – fruity, cinnamonly.. I can almost smell the buttery chunks of carbs I can’t eat.

mmmm, first time to try this tea, it steeped to a pretty peach colour with a mild cinnamon smell to it. It’s a very nice white tea, with a strawberry taste, with a hit of tart at the end. This steeping I didn’t get much of a spice/cinnamon taste to it, but mmm.. very good. I think I’ll need to experiment with steeping times to find the best flavour.

Reminds me a bit of the “Mom’s Apple Pie” tea but with berry tartness.

White tea is my favourite tea, so of course I would like this one! I am glad it got to come back to DTs for a little bit so I could try it. I agree that the flavour is less intense than the flavour but when the flavour is so good, does it really matter!
I liked how the flavours all work together in this tea instead of one flavour overpowering everything.
I was surprised that it didn’t steep pink though!

Really enjoyed this one. I bought it online since I read something about it on Facebook and it sounded interesting. I am just sorry that I likely won’t be able to get it again. It smells just like the name. The taste isn’t as much like it but it will make a great substitute. I am doing WW and have found I have fewer sweet cravings since I have added in some of the dessert teas. I guess I am drinking my desserts now.

Another tea that I find to smell absolutely delicious, but am disappointed when I taste it. I tried to like it, I really did. But I just don’t. I find it doesn’t taste anything near to what it smells like, which is too bad.

Very light flavour, like most white teas. It smells like a bakery and if you enjoy DavidsTea Love Tea # 7 then I would recommend this. Delicious with brown sugar, as suggested!

Pretty realistic, but I have to be in the mood.

This tea is not bad if you enjoy fruity tea. I find that Hibiscus lowers blood pressure. So I have to stay away from it.
It is not something I would have again.

I steeped this starting at 80 degrees, left it for 6 minutes and there was a sweet scent, but when I tasted the tea it was rather bitter. I left it overnight in the fridge and came back to it in the morning and it was amazing cold. tasted exactly how Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble would without the bitterness of Rhubarb.

Did not think I would be a fan of this as I’m not a strawberry rhubarb fan, but it was actually suprisingly delicious and smelled amazing. Kind of had an apple cider thing going on.

I forgot about this tea while it was steeping and it steeped wayyyy too long. The flavor was mostly cinnamon at that point, usually if I steep it about 3 minutes I will get more of the strawberry and rhubarb flavor.

Yum! Quite strongly scented, but less intense flavour. You can certainly taste the crumble topping and strawberry, though I could use a little more rhubarb.

The only downside to this tea? I can’t get more!

Hummmm, yummy! I like this tea because it reminds me “forever nuts” with a little Strawberry flavor. Really enjoyable during a sunny day! :)

The smell is MORE awesome than the taste, but it’s a good tea anyway.

yumm!:)
