Another tea of the afternoon….. (SRP #4)
This is a sample from a swap with Mercuryhime. I know you suggested cold brewing this, but I have need of warm tea…..
The tea base looks very much like a normal Bai Mu Dan. The strawberry flavoring is light. I am not sure I read much more than strawberry flavored white tea. The overall taste is refreshing. And with a little sweetener, the strawberry really shines. Definitely a good, light tasting cuppa. Perfect for late afternoon.
I can’t comment on what the dry leaves smell like because this tea was influenced by the ones it was stored with. But the leaves themselves look great! Classic, green Bai Mu Dan leaves. I’ve had a couple strawberry-flavored green teas recently, so I’m looking forward to a white tea version.
The brewed aroma is light strawberry syrup. The taste is mostly lovely Bai Mu Dan with a light, sweet, strawberry flavor at the end of the sip. I don’t usually like flavored whites, but this is pretty darn good!
I have to say that I think I understand the oddity Mercuryhime describes when this tea is hot. The strawberry flavor is different and not what I expected. I don’t want to say artificial because that has a negative connotation. But it definitely doesn’t taste like biting into a ripe strawberry. The only way I can think to describe it is “syrup.” It tastes syrup-y.
Syrup or not, this tea is yum! What a nice surprise from a box full of goodies! I just might have to add this to my next tea order. Thanks to Mercuryhime for sending me this sample! You’ve introduced me to a great new tea vendor!
This is a really delicious blend – I like how the strawberry flavor and the white tea work together. It tastes fresh and sweet with just a hint of tartness from the strawberry. Lovely!
Dry – the leaves smelled like strawberries with a bit of stingy-ness to it almost like Adagio’s Cucumber! Ek! BUT…once infused the aroma was wonderful and VERY Strawberry!
This is a lovely flavored white…juicy strawberry and white tea! YUM!
An okay tea. I think my problem is expectation. I have ideas about how a tea is going to taste before I taste it. Sometimes, I am disappointed. This dry tea smelled strongly of strawberries. Like strawberry candy. Which is awesome. THen, as soon as the hot water hit the leaves, the smelled changed to something toasty and hay-ish. What happened to the strawberry candy? The strawberry flavor is light and a bit tart. I actually think it tastes a bit funky. The flavors of the tea and the strawberry don’t mix well, but it’s still ok. I think it would be better iced. Don’t expect it to taste as juicy and fruity as it smells and you’ll be ok.
