Strawberry-Kiwi

Tea Sipper sent this to me a while back and I temporarily misplaced it apparently! Oops!

I am just finishing a cup of this and it was a little puckery but it was the strawberry and kiwi that were puckery and not overly hibiscusy puckery if you know what I mean. It’s ok warm but think it would be better iced. Not too shabby!

Tea #16 from the ‘Here’s Hoping’ teabox.

Backlogging this from last night.

This was my before bed tea. A very nice, relaxing herbal with lots of flavor. The strawberry was the dominate, but there was enough kiwi to keep it from becoming an all strawberry tea (not that that would be a bad thing). I added some sugar to help highlight the fruit and hide the hibiscus, and I ended up with a really pleasant cup.

I’m kicking myself for not knowing about Element Tea earlier because I would have loved to have ordered from them. I think I have liked every tea I have tried from them out of the teabox, and they have some of the best herbals ever. Many thanks to Tea Sipper for allowing me to try these great teas that I otherwise would have missed all together!

What I like about this tea… there isn’t a strong hibiscus flavor! But the rest of the flavors aren’t too strong either, and this isn’t really a tea you can resteep (which I usually do with every tea!) The flavors sound like they would be great together (Strawberry, kiwi, apples, rose petals…) but I just wish it was a stronger flavor. I’ll have to put more in the infuser next time, not try to get a second cup out of it and go full flavor for the first cup.
