Sassy Strawberry’s Story

Sassy Strawberry was my first tea blend and hands-down my best selling tea. Whether hot or cold, the rich strawberry, mango taste is hard to resist. During our pop-up shops, we sample this tea and people always want to know my secret for brewing this tea. OK – I’m going to share it with you. Enjoy

Jenny’s Secret for Brewing Sassy Strawberry Samples

- Place 2 oz of tea in a large stock pot
- Add 2.5 quarts of water
- Turn on the stove to high and let tea roll boil
- Let tea “cook” for 10-15 minutes (this is the secret)
- Strain out tea with spagetti strainer
- While still in the spagetti strainer, press tea with the back of a spoon to get all the fruit juice out of the tea
- Add honey to taste

Sample I found out about on Steepster. I placed my sample order on 3/16 and paid through PayPal. It ended up costing $2.80. 3/21 I received notice it was being shipped. It arrived today, 3/23, and was promptly had for dessert after dinner. It came with a nice pamphlet about their specialty tea blends and a hand written note on the bottom of my receipt.

Post-Steep Additives: 1 tsp German rock sugar, sweeter, softens the hibiscus but not much else.

I think this would taste good as a sweetened iced tea as well.

Resteep: was amazingly just as good as the first go!

This herbal infusion was a lovely pink color in the cup. I tried it first without sweeteners and it was slightly astringent and rough but with a spoonful of honey the flavor smoothed out and the tartness of the hibiscus was brought to the fore.

Fruit punch is a good comparison, although without any additions it’s a very tart kind of fruit punch flavor. And like fruit punch, the taste is extremely simple: strawberries and… really, just strawberries. A tasty enough but ultimately not unique choice for fans of tisanes that are predominately dried fruit.
