Strawberry jam! with a little tartness. Yummm!! and it doesn’t hide the black either. Sadly, the second steep did not hold up.
I tried this without milk, so I’ll refrain from rating til I have.
Oh and the staff at Pippins? lovely!

Oh yes this is good. This is very good! Had this with milk and sugar today. Love it. love love love it.
Still jammy and tart/sweet, in the background. A little astringent as well, next time I’ll cut the temp a bit. The strawberry is rather distinct as well, which I was hoping for. Not as strong as it could be but sugar assisted with that.
Oh and it has some kick! wow, was it ever strong. My heartbeat was doing a waltz as I cleaned house. or maybe that was because I was listening to dance music…

Bleh. This does not go well with honey and milk. Note. To. Self.
It was all I had available, the sugar was all packed away and the bee nectar was right there! Sighs.
Live n Learn. On to the next cuppa :)

This is a lovely tea. I’m 99% sure it’s from indigobloom since only her tasting notes are here on steepster :) I’ve got about another 10 samples left from her and kittena plus another 5 or so from azzrian and then i’ll be down to pretty much just my tea. BUT on the plus side, that means i’ll be good to start paring down my cupboard and ordering new teas! haha!

But anyway, on with this tea. This is a really nice strawberry tea. I really enjoy black teas so it’s nice to see the strawberry paired with this instead of a green tea :) I’d give this one another shot for sure!
