Strawberry White

White Tea by Shanti Tea

This tea combines the soft flavour of white tea with a hint of strawberry. White tea is loaded with antioxidants and is also said to strengthen the circulatory and immune systems. A treat for nose and palette.

Story

Strawberries have grown wild for millennia in temperature regions throughout the world. They were highly prized by many ancient Romans. In the Middle Ages, they were prized again, more so for their medicinal qualities than delicious flavour. Today, the strawberry is the most popular type of berry fruit in the world. While there are more than 600 varieties of strawberries that differ in flavor, size and texture.

I don’t have a lot of time for a lengthy review right now and will revisit…but first thoughts on this was puckery and slightly sour type strawberry but then it smooths out a little. It’s alright but a little shocking at first. Ends ok, tho…will revisit very soon!

After spending a little bit more time with this one today I have found that it’s not bad…a little loose leaf goes a long way in this case. Less Loose Leaf means less hibiscus which I am convinced there is a nice share of that in here. Having said that…in moderation…this is quite good. I will say I LOVE the way this one smells and it reminds me of a strawberry chapstick I used to LOVE as a kid…the 80s RULE…I miss them when it comes to certain stuff like strawberry chapstick! I know there are other strawberry chapsticks out there but not like the one I specifically remember the aroma to, ya know!? Anyhow…upping my rating…

Thank you to TeaEqualsBliss for sending me some of this tea.

This is yummy. There is a bit more hibiscus in this than I would like there to be, but, it still works, because the tartness from the hibiscus really compliments the strawberry tones well. It also gives it a pretty red color!
