Strawberries and Cream

Was quite underwhelmed by this one. The smell was amazing, but the taste did not match my expectations once brewed. Couldn’t place my finger on the problem, but thinking it might be the yoghurt drops. These work much better in something like DavidsTea’s southern belle than this one. Won’t repurchase.

Not sure how I feel about this tea. It smells AMAZING but tastes mediocre. I was expecting a really creamy-tasting tea, but in reality it’s very tart. In the store I was tossing up between fruitalicious and strawberries and cream. There was a free taster for fruitalicious, and I thought it tasted really nice, but the girl told me strawberries and cream was ‘creamier’ tasting, so I decided to give it a go. I wish I had purchased fruitalicious now…. this tea is way too tart for my liking.

Strawberries and Cream is a sweet tasting fruit tissane. It tastes of strawberry (there really is no cream taste to it) and by itself is not overpowering or sickly sweet, instead it has a light almost refreshing taste. It is closer to a soda drink than a herbal tea as it has no lingering after taste.

It makes a desert in itself if had warm, but is really best enjoyed icey-cold – it is satisfying, healthy and deliciously refreshing. If making as an ice-tea you should leave to infuse for a minimum of 30 minutes preferably overnight in fridge. It is well complemented by T2 Turkish Apple (dissolve in boiling water) with strawberries and cream to infuse, this is a really lovely ice-tea.

the smell of this tea is to die for! if i could, i would eat it!
it just didn’t work very well as a drink for me though. but worth giving it a go!

I received this as a gift but unfortunately found it difficult to finish the box… Although it smells lovely, the artificial strawberry taste is too reminiscent of the horrible cheap pink lip gloss I remember from my childhood.

I’d herad good things about this tea from friends, so I decided to try it.
It smelt and looked abseloutely wonderful, but the taste wasn’t so great. I found it to be a little sickly, even though I didn’t add any sweeteners… I’ve made one pot of it, and probably won’t be making another. ):
