Strawberry Rhubarb

Another nice fruity green! only that is all I can really say about it.
Two good steeps and then the third lost flavour, and I can’t say there was anything specifically strawberry but I did get a hint of something unique, which could have been the rhubarb.
I doubt I’d buy this again but it was lovely nonetheless.

I adore how this tea smells dry. It’s so light and fruity and just utterly makes me long for spring. Once brewed there were definite scent notes of strawberries and fruit as I pulled out the infuser, but when I sniffed the leaves and the pot, I couldn’t figure out exactly where they were coming from since neither seemed to hold them.

The tea itself is a beautiful light yellow-green when brewed, and is a delicate flavour on first sips. As I continued through the cup I started to get the feeling in my mouth that I sometimes get with extremely perfumed teas, or ones with a lot of artificial flavourings. Overall a nice tea, but I’m not sure if I’ll restock.

In keeping with my overall opinion of Tealish’s flavoured senchas, this was nice. I was a bit underwhelmed on first sip, but then the subtle flavours grew on me. Sweet strawberry and more earthy rhubarb were both detectable, and blended really nicely with the green tea. I don’t know if it’s something I’d reach for often so I’m thinking I won’t buy any at this (over-inundated with tea) point, but I did enjoy it.

Cold steeped this, not impressed. It tasted bitter and like an ordinary green, I didn’t get any taste of strawberry or rhubarb at all. Sadness. It was alright, but I think I’ll save it for the wife, who likes it hot.

Mmmmm. As with most of Tealish’s fruit blends, I found that this left a slightly perfumey feel in my mouth, but overall it was a very yummy green blend. The strawberry is the strongest flavour, with occasional hints of watered-down rhubarb. The green is mild and works well with the strong flavour of the strawberry. Nice airy summer tea.
