Strawberry Cream

Backlogging
This was pretty good. Smelled delicious in the bag.
Tastes nice and light, mostly of light strawberry flavour. It is a little bit earthy from the rooibos but not overwhelmingly so. I am getting a little hint of the cream. I think a splash of milk will bring out the cream and sweetness a little more.

Sweet happy yum yum tea. Added rock sugar quite generously and with abandon, as well as a big splash of milk. Enjoying this before bed :)

Sweet and sticky, with a strawberry syrup smell and taste. It has that unique itchy quality of red rooibos that I’ve still yet to like. Overall a nice falvour, but not my favourite tea since the rooibos overpowers.

18 down – 482 to go!

So… apparently I am on a strawberry kick now.
I needed a non caffeinated night-time treat while at the mall with some friends… (how highschool do I sound… sheesh, I’m almost thirty now!) and tea was waist-line friendlier than yogen-fruz so thus I ended up at teaopia for the second time today.
Anyhow, this one is definitely on the bottom rung out of the three strawberry teas I’ve tried… however still a decent tea overall.
The berry flavour is lacking, but then I am also having trouble finding the rooibos. Hrm actually, I do get some tartness, which could be confusing the red part for me. Also, I added milk to this, because I wasn’t getting the “cream” part either.
Atleast I didn’t need to add any sugar. and it does taste creamier than I expected with the milk. Maybe if i tried it again, added a smidge of sugar and no milk… and sat down to properly savour this one it would make a stronger impression with me. I would give it a second chance, but not at my expense!

Interesting. The rooibos had very little scent in the bag. As soon as I poured water on it I got excited as I suddenly got a whiff of juicy, fresh-picked strawberries. I don’t know where that came from, though! Maybe wishful thinking. When I went in for a closer sniff, I really just smelled the rooibos.

I mostly just taste rooibos here. There is a hint of berry taste, but I’m not getting any of the “cream” as I’m drinking it. It’s okay, definitely not a re-order. Oh, Boxing Day sales.

I think the rooibos over powers all the other flavours in this tea. If you can get past the rooibos, you can taste a hit of strawberry & a slight amount of cream. I find even the dry notes smell mostly of rooibos as oppose to strawberry.

This isn’t quite what I was hoping for. However, when I read the Teaopia tea guide it made more sense. This does have a hint of strawberry, and when you take in the scent its wonderful. The name doesn’t make sense to me as there were no creamy notes described in the listed? With a little bit of milk and some honey/vanilla agave this tasted a lot better though.
