Strawberry Snow Creme

My first tea from the 12 HoliDays collection! I picked the order that I’m going to drink them according to what I “thought” would be my favorite. I have to say I was pretty disappointed in this tea.

The dry leaves smell of heavenly strawberry and cream. After steeping the liquid smells identical to the dry leaves. The color is a nice dark pink color.

Unfortunately that is where the excitement ends. The tea tastes completely of the hibiscus. There is a slight taste of strawberry afterward, but not enough to really say there’s strawberry in there. I also found it extremely tart. I don’t mind hibiscus tea, but this one was advertised as strawberry so I think that should be the first note I detect.

Too bad, this tea could’ve been a hit! Possibly if they adjusted the blend to have less hibiscus it might work. I might mix this with an oolong or something or try iced as I have enough for about a 16oz cup left.

So, this will not be added to my I NEED IT list!

Hibiscus is the first ingredient and thus it is very strong. There is a slight taste of strawberry/creme but not enough to give it it’s name. Hibiscus snow creme would be a more accurate title. The dry smell is good but nothing to swoon over.

This was sooooo tart. Way too much hibiscus in it, tasted just like the jamaica juice at Maui Tacos. If only I knew how to make horchata then I could cut it half and half like I buy from there and it’d be awesome. I got no strawberry cream taste at all…
