I’m not a huge fan of fruity teas, but I think strawberry is just a happy fruit for me. It’s kind of hard for me not to love it.
When I opened my pouch, I was blasted in the nose with the friendly scent of strawberry, and a gorgeous half-inch piece of freeze-dried strawberry lay on top. Mmmm…….
I decided to make an attempt to follow the brewing instructions, so I dropped the tea ball in at 165 degrees Fahrenheit. I think it’s a lost cause for me to attempt a proper steep time, though. I’m definitely getting clear notes of both strawberry and cake, although the cake tends to linger in the background for a bit while the strawberry dances up front. It steps out for the finish, though – buttery white or yellow cake that’s kind of spongy but melts a bit on your tongue with the strawberries and cream.
Speaking of cream, this one probably would taste great with milk and sugar. Maybe even with just milk. That would probably take it to dessert heights. I wish I were in the habit of doing that more often again. I never really think about it until I’m idly sipping my tea and am too lazy to get up again to put milk in it.
So, I think I might order a larger packet of this to come with my next subscription.
