Substitute for Teavana's Strawberry Slender

One of my favorite teas is Teavana’s Strawberry Slender Puerh, but when I went to buy some a couple of weeks ago I found out that they are completely sold out! Does anyone have any recommendations for a proper substitute for this tea? Even if it’s only similar, I would love to have some to try. Thanks!

Teavivre’s flavored ripe puerh mini tou, these are 10x better quality and cheaper as well.

Lupica has a chocolate strawberry puerh that is far superior to the Teavana blend. Teavana never did get puerh right. They were low quality tea. Try the Lupica one it is really good. I have bought it twice.

Do you like hazelnut? I drink a strawberry hazelnut pu-erh that I find divine. To me it’s like drinking Nutella with a sweet, strawberry finish. It’s called Strawberry Dawn and made by Thunder Mountain Teas. Here is some info on it:

Thanks so much for your recommendations, everyone! I think what I love so much about the Strawberry Slender is the strawberry flavor, not the puerh. In fact, it doesn’t taste at all like puerh to me. I love it more as a strawberry black tea so that’s what I’m trying to find as a substitute. I will add each of your recommendations to my list to try and even if they aren’t an exact match I may still come to love them on their own. I appreciate you guys responding!

Its not hard to find freeze dried strawberries on amazon and just add them to a higher quality puerh or black tea.

Oh that is such a great idea! I hadn’t thought of that. I actually have some at home so I’m going to give it a go.

I have not personally tried this tea, but my friend who streams on Twitch lives in the city that boasts this tea shop, which has a strawberry pu-erh. They sell by-the-ounce, so it’s possible to get just a single ounce to try it out. It’s just pu-erh with strawberries! They also have a strawberry chocolate black tea and a strawberry kiwi lemon black tea.
