Strawberry & Pomegranate

This one needs sugar to bring out the flavors. I seem to end up with different flavor notes every time I make a cup, so it’s been difficult for me to craft a review. I usually drink it cold, and it’s sweet and refreshing with a pleasant red fruits flavor. I totally do get a hint of pomegranate, which is pretty nice. It’s like fruit juice – I’m always a fan of B&B strawberry teas! I will say that I’m drinking it right beside Jelly + Ice Cream, and well…I’d prefer the other tea any day. But I’m having a decent time! It’s a better than average fruit tea.

Thanks again, AJRimmer! First I must mention that I didn’t steep this iced like B&B intends, I prepared it hot and drank it hot. But whoa, there was hardly anything to this cup at all, and I steeped it at boiling, so if there was flavor here it would have been there in the hot cup, probably less so if I wanted to ice it? There is always the possibility this blend doesn’t like being steeped at boiling. Sometimes flavors shine at a lower temp. The brew color is the palest of yellow, so it isn’t even a pomegranate or strawberry red. There is the slightest hint of strawberry and pom to the flavor. I probably should have used two teaspoons but I’m not sure that really would have made a difference here. This is one of my least favorite blends from B&B. Meh.
Steep #1 // 1 teaspoon for a full mug // just boiled // 6 minute steep

2 tsp with boiling water; as it is 8 pm. Grandpa.

It is bit tart – that is what I needed probably. It is generic fruity though. Strawberries are there; as well some tartness from pomergranate. It is not really full of title fruits as I have expected.

But it was good for this evening.

Combined with cornish clotted cream vanilla ice cream.
