A delicious duet of strawberry-cream and the subtle earthiness of Pu-Erh. A treat for any berry lover who likes the smoothness of a Pu-Erh. Vanilla soy milk will compliment this tea nicely. Good for weight loss and digestion.
How to Prepare
Use 1 teaspoon of tea per 8oz of water. Heat water to 195-205 degrees and steep for 3-5 minutes. 2oz of tea equals 25-30 teaspoons.
Ingredients:
Aged black pu-erh tea with dried strawberries and dairy-free cream flavoring.
This tea is ok. As with most Teavana teas, not sure how much of the flavoring is natural. You really can’t taste much of the pu-erh. I guess I could recommend this as a beginning pu-erh. I probably won’t buy again, but I would drink it if someone offered it to me.
Great Pu erh from Teavana, if you like the benefits of pu erh but not the fishy smell of some pu erhs you should give this one a try. Not a typical pu erh.
Update: Bumping up this rating because I love it so much. It has the earthy taste of puerh with the sweet smell and taste of strawberries. Unfortunately this was my last spoonful I will definently have to reorder.
Update No. 2: Bumping this rating down. This WAS my favorite Puerh AND Strawberry flavored tea but they decided to do an upgrade on it and now it taste to mellow like strawberries with cream. Now I’m stuck with 2 new ounces and it’s just not the same :(
Nose is very overbearing. The nose is too sweet and powerful and gives no sense of tea (at least not enough for a Pu-erh). Tea was okay but it was too sweet to be a Pu-erh. The “woodsy” taste of the Pu-erh was really not good with the sweetness of the strawberry. Underwhelmed and overpriced. Not terrible, but not what I payed for.
