Hmm. Torn about this one. The other pear tea in the Strange VariaTea TTB is the Cultivate Taste Baked Pear Oolong, so that’s the pear tea I’ve had in most recent memory. Between the “baked” part and being an oolong, that one is understandably heartier. This one is lighter. Not weaker, just more like a fresh juicy pear than a pear tart. I particularly like it as it cools down – that fresh fruitiness works well as a cold beverage.
