The dry tea smells like delicious, sweet, strawberries. Somewhat artificial but more in a candy-like sense.
The brewed tea smells like sweet strawberry jam. There is almost a bit of a spice or peppery smell, like what I associate with the green strawberry leaves.
The tea tastes like creamy strawberry jam. It is sweet enough on its own without adding anything, but not too sweet. There is a creamy and thick feeling to the liquor. The creaminess is due to the vanilla but the vanilla taste is not too strong. I would say the black tea is of medium boldness. But it is smooth, it does not overshadow the strawberry but blends very well with it.
Not too flavourful immediately after brewing, but better after it starts to cool a bit.
Edit: This is super creamy strawberry after it has cooled to room temp. I think better than when it was hot. Looking forward to trying cold brewed/iced.
