It’s not that it was bad. My daughter and I tried this Gongfu today. The first steep had the familiar strawberry flavor – in fact my daughter commented that it reminded her of the Strawberry Marshmallow Treat tea, and she didn’t know it was from the same company.
Second steep, no strawberry flavor at all. Just a sort of green oolong flavor. It’s a shame since it smelled great in the bag.
Mom of two practically grown girls, extremely happily married to a man who is amused by my obsession with tea, and company owner who works from home. Life is good.
Likes/dislikes: I love black teas, especially strong/malty ones. I am ok with flavored teas if the base is strong. I like some whites. I really don’t like any tea that tastes “green” – if I wanted to drink something that tastes like green beans, I would cook some green beans. I am not big on green teas or genmaichas. I am learning to like puerhs.
If we are trading, I have a STRONG aversion to coconut, banana and licorice. I love citrus, vanilla and spice. Not a fan of florals.
