Sky samurai was kind enough to send some tea my way, thanks! This one starts out promising with a nice strawberry smell and shortcake taste up front. But the lingering aftertaste is not pleasant. I might try cutting this with some lemongrass to counteract the astringent aftertaste. Or maybe I can pick the strawberry pieces out and add to a better base. The finish is disappointing as the dry leaf smells like a juicy strawberry :(
Flavors: Bitter, Cake, Strawberry
I started drinking more tea about 10 years ago when I found that even my half -caf coffee was making me jittery and then sleepy after the caffeine wore off. While I started out with mostly Teavana, but soon expanded my tea cupboard to include lapsang souchon, pu-erh, Assam, and other strong black teas. I do enjoy oolongs, green, and other teas, as well as a nice tisane for an evening cuppa.
I’m not fond of jasmine or bergamont teas, though I’ll try anything once.
I am an avid traveler, hiker, soccer player/watcher.
I love trying new tea in new places, if you see something in my cupboard you want to try, hit me up for a swap!
