This is a gift from Youngest – many thanks!

Good strawberry black teas are a favorite in this house, but I am treating myself to a cup with cream puffs this afternoon as a little snack. Ashman won’t mind as there is enough left for him to have some, too!

The dry leaf aroma was so delectable when I opened that it derailed my plans to try others first. Pink peppercorns are so attractive in a tea blend and add a much better flavor for my palate than black peppercorns.

I am drinking this hot in spite of being out of doors all day with the neighbor’s puppy. Fortunately, Ashman installed two ceiling fans on the carport for me for Mother’s Day. (he can do ANYTHING.)

I really like this smooth yet not weak base. It is perfect for afternoon tea time. The peppercorns are more prominent than I expected but they are not too much. A little warmth, just as they described, and not a spicy heat. It reminds me of Sakurambo a little bit but with strawberry instead of cherry.

Very good!

ETA – Awesome iced!

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fifteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
