Another booth that I spent a fair amount of time at during WTE was the Australian Tea Master booth which was just packed with different things including tea based wine proxies, various books, and – of course – tea. What caught my attention was a sample pack of teas made using tea leaf grown in Australia as well as other Austalia native ingredients. So, obviously I picked that up…
This is the first I tried and I actually really, really enjoyed it. The green tea was smooth with a gentle grassiness that made for a good blending foundation for a very sweet, juicy fresh strawberry note and a hint of fresh zesty lime. Quite lively and summery with a lot of flavour without being very sweet. As someone who’s had a lot of strawberry green teas, this one really stands out to me.
