Real strawberries are given a wonderfully warm character by whole pink peppercorns in this strawberry black tea. An uncommon pairing, but well worth the adventure. The flavor is well balanced with juicy, fresh strawberry, smooth black tea notes, and a little bit of warmth (not heavy spice) on the back of your tongue from the pink peppercorns. A delicious fruity tea that reminds you of sunny summer days. Great as a hot tea, but is a staff favorite as an iced tea. When cold, the fruit flavors come forward for a truly refreshing drink.

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!
After 10 days of action-packed exploration, I have finally returned from my half-planned excursion through the wilds of Washington State and the Oregon coastline touring all things natural, historical, and Twin Peaks-related. Within minutes of walking through my door, I have already begun catching up on work from home and, of course, brewing the first of my haul in tea recovered from the distant western territory. Buckle up, Ashmanra!
I’m drawing my first cup from the sample of strawberry black tea I picked up in Seattle’s Pike Place Market area, and it smells rich with berries and cream. I don’t have a lot to say about this one, being a somewhat straightforward blend. The flavoring is strongest in the aroma, and the mingling of strawberry and black tea brings out an almost roasted quality to the fruit, the flavor of which is authentic and melds the qualities of sweetness and fleshy tanginess you get from the real deal. Smooth and quenching, it may not be a standout for any unique reason but it’s a solid cup and performs the role of the classic ably and to a good standard, which is a good omen for the rest of my samples.
