I’m not entirely sure what I expected from this tea but, whatever it was, I think this tea undelivered. It’s not that it was unpleasant (though there was a little bit of a chemical edge to the flavourings used) but that it was so simple. Simple isn’t equivalent to bad, but for a name/profile like “Strawberry Rhubarb Pie” I think some level of complexity is needed to actually deliver. Simply slapping a strawberry and rhubarb flavouring on a black tea base doesn’t really translate into what you’ve named the blend. Where is the pie!? Where is the dense thickness of the sweet and tart filling? I think it will be easy enough to finish this sample off, but I’ll definitely have to adjust my expectations with the next cups.

Thank you for sharing this one with me, Sil!
Also hi steepster! I miss you a lot. My exam is next Friday and then I have July off before starting work in August. I have fun plans like reading my many new books, learning an instrument and a language, but tea will be a lot more apart of my life again so I’ll be back here too!
Today I literally made tea for the caffeine. I’m at the tax law part of my material and in addition to it basically being a different language despite looking like English, it made me super sleepy yesterday. So I am procrastinating getting back into it today and also arming myself with tea.
I picked this one because I wanted a strawberry black tea to go with my strawberry (/raspberry) tart breakfast bowl. The bowl was delicious. This tea isn’t bad. However, unlike the Tea Girl’s vanilla flavor – which is super strong and lovely – this tea is rather bland. Mostly just a fruit black tea. Not bad but nothing special either. Still fun to try though!
Had this one the other day and it wasn’t half bad. Certainly better than the other strawberry rhubarb pie that i had the other day. That being said, i miss my butiki strawberry rhubarb :(
