whosbradpitt drank Strawberry Fields by Plum Deluxe

251 tasting notes

This is my favorite tea of the Plum Deluxe advent so far. It’s mostly jasmine flower in scent and flavor. The strawberry, noticeable in the dry leaf, is subtle in the steeped cup. I divided this sample into two small cups; the second had almost no discernable strawberry at all. But I prefer the slight hint here, because it goes so well with the jasmine without overwhelming me with the strawberry flavor I tend to find so artificial. The green tea base is perfect for these flavors overall.

If you don’t care for floral tea, this would not be a good fit, but if you do love jasmine, this is a great way to go.

Great at buying tea, good at drinking tea, bad at timely reviews. Drawn to fruit, floral, spice, smoke, and flavored teas in general; prefer those that stand well without milk or sweetener. Black is fine, green is better, and red rooibos is trash.

I aim to rate when I finish a package or a complete sipdown, except in advent season.

My ratings are for me, so I don’t accidentally buy something that sounds amazing but I’ve already tried and disliked. I struggle a bit with wanting to be “fair” to a tea that other people would probably like, but then my system won’t work!

90-100 A: loved it; would make this a permanent member of my stash
80-89 B: tasty; would pick it up again
70-79 C: good; could grab with a good deal or to try in a different style
60-69 D: okay; would keep in a set but probably would not repurchase on its own
1-59 F: various shades of bad; would not purchase; closer to 1 means may not even drink again if offered.
