I think that I’ve been waiting to try this tea since forever, so thank you to Mercuryhime for this sample! The teabag version of this tea is in a cute little muslin sachet. It smells simply of sweet fruit, probably mostly of strawberry. The flavor is malty and fruity, with a fresh berry aftertaste. I completely agree that this tea tastes just like strawberries and cream, and it even has a creamy mouthfeel. It is really well blended, nice and strong black tea but with the perfect amount of flavor. I will definitely be picking some of this one up the next time I go to Chapel Hill!

Have you tried Anna’s Blend from Tin Roof Teas? I was drinking Marco Polo but sometimes had trouble getting it just right. I think you would like it if you like Marco Polo.
Yes, but I didn’t like Anna’s! It seemed to have too much of a sourcream/yogurty note to it, while this is all sweet cream. Or at least it is to me, anyways. :)
It is a cute tea bag isn’t it? Glad you enjoyed it. :)
Yes, it is SO cute! :)
You are right about the flavor. There is definitely the tang of yogurt there, but I like it! I like this one, too, when I get it right! :)
Oh, Williams Sonoma also used to sell it, so you may want to check there if you are close to be before you go to Chapel Hill. Marco Polo, that is!
Oh yay, we have a WS here. I’ll have to see if they carry it. Thanks for the tip!
