drank Wild Strawberry by DAVIDsTEA
85 tasting notes

Visited my local DavidsTea in search of the new mugs, I need to have the blue egg shell sheep mug. I toyed with the idea of getting the colour changing sheep mug instead but stuck with my original plan. While I was there, I also bought 50g of the Wild Strawberry tea at the request of my oldest.

Dried, I found the scent of the leaf to be very similar to the Strawberry Rhubarb Parfait with a very creamy strawberry candy scent. Brewed the liquid becomes a clear rose colour with a sweet creamy aroma. Taste wise, I picked up more of a sweet apple and hibiscus flavouring.

I was hopping for more of a strawberry taste. My oldest absolutely loved her cup of tea. Before I give over the remaining bag of tea to her, I want to try it iced.

Flavors: Apple, Hibiscus, Sweet

I totally agree, it wasn’t nearly as strawberry as I would have liked.

My oldest loves it, which is great, so if I don’t like it iced I won’t worry that the leaf will go to waste. Hoping iced or a cold brew brings out more of the flavour.

Huh, interesting – I actually thought the strawberry was really potent. I did try it iced, rather than hot though: maybe that makes a difference?

The blue sheep mug is cute! I actually got the grey colour change one, to the chagrin of my boyfriend. The deciding factor for me what the fact that the GORGEOUS pear print/pattern is featured on the colour change one. I need that pattern in my life…

Roswell, my oldest loved it said she could drink it all day (she is also more of a coffee drinker that I am trying to convert lol). It could be she got more strawberry in her scoop. I have also been told by others who tried it that they found it very strawberry flavoured and that it was iced.

Bio

I am happily married to my husband who definitely is the chatterbox of our 20 year relationship. Together we have three rambunctious children 2 daughters and a son who is stuck in the middle of the girls. We also have a 17 year old fur baby (cat) who likes to the rule house and tell us at midnight it is time to pay attention to him rather than sleep.

I am an elementary school teacher, teaching grade 3/4 with a mixed bag of learning abilities and educational needs. I love my job and share my passion for learning with my students.

I have been a tea drinker since I was allowed to take my first sip, which was very early in life and was mostly the Rose Hip and Earl Grey my grandma would brew by the pot full and serve when company came over. Later in my teen life (once I had more choice of my own) I fell in love with peppermint and green teas. I love hot brews and iced teas. Now I will try just about any kind of tea as long as it doesn’t contain nuts or gluten (damn allergies ruin everything).

I prefer my tea to be natural, meaning without any added sweeteners or cream/milk. I want to be able to experience the tea as it was intended.

My Rating Scale:
0-20: OMG what did I just put into my mouth! I cannot keep this it must be trashed or rehomed.
20-40: Horrible, not something I will drink again, but someone else may still like it
40-60: Ok, nothing overly special, it is kept around because others like it
60-80: Good, either I or someone else in the house liked it
80-95: Great! Will drink this occasionally and will keep it around
95-100: Absolutely amazing, and must keep it in stock at all times!

I invite you to join me as I go through my stash and share my thoughts and opinions on the teas as I and my family drink them (or eat them as my 3 year old says when I use matcha in icing)
