Just got my Happy Turtle Tea order. . . And because this one is an “IT” fandom blend, I had to try it. (I’m a big horror fan and Stephen King fan)
Being a flavored puerh, I was a bit worried about how this blend was going to come together. I haven’t really liked flavored puerhs so far. The added marshmallows and sprinkles added even a bit more worry but also added intrigue. So I went ahead and placed a small sample order to try a few blends.
This is truly a weird tea-puerh, strawberry & hazelnut flavoring, marshmallows, and sprinkles. The puerh is pretty muted and the sugar from the marshmallows and sprinkles is the star of the blend. I am picking up the strawberry which I do like and wish was a bit stronger. The sugary up front flavor is a bit much for me but I’m hoping the second infusion the spotlight will be more strawberry hazelnut puerh.
Can’t decide if I’m a fan or not. . .on the fence about this one. . .
Flavors: Strawberry, Sugar, Sweet

I’ve had pu-erh and strawberry together, which worked…but I’d think the hazelnut would make it wonky.
I need to find a solid strawberry puerh blend minus the marshmallows and sugar sprinkles. I love the look of the blend- but I think you are right, the hazelnut is throwing me.
Wish I could remember the genus and species of the strawberry pu-erh I tried…
Lupicia’s Chocolate & Strawberry Puer?
I also vote Lupicia’s Chocolate and Strawberry Puer!
That one has been on my wishlist for a while, might be time to do a Lupicia’s order and properly use my Christmas tea money from my parents :)
Brutaliteas has a black/puerh blend with hazelnut, strawberry, and cocoa nibs that’s really tasty!
@amandastory516 I’ve been seeing a lot about Brutaliteas too lately. By any chance do you remember what that blend was called? I’m not seeing it on the site but could totally be missing it.
Nichole: I found it on Steepster and it’s called Assam a Go-Go
Nichole- Sorry…Lexie is correct, it’s called Assam a Go-Go!
