This is my newest VIT (Very Important Tea) that I blended – I had originally planned on blending it in time for a January something release, because it goes along with the Candy Shop theme from January, but I was still so behind that I didn’t have time to do it.
I’m glad I did finally get this one blended though because it’s yummy. It’s inspired by one of my favorite lollipops from Lollies by Leah, a blend of strawberry ice cream and lemon sherbet flavors.
For this blend, I used Bu Lang black tea from the Yunnan province. The leaves are beautifully large and bulky and brewed without the strawberry and ice cream and lemon and sherbet flavors, it has a medium body, smooth, malty and fruity so I knew it would work well with these flavors.
My first couple of “taste test” cups were served hot and I loved them. Now I’m drinking it iced and I love it like that too. It’s a really wonderful blend.

Yum yum yum, I can’t wait for this one!
Ugh, this sounds so good. I love Leah’s lollypops so much. The collaboration you did with her last summer was how I found out about her. I signed up for the tea subscription to reduce my impulse 52 tea buys and now you’ve done this to me? I look forward to reading more reviews of this while I try not to sulk ;)
I do however have kilos of tea I need to drink and enjoy including a ton of 52teas so I can’t sulk too much.
omg that sounds divine
Yes, am desperately trying not to sulk as well. Or pout.
