There was nothing on the 12th, because we were out all evening playing at being grown-ups with dinner and a Leonard Cohen theatre concert. But the next day there was this.
This sound much more up my specific field of preference than the other two, this one. I’m a little surprised by it though. I can’t for the life of me recall having ever seen it before, especially because it rather seems like something that would have caught my interest when first blended. I expect it was probably in the summer, so maybe it was while we were away on holiday or something, and so I didn’t pay attention.
My first association when I smelled the dry leaf was bubble gum and it’s a thought I’m having difficulties really shaking. Secondary thought is that it smells exactly like a specific lemonade-y ice lolly that you can get in Denmark. That one is quite nice, although not a favourite. I’m not picking up much strawberry, mainly lemonade, and I can’t find the base tea in the aroma at all.
The flavour is an entirely different matter. I get lots of lemonade and also plenty of strawberry and then a peek of base white underneath.
I was right. This is right up my specific field of preference this. Oh dear, I do wish I had noticed this one when it was actually posted…

I found I preferred the second steeping, as the strawberry was less overpowering and tasted lovely.
I quite liked the heavy strawberry. I think strawberry is one of those flavours that it’s difficult to get right in tea, and if there isn’t LOTS of it, I often don’t feel it’s quite there. I think it’s more susceptible to being drowned by other flavours.
