I got this in a tea trade with silvermage2000 (thank you!) along with a bunch of other teas I need to try still.
The smell of the dry tea reminds my a of vanilla…only not quite. I can pick up sweet creamy notes that make me think of a dessert of some kind. When I add though water though, I smell strawberries – strawberry puree with some sweet cream added to it maybe. That impression stays with me as I taste the liquid too. It’s a very dessert-like tea, not heavy or harsh in any way. I imagin it would taste good with milk, but it’s perfectly drinkable on it’s own aswell.

my husband said that this one tasted like strawberry/blueberry muffins to him. i wasn’t a huge fan, but he really liked it. i like to know exactly what is in my tea, or at least the general flavors…not “secret mysterious blend”. :)
I’m generally that way too, but Mariage Freres is a pretty high-quality, long-lived tea company, so I have some faith that they know what they’re doing. :)
Oh, I don’t doubt what they are doing. I just like to know. A touch of OCD? hehe!
