Lala drank Strawberry Pie Honeybush by 52teas

871 tasting notes

Definitely still getting pepper out of most of the 52 teas honeybush blends.

This one dry smells like strawberry ice cream. Not like Breyers, but like the cheap house brand, which is still good :)

It tastes like the peppery honeybush I just can’t seem to escape. I am definitely getting strawberry, there is pastry, slight cinnamon. I would describe this one as more strawberry rhubarb, however it is not tart.

Definitely better as it starts cooling.

Bio

I am a lifetime tea lover.

I did foray into the world of coffee for a period of time, but I returned to my true love. I still, however, enjoy a good cup of java.

My all time favorite tea is Earl Grey, which I drink every morning, the stronger the bergamot the better. I definitely prefer natural oil of bergamot to artificial flavouring.

I mostly like black and dark oolong teas. My current favs are Fujian blacks, Keemun and Assams, and Wuyi oolongs. I gravitate towards anything with lychee in it. I also drink a lot of herbal blends but am wary of hibiscus. I do not favour mate, or pu’erh tea, although I have found a few blends that I like. (I so badly want to like straight pu’erh tea but it all tastes gross to me. I keep trying though). Rooibos, green and white teas fall somewhere in the middle. I find myself gravitating towards heavily roasted oolongs and teas from Paris/France based companies.

I love iced teas and cold brews.

My current tea goal is to make the perfect cup of chai from scratch – almost there…I think.

I am in love with the whole experience of tea.
