SHAE’S ADVENT CALENDAR, DECEMBER 9
Was I good this year to deserve a Lupicia blend in my Advent Calendar? Or it is some Shae’s mishap? That brand… that famous Japanese brand with great teas I had only in tea bag. Ohhhh!
It’s not artificial. Period.
It’s a great strawberry tea, flavoured just right. Yes, the dry pouch can be overwhelming. Yes, it’s strong, but feels real.
I took two teaspoons and used a reusable tea bag from Nichole/CuppaGeek. Thank you Nichole. And thank you Shae for this tea.
I steeped for 3 minutes. It was bold and the base was there strongly. But it was so mild, so wonderfully flavoured. I was like eating real fruits with bold black tea. But it’s just flavoured black tea.
It’s not bitter. It’s not bland. It’s… Lupicia. Only thing I am not sure about; can be the berry more juicy next time?

That sounds so delicious. I never mind strong tastes but even a little artificial is a turn off for me (unless it’s candy-like, sometimes, that’s okay. ^^)
OMG I was just eating those strawberry puff gummies last night! And yes, Lupicia is the the bomb diggity.
Hah, completely agree Kawaii433! Sometimes it’s just too much. Not here luckily and even my father, who generally hates flavoured teas said it was smelling real and nice. I don’t mind artificial flavouring, but it must be somehow right.
Cameron B. What a coincidence! I can eat tons of those, as they are just right on sweet-o-meter.
Everyone: Do you know what I love on that mine picture? That one of that puff gummy is hiding “1 cup of” and it shows only “perfect tea” which is kind of right on this cuppa!
I am getting this one for Christmas! Squeeeeee!
You had to be a “good girl” when you get this for Christmas ashmanra! :D
I’m so glad you liked this one!
Indeed I liked. A lot!
