HA. I am reviewing this tea over here because keychange did, and ALSO because this seems to be the full real tea name.
I just decided to make decaf because I was thinking it was SUPER LATE and time for me to switch and then I looked at the clock and it’s 6:10pm. FML. Granted, I did wake up just before 6am with a migraine (ugh) so maybe that’s just my body telling me I need more sleep.
Anyways. Sniffing the dry leaf it’s MAGICAL. Much strawberry. Very cream. Wow.
Steeped for 5 minutes (which is about my cut off for honeybush sorry instructions), it still smells strawberry, but hot it doesn’t taste it as much. I think this tea would be best left to cool for a bit but I’m impatient and adore milk in my tea, so I went ahead and added some.
I do really like this one. But. (omg I know) The strawberry isn’t in the front and centre of the sip. It’s more towards the end. So while it IS strawberry, it’s not STRAWBERRY AHHH as I was expecting from the smell.
Eh whatevs. I’d still totally buy more if I needed some strawberry tea. (Another really good strawberry honeybush is that one from TeaG, Smooth Strawberry Dream. But it’s strawberry and caramel.)
I’m going to try a shorter brewing time next time I have this! and I’m having it in milk mmm.
Cooler water, too. :) 204 is too hot IMO!
