Sipdown!!
Did I really initially rate this a 39? Oh dear. I’ll have to bump it up.
I used the rest of my bag, otherwise I’d have been left with less than a serving left. And I thought I might resteep this one again later.
Anyway, it is better than last time, but I taste more oolong floral and less strawberry. I still maintain that I like the Teavivre one over this because I think it has a little more strawberry to it, and the oolong is less fragrant and overpowering. As a straight oolong, this is pretty tasty, but I really can’t pick up on much strawberry…which again, may be because I used more than suggested.

I wonder if you were part of the order that ended up getting the bottom of the tin where there was a lot of flowers that ended up overpowering the tea.
Not sure. It’s from my order with the big group last year.
I don’t remember who ordered but there was a group Canadian order that had an issue with the Strawberry.
Might have been…I know a few people from the group had mixed feelings on this one.
Here is a link from the ‘incident’. http://steepster.com/lindsay/posts/177413#comments. After she received the new tea, she reported that it tasted vastly different.
No, this seems separate. Mine did not taste like lavender, but a very floral oolong. In a non-laveneder way. Just floral in the way some oolongs are. And just not much strawberry. This steep was better than the original, which is why I bumped my rating. But it’s ok. I only had a small amount because it was from a joint order via OMGsrsly…it was good to try this.
Ah, I see. I think we might move on from this one, since there is another strawberry tea I want to make but can’t justify having 4 strawberry teas.
Other than Ruby Pie and With Open Eyes, and this…what’s the other strawberry tea?
So, it is WOE, Ruby, and this but I kind of want to make the tea I made for my friend Chocolate Espresso cupcake with strawberry vanilla frosting.
OMG, yes please!
Cavocorax-It needs some work because I made a guayusa for her and I think that flavor would sell better with a different base, even though guayusa works amazingly well with both the espresso and the strawberry.
Ooooh! Need a tester? :P
Hahaha. :)
