I pushed this sample to the front of my list to review after noticing Simple Loose Leaf is running a $1 first month promo. This tea is the last of the six month subscription given me by Simple Loose Leaf. Thank You!
Of the ones I tried, the cherry tea I was least crazy about. I loved the Winter White Chai (really really good) and the Casablanca Earl Grey Green (yum). The rest were solid teas that I found worthy of being in my cup.
This tea has pieces of strawberry in it. Dry it smells insane, mixed with the India black tea it takes on a strawberry dipped in chocolate malt aroma. Brewed it is strawberry. Maybe if I took a sip and smelled the dry leaf at the same time? lol.
This is strawberry but not in your face STRAWBERRY. It doesn’t shout but it isn’t a wall flower. The taste, though a touch lighter than I expected, seems very natural. I can easily detect the black tea base in the long lingering aftertaste. In fact the base stands out more the longer the aftertaste lingers. I have not tried yet but I can imagine sipping this one iced on a porch swing with a warm gentle breeze blowing.
We went from arctic winter to monsoon season. My backyard is completely underwater and my basement now has a stream in it. Come on summer. Planning to have our porch built this summer to fix the stream problem and so I can sip iced tea on the swing.
