Another free sample courtesy of Teavivre. I loved the smell of the dry leaves, reminded me of sweet strawberry mochi. I brewed the tea with some trepidation expecting this to have an artificial and/or overwhelming fruit flavor like most flavored teas. I’m happy to report that my fears were unfounded. The first steeping was creamy smooth with a gentle strawberry flavor. You actually can taste the base oolong and the strawberry complements it instead of competing with it.
Those that prefer fruity teas might find it underwhelming but for me the flavor profile of this tea was on point. Unfortunately the strawberry flavor is mostly lost after the 1st steeping so all you taste on the 2nd steeping is the oolong itself.
Flavors: Cotton Candy, Milk, Strawberry
