Featured Reblend for July 2020!

This tea was originally blended – during Frank’s era – as a VIT (a Very Important Tea) due to it’s special Silver Needle White Tea base. It’s also a tea that been requested as a reblend since we took over 52Teas five years ago & for good reason – this tea is exquisite.

This blend starts with beautiful, tender, sweet Silver Needle White Tea blended with strawberries, raspberries & blackberries. The white tea is sweet & delicate. The berry flavor is sublime. If this doesn’t make your taste buds happy – then I don’t know if anything can.

This blend was first crafted by Frank back in 2012. Here is what he said about it back then:

Here’s another Very Important Tea. Ultra-premium Silver Needle white tea blended with freeze dried strawberries, blackberries and raspberries. I don’t think any other blender would dare to tamper with as exquisite a white tea as this, but we’re not any other blender.

It’s been quite a while since I last tried this blend – so my memory of it has faded somewhat, but interestingly enough, when I started sipping on my taste test cuppa – my memory kind of came back which suggested to me that maybe I got it right.

I really like how it turned out. It’s sweet & delicate – with a pleasant mixed berry note. As the tea cools, it takes on a creamy note that really takes the overall cup to a whole other level.

Really nice. Yep, it’s VEGAN, gluten free & allergen free too!

ingredients: white tea, organic strawberries, organic raspberries, organic blackberries & organic natural flavors

Nice and mellow. Really mild white tea flavor, with a burst of fresh berries- strawberries most prominently.

WandaVision Binge Watch – Ep 6

Inspiration for this tea came from the Maximoff Twins – silver needle for my beloved Quicksilver and the red berries for Scarlet Witch. It was another tea that tasted smooth, gentle and calming and that was probably good because both I and this episode were not.

At some point near the end of the episode I transcended the physical plane of existence and reached pure tranquility – the caffeine stopped making me feel like I was being snapped out of existence and instead I had perfect clarity. Then the episode ended and, by some miracle, I basically passed right out and slept like a rock.

It was an experience – and now I am caught up on WandaVision!

ugh so annoyed i wasn’t able to get this one as there aren’t enough for me to place a worthwhile order without my tea mule being able to send things me way :(

I’m pleased to see Steepster is more streamlined these days… hopefully easier to deal with behind the scenes as well. Thank you Steepster team for keeping this beast running!

Thank you so much CHAroma! I desperately wanted to try this one and I was able to get a sample with the SBT iced teas I bought. The berries listed are my favorites, so this blend just seemed for me. This tastes almost exactly like I knew it would – a lovely silver needle base that lends some lemony flavor. The berry flavors are present in both steeps equally. There are actual strawberry pieces in the blend. Very tasty and very happy I was able to try it!
