Tea of the Week for August 10, 2015!
I had originally planned to make this a “just because” special edition type of tea but one of the teas that I had planned on being the tea of the week for this week just didn’t work out that way, so I decided this would become the tea of the week for this week! And it’s a good one!
I really wanted another strawberry tea to help say goodbye to summer (and really, I’m so ready to say goodbye to the heat!) so I decided to create a tea inspired by a recipe I found somewhere out there in cyberspace – a Strawberry Tea Cake. This thing looked amazing – a loaf cake with lots of juicy strawberries baked in, and topped with a nutty, crumbly crust and then drizzled with a light glaze.
These flavors work very well with my black tea base – it’s robust and full-flavored. It tastes like a sweet breakfast-y treat!
Large size is 2 ounces.
Ingredients: Organic Black Teas, Organic Freeze-Dried Strawberries, Organic Vanilla Bean & Organic, All-Natural Flavors.
1 tsp. tea to 12 oz. boiling water. Steep 2 1/2 – 5 minutes. Allow tea to cool 10 minutes after brewing for best flavor.
