Strawberry Cream

I like this tea a lot but man, if you over steep it, it’t the most bitter stuff ever.

I definitely like the weight this tea carries in my mouth. The green tea is almost like a taiwanese oolong in taste. I don’t detect any sort of grassiness at all, and the armona is a fresh-picked strawberry (sadly, I don’t get any “cream” in either taste or smell – maybe I haven’t had it enough) that lingers for a few moments on the palette.

It was almost overbrewed by the time I got to it though, the water they use at my local Coffee Bean is ridiculously hot.

Wow! My all time favourite green. I can no longer order CBTL products so i hoard this tea ;) and buy more when i travel to the States. It would be my daily morning tea if it were more accessible. Until them i will keep hunting for a substitute.

Definitely bitter if you over steep. The tea bags contain more tea than most so a second and third steep are great too.

Great quality green tea for a teabag and beautiful fragrance.

Wow, what a day it has been, full of freaks and weirdos. I don’t even want to write about it, just glad to be home and there are a lot of strange people coming out in S.F. after 9 pm.

So I went into the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf looking for something to revive me before my class. I asked the guy at the counter for advice about whether to put sweetener in this and he said to add vanilla powder. I thought this was nice, it was in a mesh teabag and definitely had a good strawberry flavor as well as something “cream” like that didn’t seem too artificial. I would get this one again if I was out and about but I have a lot of flavored green teas right now and don’t need anymore in my house!

Got this in a latte today from CBTL and it tasted just like the name. I really got a nice strawberry taste.

Had some of this last week. I like the square tin and the label is nice. It smells very good but the taste is a little bitter. I will try another cup not brewed as long.
