whosbradpitt drank Strawberry Honeysuckle by Plum Deluxe

294 tasting notes

Tried this one hot and iced again. On its own, it’s fairly bitter black tea with artificial strawberry as an afterthought. They suggested some sweetener to bring out the flavor profile, so I tried a little strawberry infused honey in the hot version. That improved the bitterness. In the iced, I used a little crystalized lime instead and wound up enjoying it quite a lot more. I still think strawberry is hard to do right, and I didn’t feel like I got honeysuckle at all, but not a bad iced tea.

Great at buying tea, okay at drinking tea, awful at timely reviews. Drawn to fruit, floral, spice, smoke, and flavored teas in general; prefer those that stand well without milk or sweetener. Black is fine, green is better, and red rooibos is trash.

My ratings are for me, so I don’t accidentally buy something that sounds amazing but I’ve already tried and disliked. I struggle a bit with wanting to be “fair” to a tea that other people would probably like, but then my system won’t work!

90-100 A: loved it; would make this a permanent member of my stash
80-89 B: tasty; would pick it up again
70-79 C: good; could grab with a good deal or to try in a different style
60-69 D: okay; would keep in a set but probably would not repurchase on its own
1-59 F: various shades of bad; would not purchase; closer to 1 means may not even drink again if offered.
