I’d love to hear recommendations for a strawberry tea that really blew your mind, because I love strawberries and even strawberry candy flavor, but strawberry in tea is so often a miss for me.

This is a subtle tea. The artificial strawberry is present in the scent, but the tea itself seems to shine through the other flavors. I get a little bit of chocolate strawberry at the aftertaste. But it’s the typical stale, bordering on medicinal artificial strawberry, and I wouldn’t do this again.

Plum Deluxe Advent, Day 8

Flavors: Artificial, Chocolate, Strawberry

Preparation
Boiling 4 min, 0 sec

Chocolate and Strawberry Puer from Lupicia, and really most of their strawberry teas are great. Marco Polo from Mariages Freres is very good but can be finicky.

I agree with ashmanra, I like Lupicia’s strawberry teas a lot! Dammann also has some good teas with strawberry in them, like Jardin Bleu and Fraise Pistache.

Throwing in my vote for Lupicia!

Also note that shipping looks high but every time I order I get a refund of $5-$6 on shipping within a day or two.

Interesting note on the shipping, but I’m glad that there seems to be consensus. Adding Lupicia to my list to try – after advents are done! :)

Love Potion by B&B – it’s a seasonal tea that comes out around valentine’s, it’s chocolate strawberry and rose and one of my absolute favourites.

Rose definitely has my attention! I’ll have to pay attention in February and try this one.

Yume is lovely – strawberry and rose!

I hope you love it!

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.
