I’ve had my eye on this one for awhile. With each 52teas order (and there have been many already!), this one never made it to the final purchase round. It’s jumped in my cart a couple times, but each time I end up taking it out in favor of a more unique/limited creation. So thank you to Awkward Soul for sharing a couple cups worth and satisfying my curiosity about this one.
This smells delicious before taking a 3-minute hot bath. After infusion, the tea liquor smells creamy and strawberryish, but less so than the dry leaf did. First few sips leave me a little underwhelmed… Added more rock sugar than I care to admit and it started to be a little tastier.
I do have the leaves resteeping in the fridge, so we’ll see if that turns out to be any different.
This isn’t something I’d purchase, but am glad to cross off another tea from my shopping list.

i hope our tastebuds are different as i’m pretty sure this one has finally made it to me.
I hope so for your sake too! I’m pretty sure I burned off all my tastebuds in my 20’s when all I drank was coffee…
haha! I tihnk mine were frozen off with all the ice and slurpees i used to knock back all the time.
This is one of my all time top 5 favorite tea treats. Its like my comfort tea. I can’t imagine why you didn’t get more flavor out of it. How sad. :(
Yeah, I know… this was my second attempt at liking it but it just didn’t do it for me. It is a little more flavorful as it cools I’m noticing.
Have you tried it with milk? I found that really brings out the flavours of this tea.
I didn’t like this either.
