I got a cute little sample packet of this from Kittenna. I love how DAVIDs packages their samples, they’re adorable and perfect for taking around in your purse or bag. I brought this one up with me since I didn’t want to be without my daily morning cold brew, and it seems like it’d be good iced. I don’t really like strawberry teas hot (Lady Londonderry being the delicious exception).
I think I steeped this a little under 12 hours, I tend to get up earlier when I am away from home. It’s a lovely color, pale strawberry pink. The hibiscus is nonexistent which I am grateful for, this really just tastes like strawberries. It’s got a nice juicy quality, perhaps not overly strong—I almost would have guessed this was a white blend with a kind of middle of the road base, it’s not very “herb-y.” It does have some soft floral notes and an airy quality which remind me of a white blend… yet it’s definitely tea-free. Weird!
Sadly, I’m not getting a ton of ginger, just a hint towards the end of each sip. I love spicy ginger teas so I was hoping for a strong kick of it, but I’d have to say the taste is almost 100% strawberry with the teeniest ounce of ginger. It’s very refreshing with a nice natural sweetness, though just not at all what I was expecting.

Strawberry and Ginger together!!?? I have never thought of this combo before.
This is going on my shopping list.
It’s a great idea—if you do get this, you might want to throw in a little extra ginger root just for that oomph factor!
Great tip,thanks!
Though it will be awhile till I can place another tea order.
I have placed three in the last month, and I literally do not have one inch of room in my tea cabinet…plus I should probably save some money for next months bills ;)
This sounds delicious. I enjoy ginger, but sometimes it’s a little aggressive in the teas I’ve had. But I do have some candied ginger just in case. Going to put this on my shopping list also.
Interesting – this is definitely NOT what I got from this tea! I got a strong blend, heavy on the ginger, so heavy it was a bit weird. That sample clearly would have been from a different batch though, so it could have been different.
I’ve found that DT blends can be sometimes a bit inconsistent, where you get different flavors even from the same batch depending on how much of each ingredient is in the cup! Not always a bad thing, but it does take me a few brews to decide if I really want to buy it. I think I got a sample of this with one of my orders that is currently buried somewhere, I’ll dig it up and see if the ginger is stronger!
