drank Strawberries & Cream Assam Black Tea by 52teas
1443 tasting notes

2023 sipdown no. 53

Thank you for sharing Kelmishka :)

I have only one 52Tea blends after this one, sadly! This one smelled very true to the name dry. The dried strawberry pieces in the blend were delightful. I noticed the recommendations said to wait for 10 minutes before drinking, which I did. The taste was okay. The strawberry was there, but very mellowed out by the cream flavour. However, the cream flavour came off weirdly to me — almost like a lotion? There was a very smooth astringency to the whole cup which I think most people would be a-okay with, but I’m not an astringency fan (even as smoothed out as it was).

Happy to do another swap down the line, if you’d like! I can stockpile some more 52Teas for you to try! :)

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos (green preferable to red), herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens (mango or pineapple, yum!).

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it (Camellia Sinensis Earl Grey Cream is one of my favourites).

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan with an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I usually just pick them out of blends).
