After 10 days of action-packed exploration, I have finally returned from my half-planned excursion through the wilds of Washington State and the Oregon coastline touring all things natural, historical, and Twin Peaks-related. Within minutes of walking through my door, I have already begun catching up on work from home and, of course, brewing the first of my haul in tea recovered from the distant western territory. Buckle up, Ashmanra!
I’m drawing my first cup from the sample of strawberry black tea I picked up in Seattle’s Pike Place Market area, and it smells rich with berries and cream. I don’t have a lot to say about this one, being a somewhat straightforward blend. The flavoring is strongest in the aroma, and the mingling of strawberry and black tea brings out an almost roasted quality to the fruit, the flavor of which is authentic and melds the qualities of sweetness and fleshy tanginess you get from the real deal. Smooth and quenching, it may not be a standout for any unique reason but it’s a solid cup and performs the role of the classic ably and to a good standard, which is a good omen for the rest of my samples.
Flavors: Strawberry
Strawberry black is one of our favorites! Is the cream aspect strong? Or mostly smoothing the base?
A Twin Peaks related trip?!?
