This was a sample from the February mailer. I really liked the strawberry and chocolate notes in this tea, but the puer base still reminds me of drinking rubber. The reviews seemed to say that for the most part it was hidden and I would agree, but every once in a while I got a hint of it. I enjoyed the cup but not something I need to visit very often.
This is You :-D

Bio
I started drinking tea while on a 4 month long cycling trip through South America. It seemed to always be a great way to warm up when I was cold and it was always available everywhere. Mate was the big tea of choice down there and it was also a great way to get to know people. When I returned home, my sister introduced me to Teavana and this launched me into the realm of loose leaf tea.

See that’s just it. even in small hints, once you taste rubber, you can’t un-taste it.
I agree, but I really loved the strawberry flavor in this one. If they could pair the strawberry flavor with say a keemun this would be my favorite flavored tea.
