Thanks NayLynn for a sample of this one! The sample looked more like goodies instead of oolong, so I went with two teaspoons. There is actual sugar sprinkled all through this blend, so that is a bit odd but a lot better than artificial sugar. I really love the ingredients in this blend… lovely roses, strawberry, apple, jasmine! All on an oolong base. The description says it should taste like strawberry shortcake with whip cream but it doesn’t really. Berries, sure, but not so much whip cream. Sadly, the floral bits didn’t result in more floral of a flavor. Luckily the blackberry leaves don’t make it into the flavor either, otherwise it might be a bit bitter. This is mostly sweet strawberry on an oolong base. I like it but I think it needs to be more than it is.
