A bit more Strawberries than Cream. This one tastes great hot or iced. It will remind you of a big bowl of fresh ripe strawberries with homemade rich whipped cream. Enjoy!

Yummmm…what a great blend. This could quite possibly be a (temporary) replacement for Marco Polo! It has similar notes to my favorite strawberry tea. This held up so well to cream that I think I am in strawberry cream heaven. This is just like a rich strawberry ice cream. So good! Was perfect to drink as a dessert tea!
Thanks Rachel for mailing me this in my sample package:) I will have to add this to my “must order” list. Just need to make quite a bit of room in my overflowing cupboard.
Mmm. Can I tell you that after making up come Mate Chocolate for the husband to try, this smells simply delightful? Because it does. Like angelfood cake with some strawberries spread over it. Sadly, the taste doesn’t match up to the smell but it’s not the blend’s fault – it’s the Adagio flavored tea base. It’s too strong and not very smooth and just overtakes things. Sigh. This is why I always have Adagio flavored teas with sugar and creamer. Sadly, with additives, the tea base is made to take a step back, but it kind of mutes the lovely strawberry flavor. Now it tastes like vanilla cake with a hint of strawberry syrup decorating the icing. All in all, a tasty, fluffy tea that has the potential for awesome-ness but ends up as just good.
Thank you to Rachel for sending me a sampling of this to try.
Yum! This is really, really good. I can taste strawberries and I can taste creamy sweetness. The black tea is a bit astringent, but I’ve come to expect it from Adagio’s black tea base so I’m not put off by it.
A pleasant berry flavor with a touch of cream. Another great Rachel blend!
After such a wonderful review from LiberTeas on here and http://www.teareviewblog.com/?p=13106 I just had to start my day with a cup of my very own blend. It has been some time since I last had this and I do remember liking it. However, I will say I enjoyed it even more this time then I had remembered. The strawberries tasted so real and so fresh. Just a juicy cup plus the cream just made it taste so sinful. The best part is that the cream tasted already sweetened and it made the whole experience that much more enjoyable and for some reason naughty. I just can’t explain it. Bottom line…YUMMY!
Your welcome and I never did think of the comparison you made between this and Marco Polo. I have both and think at some point I should do a taste comparison. Hmm the wheels are turning.
I ran out recently and have too much tea to justify purchasing more (hubby would kill me…or at least make me do dishes for several days). This is quite similar. Can’t wait to get some and try it iced as well.
Haven’t tried it iced yet but I am really low on my supply so will have to get some later to make it iced and I understand overflowing tea,I try to stop myself and it doesn’t always work. BTW, did you like the label? It is a photograph I took. Many of the labels are my photographs, yet another expensive hobby. LOL
I do like the photo. I understand about the expensive hobby, I just bought myself a new DSLR last winter. At least with the digital world things are a bit cheaper to manage (I don’t need to have rolls developed, although I used to work in a photo lab and do them myself). Need to spend more time with my camera, it has been gathering dust since summer started!
