Made this on my way out the door this morning. It wasn’t cool enough to drink until quite a bit into my morning! I decided not to do it over ice this morning as I can’t seem to get the balance of the ice, leaf, and sweetener correct.

This morning there wasn’t as much of a strawberry flavor and more of a bitter taste at the end of the sip. Still enjoyable and it kept me full-ish until right before lunch. I love that.

Today is a day for feel-good teas only. It’s our long-term foster kitty’s adoption day, and I’m trying to keep my emotions in check. It’s not an easy feat. The adoption is an absolute perfect match, so I’m really over the moon for our sweet Holly. She’s going to have the very best life. Goodbyes are really hard for me though, so I’m also feeling sad that she’s leaving. She’s been here almost 15 months, our longest foster yet, and I’ll miss her. I wish I could explain to her that this is going to be the best thing that ever happened to her. I wish she could know that she doesn’t have to be scared anymore. That she isn’t being abandoned all over again. I wish I knew how to help her understand. This is the hardest part of fostering for me, but it’s also the part that gives all the rest of it so much meaning. I remember when we adopted each of our cats how excited we were and how much we loved them right away. Seeing that same excitement in each of our adopters’ faces is so very special because I know exactly how they are feeling in that moment. It’s safe to say that today is going to be an emotional day. Please send happy thoughts my way.

I’m starting the day with my absolute favorite. I don’t have much to add that I haven’t already said before. It tastes like strawberry candy. The base is strong and bold, good for a breakfast tea. It’s also wonderful as a resteep. This is a nostalgia tea for me.

Flavors: Candy, Strawberry

I hope the day is far more gentle on both of you than expected. Good on you for fostering and loving little creatures until their forever people come along. <3

I have the utmost respect for fosterers, because a) I could never do it as I get far too attached/emotional, and b) I prefer to adopt from rescues/fostering programs because I know they’ve received so much love and care previously.

Oh, Shae! Thank you for fostering, and know that you did a great thing for that kitty and she WILL adjust and be so happy!

We fostered twice, and the first time was Sam (our dog now) and his mom and siblings. It was SO HARD to say goodbye to his brother and sister. It was so hard to pick just one to keep and heartwrenching to let the others go but they have had a good life.

Hugs to you on this difficult day!

<3 You guys are awesome for fostering! One of my cats was in a shelter for a whole year before I adopted him. I always feel sad when I think about that year, and I wish he could have had an amazing foster family instead!

Shae

Thanks so much for the encouragement, everyone! Everything went well on Sunday (as in I didn’t cry while the adopter was at my house), and I’ve gotten updates every couple of days which really helps. Her first two nights were hard for her, as expected, but she started opening up a bit on Tuesday. Now she’s demanding her snuggles and pets, so I know she’ll be just fine. I still open the curtains each morning and expect to see her in her favorite spot by the window. I miss her, but I know she’s getting so much love right now.

Evol – I can’t say it was gentle but we made it. Thanks for the love. <3

Mastress Alita – I hear a lot of people say they could never foster because they would get too attached, but if that were the case you’d have to count me out! I cried nearly nonstop from Friday to Tuesday. We become invested in our foster kitties. I hear the trick is to immediately go and get another foster, but I haven’t tried that yet. :D

ashmanra – I feel for you! I know it’s so hard, even when you know they are going to happy homes. We love them like they are our own. ((hugs))

AJ – I think about that too. I wish so much that I could have gotten to them sooner, before they had to experience some of the things they did. At least we have them now and know they’ll be loved for the rest of their days. <3

Just came across this note from last year and wanted to give an update. I keep in touch with Holly’s mom and she really IS living her best life. She is so loved!

I actually got the second steep on this tea, my roommate made the first, I have had this on the first steep before though so I shall compare the two.
Steep 1: Lots of strawberry, mildly earthy nothing overpowering in the pu’erh. I really am a huge fan of strawberry so I loved it.
Steep 2: Almost no strawberry present. It has a strong earth taste, though it’s not bad I was just disappointed that my roommate got all the strawberry taste out of it. It almost has an astringent taste.
I recommend only steeping this once.

Mmm. I finally got this in the mail last night. It isn’t quite as good as I had remembered but still quite tasty. I think I’ll brew it a bit stronger next time. I did the 1 tsp per 6oz & it seemed a little weak.

After reading some reviews here, I agree, the strawberry does taste a bit artificial. But not terribly so. I know this is supposed to be a pu-erh & I’m thinking most people don’t add milk to their pu-erhs but milk and a little rock sugar goes so well with this tea. I’m thinking this probably isn’t a very great pu-erh in the first place though, so I’m deeming milk to be okay!

This tastes kind of malty & sweet. It smells spectacular & is very comforting to drink.

This tea has a fruity smell and flavor. No unpleasant aftertaste. I use 1 1/2 to 2 tsp for 8oz of water. Can steep up to 3 times. Very relaxing tea. Might make a good iced tea for summer.

One of my favorite teas. I tried this one out on a whim cause I love strawberries and Pu-Erh is good for you. Glad I did because it’s now on the top of my list. It’s very smooth and the strawberry flavor is wonderful! It also has a good pre-steeped smell. I always add a bit of honey to mine because I feel it boosts the pu-erh and mellows the strawberry.

This is a great starter pu-erh. I wish this would have been my first pu-erh trial. I started with a plain pu-erh. Now with the lightness of trying this, I’m going to go back and try my plain pu-erh with a different attitude.

As for tasting, has a nice light strawberries and cream essence, but the pu-erh shines through nice and delicately. First sip is nasal strawberry. Some light musty pu-erh notes, then an acidic or is it alkalinic? After taste on your tongue like when you test a 9 volt battery. Some metallic irony hints as well. This was the only tea I really liked out of my first Teavana purchase.

I actually brewed 3 minutes (slider doesn’t work well on mobile) and water temp about 1 minute after I stopped the boil.
