The tea has a wonderful aroma before steeping but loses that scent once steeped. There is no strawberry flavour to the tea despite allowing extra time to steep. There is an abundance of heavy green leaves that overpower the entire taste of the tea. I am very disappointed in this product.
I noticed the wonderful strawberry scent before I even opened the canister. While the scent is STRAWBERRY I found the favor to be - strawberry - a more subtle version. I tried it with just a drop of honey and actually didn't like it. I much prefer the tea on its own. I imagine it will be great this summer as an iced tea as another option.
I am a regular tea drinker, and I love many of Tea Forte's products, but THIS tea is just bitter and gross. I wish I could have my money back. Ick. The opposite of smooth. Really not pleasant in the slightest.
