A sweet, fruity herbal tea with ripe berries and lemon.
1. Heat water to 208˚F.
2. Place tea in cup and pour water over the leaves.
3. Steep for 5-7 minutes.
4. Enjoy!
For loose leaf iced teas, use 3 tsp per 8oz glass and double the steep time.
Of all the teas in the herbal sampler, I predicted this would be one of my favorites. But oddly it turned out fairly faint and kind of dead, like the ghost of a tea that was once good. It's like the flavor was baked out of it. I was expecting strawberry, apple, and lemon notes, but only got a hint of tired old apple, both on the nose and on the palate. It almost made me wonder if it was an old sample. If you get one, I recommend you steep double the recommended time. I tried that with my second sachet and it improved a bit. Not as much as hoped, but some. I wonder if this one would benefit from some chamomile rather than the linden leaf listed in the ingredients, just to add something with a bit of apple echo and friendlier flavor. But either way, they need to bump up the strawberry for sure or they can't call it Strawberry Apple.
One of my favorites. Not a tea lover but I do have a couple of flavors of Tea Forte that I enjoy. Wish I could buy this in a canister!!!! Please!!!
