Wild Strawberry

Very nice. A bit tart. Will add a bit of sugar next time.

I’m glad that I took enough of this tea to try it iced as well as hot, because cold it’s miles away a better drink. I did it up the lazy way where I brewed a cup, sweetened it with a spoonful of local honey and let it cool in the fridge. It literally tastes like fresh strawberries were juiced into my glass. I’m not sure whether it was the temperature or the honey that tamed the hibiscus but thankfully it’s barely an afterthought. So tasty and thirst-quenching. I’ll have to buy more now that Adagio has (finally!) lowered their international shipping rates.

First off, it smells terrific! Like candy and super fresh strawberries!!

First impression: very bitter, incredibly bland. Use more tsp or less water next time?
After adding sugar: tart, fruity, a bite of bitter. Good herbal tea, but kind of weak- not much of a bouquet, but still good.

Jeweled Thumb was kind enough to add some of her healthy lemonade teas into the TTB for us all to try: a combination of Adagio’s Green Citron, Wild Strawberry, and Lemongrass. Being lazy and not wanting to wait for the water to cool to brew the green, I altered the recipe and did two parts wild strawberry and one part lemongrass and then poured it over ice. The result? A fruity start to the sip which slowly gives way to a touch of hibby tartness only to end on a crisp lemon note. It’s actually quite interesting though I feel I may have been better off going with a 1:1 ratio of each tea. Ultimately I probably won’t drink this again but it was certainly fun to try. Thanks Jeweled Thumb!

All the sample sipdowns! Thank you to whoever sent me this one. I cold brewed it for about 24 hours. The funny thing is this tastes exactly like a summer strawberry. It’s got that light sweet tart\juiciness thing going on. The juicy sweetness hits first and then a light tartness lingers for a second. Very refreshing! I’d love to mix this with some lemonade in the summer!

This tastes like Ed Hardy perfume smells and not in a good way.

Freaking love this blend. It is, currently, my go-to dessert tea. Sweet and juicy, it’s a slap of strawberry. Drinking it by itself is almost like drinking syrup (in my head, it’s not that sweet!). It begs to be mixed with something. I’m going to have to find strawberry adagio blends. :)

A fav of mine.

I really enjoyed making this into iced tea. It definitely tasted like strawberry. I prefer the tang of the raspberry a bit better, though.

Really enjoyed this tea! I put in a little honey to counteract the tartness of the strawberry flavor, and it was perfect. Yum.

I received this as a free sample with my order. I really enjoy this tea. It is sweet with a lot of tart, but you can bring out the sweetness easily with a little bit of amber sugar crystals. It is good hot, but even better iced.
