Brand: Teavana
Primary Type: White
Dry Scent: Sweet with the scents of sun-warmed strawberries and juicy pineapple, but with a hint of grassy white tea and notes of buttered popcorn adding richness.
Steeping Time: 2-3 min
Steeped Flavour: Again, sweet, but with just enough hibiscus tartness to keep from being sickly-sweet. The strawberry is very much evident, but the scent of the brewed tea carries much more of the popcorn flavour, and the tea does as well, flowing over the tongue with a buttery sort of sweetness. There is a rich mouthfeel to this tea, and the flavours all play very nicely together.
Food/Drink Pairings: This could be iced as a picnic tea, but I like it as an after-dinner treat with something light and sweet, like mirangues. <3
Rating out of Six Tails:
5.5/6
Buy/Don't Buy
Like most white teas, especially from Teavana, this isn't particularly cheap, but it's definitely worth the buy in this case. Yum.
