white strawberry basil

White tea from China with inherent melon notes makes a tasty base for this homage to the fabulous strawberry. Ever popular, strawberries can lift the spirit and please the palate. In this complex blend with strawberry overtones and a hint of vanilla, the Queen of Berries reigns supreme.

      Love the strawberry basil pairing. Nice fruity blend.

      This tea is so good! I love it hot or cold-brewed. Wonderful mix of fruit and herbal nuances. So refreshing!!

      This tea is great hot or iced. Sweet with a hint of savory, it tastes the way it feels to lay in the summer sun on a freshly-mown lawn. Delicious and refreshing!

      This tea is so great as an iced tea. It has a subtle flavor. It is great with some light agave syrup added to it.

    • 

      Wow, an unexpectedly excellent combination! It's warm and earthy with hints of sweetness and peppery-green notes intermingling. Though I've only had it served hot, I'm sure it would taste incredible chilled, too.

      Better to cold-brew this. Warm, the basil becomes way too prominent for my liking, but when cold-brewed it takes a backseat to the strawberry. Much nicer in my opinion.

    • 

      My rating is for cold brewing this tea. Cold brewing really makes the strawberry pop, and makes the basil a lovely accent. A perfect iced tea that is very refreshing. Prepared hot, it disappointed me and would get 2.5 stars. The strawberry comes through, but it has a mild generic herb flavor in the background, which isn't very pleasant and does not taste like basil.

      I love the slight melon taste with the strong strawberry flavor with a mild basil taste. This tea is perfect hot or iced. The iced strawberry basil is mild but has a candied like flavor to the tea.

    • 

      I was surprised to find that this tea was so delicious. The strawberry flavor is strong but has a savory underlay that is perfectly balanced. I had to have more of this tea! I steeped at 175 degrees for 3 minutes and needed no sweetener.

      This tea is naturally sweet and excellent hot or iced. The basil is a unique and fun twist on a strawberry tea.

    • 

      Lightly sweet and fully bodied herbaceous flavor. The strawberry combined with the floral elements tastes a little tart and a little sweet while the basil and lemongrass come through at the end with the mellow white tea flavor. I enjoyed this warm, but I'm sure it'd also be great iced or cold brewed.

      This is my favorite white tea. The balance between the strawberry and the basil is fantastic.

      It's - for lack of a better phrase - magically delicious.

      Very unique and refreshing tea! You can taste both the strawberry and the basil, though the basil is stronger. A dried basil, not fresh, which does have a different flavor. Great iced and hot, one of my go to white teas from adagio.

    • 

      Honestly I didn’t know what to expect so I went into the tasting with no expectations. While hot it was unappealing, cold the flavors really stand out.

    • 

      This is an honest favorite. The strawberry is nice and soft but the basil shines during the hot cups. When cold, the berry shines through

      so many nice flavors = love the white teas; love strawberries, and the subtlety of basil is v nice !

      Loved this mild tasting blend, although I did not experience any of the basil flavor.

      Tried this one in a CommuniTEA packet. Very nice blend. Smooth, tart and soft and a little sweet with a nice strawberry aroma. Slightly anise tasting basil flavor, and really tasty.

    • 

      This is so lovely. Strawberries and basil work really well. White teas can be hit or miss but not this one. I added sugar. I had it hot and also had it cold and enjoyed it both ways.

    • 

      I loved this tea. It was light and refreshing. Mild strawberry flavor and finished with a hint of basil. A really nice spring or summer afternoon tea.

    • 

      This tisane is a wonderful option for kids, or for times when caffeine is out of the question. It's not basil heavy but isn't just strawberry either.

      Nice fruity white tea. I normally hate teas with hibiscus in them, but for some reason it doesn't bother me in this tea.

      Yum! This is a great blend, hot or iced. The basil is refreshing and not overpowering. Definitely a summer staple!

      Very good but not much presence of the basil. Good for a delicate white option

      Not enough basil in this blend, but the strawberry flavor is top notch as usual.

    • 

      Im not usually a big fan of basil in tea, but this blend works pretty well.

    • 

      I don't care for basil in my teas, but if you like basil, then you will probably like this one. The strawberry flavor is pronounced and does blend well with the basil without the basil being too overpowering. Not something I will order again, but I did finish the sample.

      I can drink this one iced, but it is not one that I will repurchase. The strawberry flavor comes though, but the rest seems a little muddled.
