Background:
TeaGschwendner has very high quality teas. The others I have sampled have been extraordinary. With anticipation I look forward to trying this flavored white. I enjoy strawberry flavored whites. I have tried at least two other ones from different manufacturers. This will be interesting to compare. The sample clearly had whole dried strawberries in the tea. The smell of the tea was not particularly strawberry like but rather had a sweet fruit component which must be from the flavoring. The white tea leaves look absolutely wonderful.

Brewing:
Brewed for about 4 minutes with two teaspoons for about 10 ounces of water.

Taste/Impressions:
A faint smell of strawberries is distinct in the brewed tea. It is interesting how the strawberry is such a small part of the overall taste. The tea has a wonderful white tea base. Clearly this is a very high quality tea. White tea has a delicate flavor that makes a nice compliment to many flavors. The strawberry flavoring is a wonderful compliment to white tea. In this example, the flavors are nicely balanced. The strawberry comes through late in the taste profile. The initial and middle part of each taste is mostly white tea in my opinion.

I wonder whether other companies use as high a quality white tea base as TeaGschwendner does. I think it makes a difference. Blends are interesting. I like them, but it can be hard getting them right. Well this is one that has.
Conclusion:
I like this tea. This has already made to purchase list for my next order. This has a nice tea flavor with a nice addition of strawberry. A well formulated blend that I recommend. Not to strong on the strawberry with a nice white tea. Enjoy.
