Story

Strawberries are indigenous to both the northern and southern hemispheres. They are first mentioned in the writings of Cato, a famed Roman Senator. In the 12th Century, however, they were declared unfit to eat. The reason given? Strawberries grow too close to the ground, and are contaminated by the snakes and toads that may have touched them. Thankfully, this proscription had since been lifted, and strawberries are safe (and legal) to eat once again.

"This starts out smelling mouthwateringly good in the bag and it just gets better from there!"

"A lot of times, berry flavors are poorly done with tea but this is not one of them. Although it doesnt perfectly simulate the taste of a strawberry, it is an enjoyable homage "

"Strawberry is a hard flavor to get right. Either it tastes fake and over-sweet or it tastes like children's cough medicine. Adagio's strawberry flavoring manages to do neither. The taste is beautiful sun-warm berries. The tea blends well with chocolate chip for a delightful dessert tea, but my absolute favorite is a 60/40 strawberry/cream black tea combo sweetened with a mild honey or turbinado sugar. I have only two complaints and one really isn't. The Ceylon base leaves a little to be desired and goes bitter and astringent very easily. And I want Adagio to use their strawberry flavoring on a white tea!"

"Right off the bat, this tea reminded me of those hard strawberry candies with the soft center. Fruity, candy-like aroma that's also brought out with a little bit of sugar. Great for satisfying a sweet tooth."

"My current favorite. Tastes like actual strawberries, not artificial as with most strawberry flavors."

"I love this tea. I've actually cut back drinking it because I can't reorder right now but I am addicted. It's got the right amount of sweet and berry to make it perfect. I love it in the afternoon. "
