The vanilla and strawberry are perfectly balanced here, not one drowning out the other, and the black tea base gives it a nice depth that makes me want another cup as soon as the pot's empty. It really does taste like the start of a strawberry shortcake, but without the sugar crash.

Brewed a cup this afternoon and the strawberry comes through sweet without being fake, while the vanilla rounds it out nicely. It’s spot-on for a warm dessert tea, and the black tea base keeps it from feeling too sugary.

The dry leaves smell like strawberry shortcake and once steeped the creamy vanilla rounds out the fruit without turning it artificial. I brew it hot with a splash of milk and it genuinely tastes like dessert in a mug.
