Thé aux Fraises des Champs

The dry leaf aroma is pure strawberry candy, but once steeped, the Darjeeling and Sri Lankan blacks give it a proper tea backbone that keeps it from feeling like juice. Threw in a splash of cold milk and it tasted like a summer dessert I didn't have to bake.

I usually drink plain black tea, but this Darjeeling and Sri Lankan blend with sweet strawberry has completely won me over — the fruitiness is there without being candy-like, and it’s become my afternoon go-to.

The strawberry flavor comes through naturally without being cloying, and the Darjeeling base gives it a nice floral lift. I've been brewing it every afternoon since the box arrived and it's genuinely become my favorite way to take a break.
