I picked this tea up in my Birthday Haul from meadow hall a few weeks back and I've really been loving this blend! It's been right next to my kettle where all my 'go-to' teas are left. I really wasn't expecting to like this blend much, and I honestly only bought it for the smell and because my aim is to try teas out of my comfort zone this year. I've never been a fan of the whole 'strawberries and cream' fad, not even when Wimbledon is on! 

It brews to quite a deep red/pinky colour due to the strawberry granules and hibiscus, and the smell is heavenly. It's sweet, creamy and definitely fruity! 

The flavour was just something else. It was definitely one of the nicest fruit teas I've tried in quite a while, I've been steering clear of fruit teas recently and more towards black teas so it was nice to go back to an old favourite in something so delicious. I really didn't know what to expect when I first tried it but I definitely did not see the creamy flavour coming. The yoghurt crisps really add a sweet, smooth creamy flavour and texture to this brew which gave it extra depth and stand out in a cluster of teas so similar. 

Although I'm overloaded with fruit teas and they're in abundance at supermarkets and on every shelf I really think T2 Strawberries and Cream is a staple cupboard type fruit tea. It has everything you'd want from a fruit tea. It's also awesome iced too!! I have cold brewed this in my new T2 Jug-A-Lot. I much prefer it hot, but I am very much a hot tea person, but iced it is delicious nonetheless.
