A smooth blend of Murchie's Ceylon and Keemun teas with the flavour and aroma of fresh ripe BC strawberries plus creamy and delicious vanilla.
Smooth and naturally slightly sweet without milk; with milk the creaminess factor is off the charts. Also try it iced or as an iced tea latte, just divine!

Dessert Review by Kristin
This is is exactly what it sounds like. It smells like fresh strawberries at the grocery store that you buy regardless of the price because they smell intoxicating. Very creamy. Good anytime, but especially when you are trying to impress someone.

The vanilla and strawberry flavours in this tea go together so nicely to create a smooth, creamy, and fruity delight. Add a bit of milk and you may actually be tricked into thinking you are drinking a slice of strawberry shortcake!

Steeping the Best (Guide)
Different types of teas should be steeped according to certain times and water temperatures to bring out their best flavours. Use this guide as a starting point, and then experiment until you find the perfect brewing method for your favourite tea.
Based on approximately one level teaspoon (2.5 g) of loose tea or one tea bag per 6-8 ounce (180-240 mL) cup. For stronger flavour, add more tea. Brewing for longer may increase the strength of the tea, but will likely also cause bitterness.
Tea Bags vs. Loose Tea
While our tea bags and loose tea are crafted to match the same flavour profile, there are discernable effects between the two formats. Namely, the leaves inside tea bags is milled, making it much finer and a quicker brew, while loose tea can take a couple minutes longer to steep. Tea bags are very convenient, but loose tea can be more visually appealing and brewed with a reusable infuser.
- Tea bags: steep for 3 - 4 minutes
- Loose tea: steep for 4 - 5 minutes
General Steeping Temperatures
The table included here shows some general guidelines for steeping different kinds of tea. Be mindful that some teas, even two from the same category, will brew differently than others. In particular, our green-black blends will often have different ratios of green and black teas - the more green-leaning ones should be brewed at a lower temperature range. Experimentation is highly encouraged, as tea is very much a matter of personal taste.
Puerh and oolong teas are often steeped multiple times for a shorter period of time in smaller brewing vessels. This method creates a curious exploration of the tea as it unfurls, developing new flavours with each subsequent brew - often making for great social conversation.
If you're unsure, try steeping in the middle range for your tea type. If the result is too bitter, steep at a lower temperature or for a shorter time. If the result is flat, try a higher temperature.
