Sweet, fragrant and summery, our Strawberry Black Tea is premium Ceylon tea blended with natural flavors of sweet strawberries.

History & Heritage

The base of this blend is Ceylon tea from Sri Lanka, where the first tea field was planted by Scottish planter James Taylor in 1867. When coffee rust devastated the island's coffee plantations, planters turned to tea, and Ceylon's bright, brisk black teas became famous worldwide. Their lively character is a natural match for fruit flavors.

Interesting Facts

• The base tea is a Pekoe grade grown at 4,800 to 7,600 feet and made in the orthodox style.

Tasting Notes & Pairings

With just the right amount of natural flavoring, this tea brews an aromatic strawberry cup that is excellent both hot and iced. A drop of milk and a dash of sugar can bring out more of the wonderful strawberry flavor. Pair it with shortcake, chocolate desserts, or a brunch spread.

Brewing tips (general guideline): use 1 rounded teaspoon (about 2–3 g) per 8 oz of freshly boiled water (205–212°F), steeped 3–5 minutes. Adjust to taste.
