Caffeine Factor: Caffeine-free Organic Ingredients: 100% Price Range: £7.50 Cups Per Box: 40 (approx.)Review: A long list of ingredients all clearly aimed at women (flowers mixed with hibiscus), worryingly finished with that ambiguous favourite: 'flavour'.
As the name promises, you can really smell the strawberry when you brew this. It's tart and a little like candy. The taste, though, is more of hibiscus than strawberry. To liven it up a bit, we tried it cold, but it tasted quite watery. The remaining ingredients don't stand out much against that hibiscus backdrop; they may as well not be in there.
As ever with T2, remember that although it costs £7.50 a box, each box makes approximately 40 cups of tea; and as it's a tisane, you can get away with topping it up with boiling water to make a second (albeit slightly weaker) cup, meaning you can stretch the box to make around 80 cups. But that's a lot of tea, so you have to love the flavour to make this a worthwhile investment. Sadly, we don't think this one is much better than a cheap berry tea like Sainsbury's Blackberry & Blueberry.
Best time of year to drink this: Spring / summer (especially if chilled).
Best time of day to drink this: Afternoon / evening.
