Sweet strawberry and sugared rhubarb aroma, beautiful warm color, pleasantly aromatic and not super sweet.

Very aromatic, from the moment I opened the packet, during the steeping process, until the cup was empty.
I wasn't sure I would like a strawberry tea. 180 steep for 12 minutes. Swish in the mouth to cover my entire pallet with the flavor. Not as sweet as I imagined. No bitterness. A little bit tart.
This would be great at any temp. Adding to my favs.
A great strawberry tea! Sometimes, strawberry can taste fake or medicinal. This one tastes fabulous, with a nice balance of earthiness and fruit. Very aromatic and a lovely hit tea.
This tea is amazing cold brewed! It’s sweet and tangy and refreshing.
This tea is a sip of summertime. Hibiscus tartness is present up front, quickly fading into delicate, juicy strawberry flavors with a pleasantly sugary finish. Hibiscus really compliments the strawberry here, boosting its sweetness.
This tea was amazing tea. The smell was amazing, and the taste was just as good. Like a fresh cup of strawberries.
I was skeptical of the strawberry flavor as the smell is overwhelmingly hibiscus and I didn't see many strawberry pieces in the packet but the end result was a tart, sweet strawberry flavored cup that is truly great without any sweetener.
8/19/2021: Strong strawberry aroma and steeps to a rosy red tea. I did a cold steep, and found the tea to be somewhat tart from the hibiscus. Adding sweetener brought the strawberry flavor to the forefront. Refreshing.
Updated 3/19/2022: Blended this tea 1:1 with a plain black, steeped at 190°F x 2 minutes. It added a rich strawberry flavor to my tea, which needed no sweetener. Delicious.
A little tart, a little sweet, but best cold! Makes and excellent iced or add some coconut milk and ice for a 'pink drink'. So good!!!
I saved this CT packet for later in the day & I managed to forget about it resulting in a 2 hour infusion. Since it cooled down I poured it over ice and added a splenda packet. Wowza, Wild Strawberry blend is now in my top 3 Herbal blend favorites list! Love love love! Tastes like fresh picked summer strawberries.
This blend smells like summer! I cold brewed this one and it will be perfect for those hot summer days when you need to cool off and unwind. Bright strawberry flavor that's tart and just a little bit of natural sweetness with refreshing floral notes from the hibiscus. I mixed with some cream black iced tea for some caffeine and I think this will become one of my go to cold brew mixtures.
This tisane shines as an iced tea. It is refreshing, flavorful and a beautiful red in a clear glass. Enjoying with the Communitea today.
This aptly named tea is bursting with ripe strawberry from the dry ingredients. Once steeped for 5 mins at 212° F, the strawberry fragrance is really released. When taking a sip, you are enveloped with strawberry scents. As the liquid hits you tongue, you notice a quite tart and present hibiscus flavor. The strawberry flavors are present, but not as sweet as you might expect based on the nose. If you prefer tart to sweet, this is definitely your tea! This tea also makes a wonderful cold steeped tea, which tames the tart hibiscus.
Couldn't even finish the cup. But I hate strawberries so that's on me. If you like strawberries I'm sure its great!
CommuniTEA 3/19/22: this is one of my current favorites from Adagio! I usually make it iced for the summer, but it's also good hot. Cold brew brings out more of the strawberry flavor and tartness from the hibiscus. Hot, it tastes more vaguely fruity and rounded. You can also mix it with lemonade for a delicious punch. 10/10 will always repurchase in large quantities.
This tea was excellent. When it was streping it reminded me of kool aid. It did have a little tartness but thats great.
The strawberry flavor in this is quite strong, which I'm sure is nice if you like strawberry (I don't).
This tart strawberry tea was a welcome sip this morning. Opening the CT packet, I immediately smelled the strawberry. I brewed according to packet directions and was welcomed with a stunning pink colored tea which I found a little too tart without sweetener. However, adding a little honey did the trick to make this a delicious tea that I would definitely drink again. I would like to try it as an iced tea, as many have suggested, but it will have to wait until another time.
I decided to try this as a cold brew and it was 100% the way to go. It tasted like a fruit juice without all the additives. Light and refreshing, this would be great to keep in the fridge all summer long for little ones. Or little ones at heart!
CommuniTEA portion: The aroma when opening the package was heavenly! Brewed for 5-6 minutes at 212. Wonderful spring color! Just honestly too tart for me. Reading others reviews, I think I need to give it another try over ice or cold brew.
Today's CommuniTea packet is wild strawberry with rose hips, hibiscus, apple pieces, strawberry flavor, strawberries and raspberry leaves. Strawberry scent is stong in the packet. This is a great tea to cold brew. It brews to a lovely clear red and it's really refreshing to drink on a warm day. I'm not as fond of it as a hot drink. Steeped in 10 oz of cold water overnight.
A refreshing strawberry scent that carry through with the first sip. A perfect spring day tea.
So fragrant and delicious! This aromatic and flavorful tea tastes like a cupfull of summer. So juicy and bursting with flavor.
To me, even the Hibiscus couldn’t cut the sweetness of this tea. Entirely too sweet for my taste but then I don’t add anything to my teas so a little sweetness goes a long, long way. I am thinking the issue might have been that my packet had a lot of apple bits in it, perhaps more raspberry leaves or hibiscus would have lessened the sweetness. On the positive side the color was beautiful.
If you like the sweet & sour taste of hibiscus-fruit teas, you'll probably like this one. This isn't a flavour that I enjoy, but I can appreciate why others do.
This reminds me of Strawberry shortcake or Schaum torte, esp when you add some fruit honey and milk. Good hot or cold.
I brewed this at 212°F for 5min. It was a very pretty pink-red color. I loved the tart strawberry flavor, I think it creates a nice balanced tea. I did sweeten it with a little honey, but I pretty much always add some honey to my teas.
I enjoyed this the most cold brewed rather than hot. The flavors melded together overnight and produced a wonderful iced version...
My mom and I love this fruity wild strawberry fantastic tea. This tea served hot is for people who like fruity herbal teas. I prefer this tea as an iced tea (cold brew overnight) for a smooth, refreshing, but a bit tart and has a sweet strawberry flavor.
Knowing that I tend to find hibiscus too sour in hot teas I put this in the fridge for around 10 hours to cold brew with a bit of sweetener. The result was delicious. A playful fruity flavor, the strawberry was there, but was more 'strawberry inspired' than off the vine tasting to me. That withstanding, I liked it a lot!
I'm enjoying this hot (steeped 6 min), but definitely see this being a lovely iced tea as well. It's perfectly fruity, got some good zing, and the rose isn't overwhelming. Yum!
Dry, this tisane releases a strong aroma of strawberry candy rather than fresh strawberries. Cold-brewed and sweetened, the vibrant red liquor still gives off a scent reminiscent of strawberry candy, but the flavor subtly suggests a slightly fresher strawberry taste thanks to the hibiscus, which gives its characteristic tartness even cold-brewed. Undoubtedly, this blend is better cold than hot.
Updated review:Love this tea cold brewed and iced.
Last time I had this tea I steeped it in hot water. This time I infused it in cold water. I really enjoyed the tea this time. The tartness mellowed down and it is a refreshing cool tea. So I am learning some of the teas I may dislike are due to my steeping errors. Glad this tea came up in the CommuniTea or I may have never tried it again.
Old review : I was looking forward to trying this tea. The hibiscus was overpowering and the tea was very sour. Added some honey and then some more honey. Way too tart for me. It looked gorgeous and had a very nice aroma. If you enjoy very tart tea this one will satisfy.
Lovely strawberry taste and scent. Pretty pink color, too. Light and refreshing!
8/19/21 - This has become one of my favorite add-ins for black tea. Lovely strawberry taste and scent. One of my favorites!
3/19/2022 - still a favorite! I love this tea mixed with a variety of black and oolong teas for cold brew or hot tea. Smells wonderful and adds the perfect amount of strawberry flavor. :)
This brews up to a beautiful, red, delicious cup of tea. Hibiscus and rose hips are most prominent, giving the tea nice, tart flavor. Strawberries are more subtle. Excellent cup of tea.
Wonderful strawberry flavor, bright and refreshing. Was a bit cautious about the rose flavor, but the tastes blended together very well.
Usually I don't care for the fruity herbal teas as they are too tart, but this one was just right, strawberry flavor was perfect! Beautiful red full cup of berry!
Ordered a full pound I loved this so much! The aroma is like candy.
Tastes like artificial strawberry to me, it pretty fragrant.
I this tea is so fruity. I usually have this before bedtime since.
i only like some herbal teas and this is one! smells like heaven when you open the bag! @adagioteas
My husband is not m7ch of an herbal tea drinker but he loves strawberry and this hits the spot for him
I love this tea. I use more per cup than recommended but that’s just me.
This tea has a lovely bright berry flavor without any excessive tartness. It’s especially tasty when mixed with a chocolate tea
I have to put this delicious tea right up there with my absolute favorite, Berry Compote. It is amazing and such a pretty 'strawberry' color!
This one tastes just like a strawberry fruit roll up! Absolutely yummy!
Fantastic strawberry flavor and not synthetic at all. Very fresh and a great tea hot or cold. Personally I think it's better cold because that brings out the strawberry notes more and tones down the sourness a bit but it's good either way. I also blend this tea with the black cream tea or a vanilla tea for a a sweet dessert like treat.
Just perfect with a touch of Splenda! Nice blend of flavors smells great and taste great too! Definitely a keeper!
Lovely strong, fruity tea,- very balanced and drinkable. No caffeine means its great for any time of day.
This is a great dessert tea. I add honey or sugar depending on what I'm in the mood for. I give it a 4 because it can be a little bitter.
Sweet juicy this tea did not disappoint and was absolutely perfect iced as well as hot.
