A largely unoffending blend, the mixing are well blended and the strawberry and basil aren't as prominent as I was expecting.
The bright flavors of strawberry mingle with the roundness of basil make a perfect combo brewed both hot or iced.

The basil came out stronger then the strawberry on this in my opinion. It's good, but not my favorite.
With Spring time here, I love iced teas. I have been buying a strawberry white tea blend from a company, but the cost has sky- rocketed in the past 4 years, so I've been looking for one that is similar.
This blend is quite good.
The hibiscus is the prominent flavor with a fist brew - tart sweet. Subsequent brewing have had only a hint of the hibiscus.
I have been able to get 3-4 brewings with this blend. The flavor of the white tea comes through more with each subsequent steep.
I will be purchasing again.
Very good tea i love it
!!!
this tea is okay hot, you definitely get the strawberry and the basil flavors coming through. I really recommend using it as an iced tea though, it's quite refreshing
I had really high hopes for this tea but it is so mild, it is really hard to taste the individual flavors. I was worried the basil might be overpowering but I can't even taste it.
This one was a bit of a miss for me. The only flavor I detected was raspberry, from the leaves, and maybe a faint hint of lemon. I also mistakenly steeped at higher than recommended temp, and I suppose that could’ve affected my lack of flavor. I will try this again, probably in summer as an iced tea.
this ones a lot better than i thought. the basil really came through. i iced it and steeped it fod about 30.
I enjoyed this tea a lot more than I expected to- the combo of white tea with basil is actually really good! I'm glad I gave this tea a shot.
Loveeeeeee this for a white tea choice. Delicious and delicate. Perfect for afternoons so you don’t stay awake at night.
The strawberry is not as sweet as i was wanting while the basil was just a bit too strong which just felt a bit unbalanced.
This tea is great hot or cold, morning or evening. Just a touch of strawberry sweetness. My green tea go to.
Fairly mild flavored tea. I wish the basil flavor came through a little more, but it was still really good
Not bad, but not delicious. Not too sure about basil in my tea… the strawberry was great though
A very nice and unexpected flavor combination, I was pleased I didn't get a whole lot of hibiscus is my portion, the basil was somewhat subtle but there, I got a lot of strawberry and lemon out of my cup, very nice
This one hits a ton of flavors that I love that are so times on people's won't drink list. I enjoy hibiscus and it was present and light here as was the lemongrass just helping give that tartness to accent the strawberry dominating the tea. I also enjoy rose hips and again present, but faint here. If I could give half stars this would definitely hit 4.5 for me as I like basil and would like to have seen it just a bit more present since it was in the name. I always find white teas very light and sometimes too light for my personal preference, but I do look forward to trying this one iced next time around maybe bring my own basil to the mix. 180° 3 min
I love strawberry and I love basil and it’s a nice relaxing blend but I can’t shake the thought that it’s a little bit like spaghetti sauce
This tea is ok. I could taste the strawberry and a hint of basil. It was very weak, maybe I added too much water.
I really enjoyed this tea quite a bit. The hibiscus wasnt overpowering and the basil was refreshingly present, there was even something a bit peppery in the sip. I think I'd like to try this cold sometime.
At first I wasn't sure about the basil especially since the tea was very basil-forward once brewed, but by the end of the cup I quite enjoyed it. Brewed for 4 minutes with 1 Splenda packet.
A curious blend of spring flavors. Sweet strawberry and strong basil. Fascinating.
I very much enjoyed today's communiTEA iced! Strawberry is more prominent with basil and lemongrass in the background. The overall combination is delicious and better iced than hot.
this is a fantastically bright and unique tea, great for summer sipping... and likely a fun cold brew as well! The hint of basil changes the strawberry profile just enough to pull together a more refined experience than a basic sweet strawberry.
Such an intriguing tea! The flavors of strawberry and basil already complement each other well and the white tea really allows them to shine here! The sweet and gentle tartness of strawberry is prominent and accurate and are highlighted by the earthy notes of basil. This tea is so complex and interesting, I will definitely be stocking up on it!
CommuniTEA sample, 3 min @ 180 F. I was surprised by how much I liked this tea! I think strawberries and basil are a good combination, and the lemongrass really helps complement them both, having herbal qualities as well as fruity qualities! And, I really appreciate that you can taste the white tea beneath it all, it's subtle, but it's definitely there, contributing a little bit to the flavor. I was worried that it would be similar to white strawberry, but it is much fresher and more herbal tasting than that, I think it's a much better blend! I will have to try cold brewing it, because I only had it warm, but I still felt it was a really nice, enjoyable, sweet flavor!
Very summery and great with a chill vibe. Great for basil energy.
One of my favorites! I will be ordering a larger size next time!
AHHHH I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH!!! I literally drank this tea every day until I was out. It rebrews nicely as well!! Definitely worth trying if you like fruity teas that don't scream fruity.
Can't go wrong with strawberry basil is smells just as good as it tastes. Great for summer
This tea is amazing. If I could split the rating, it'd score a little lower as a hot tea, but still. We make huge batches of this, then chill it and serve it as iced tea through much of the summer. It doesn't need sweetening and our guests always love it.
I wanted to try it because I have had these two flavors before but not in tea. Was pleasantly surprised and it was so good. Light and refreshing. Recommended.
A pleasant, light, sweet white. I don't get much basil flavor, but the strawberry is nice. This might be nice iced in the summer.
White Strawberry Basil tea was enjoyable. Loved it!
A very underwhelming blend, neither the strawberry nor basil notes are very strong resulting in the tea only having a vague herbal flavor.
The strawberry and basil tones are noticeable, which doesn't always happen with herbal teas. This has become my favorite bed time tea.
This is no longer my favorite for strawberry tea. Even though I often combine strawberries and basil in my cooking, this does not work in my tea. Once upon a time, I thought it was great. Now that I have tried the plain white strawberry tea, I have changed my opinion.
I love this tea! Light and still packed with flavor without being overpowering. I only wish I had ordered more…next time.
Tastes like summer! Wonderful hot or iced (I prefer this tea iced). Very light and refreshing. I recommend letting it steep til cooled if having it iced
I’m not usually a hibiscus fan at ALL, but i enjoy this tea a lot! definitely wait for the water to cool to 180 to avoid it being bitter and weird.
I have to admit I was surprised how much I like this tea, while it's fruity from the strawberry, it has a crisp finish from the basil and lemon grass. However, don't let this over steep or the lemon grass can take over the whole flavor profile.
This tea is one of my favorites its such a smooth tea with a delicous sweet and savory flavor one if my go to tea
I really enjoy the white strawberry basil. It’s funny how many different things blend so well with basil. This is a nice flavorful tea that I enjoy on warmer days.
The taste was extremely light. This was the first time to try it. I’m not sure if I expected more strawberry or basil flavor to come through?
The “basil” in this tea had me nervous, I won’t lie. If you’re put off by it, don’t be. I was so pleasantly surprised by this! Amazing aroma and taste.
I received a free sample of this tea and subsequently bought a big bag. It is a very light bright refreshing tea with slight fruity notes from the strawberry and almost a minty sensation from the basil. Sounds odd but it is very nice even without any sweetener. It is also very good cold.
This is tasty. The strawberry and basil are there but they are further in the background than I was hoping. I was especially hoping to get more basil on the nose.
Very pleasant taste! The white tea is a nice base for the basil flavor. It's not a strong flavor of strawberry but you definitely taste the basil.
I enjoyed this as an afternoon pick me up. It had more of an herbal flavor, I could not pick up the basil nor the strawberry. I did not try it iced. Prefer other flavors to this one, but I am glad that I tried it.
A great tea to enjoy on a warm summer morning. Sweat and savory. Smooth and easy to enjoy. Lower in caffeine.
tasty and refreshing and tasty it is a repeat for me - my husband enjoyed it - you will like this too!
