It's... fine? It's not bad, I found the basil to be a bit overpowering, so I'm not a huge fan of it, but I'll still happily drink it.
The bright flavors of strawberry mingle with the roundness of basil make a perfect combo brewed both hot or iced.

Light and very fragrant love for afternoon tea will purchase again
This tea is magnificent! A light tea packed with flavor which is subtle yet just strong enough. Great with or without cream.
This is really tasty. I never would have thought about using basil in tea but it is very refreshing
This is super nice, love the basil notes and the white tea base, would like to see a decaf version too
The subtlety of the basil really elevates the fruity aromas.
Definitely going to reorder a big bag of this after tasting the sample! It sounded so unusual and had such high reviews, so I had to give it a try. It is so tasty! The basil gives it an unusual twist. The lovely strawberry flavor is pronounced but balanced with the basil so not just an ordinary berry tea. It would be so good with savory treats. Also good cold. I'm going to experiment with iced tea this summer. If you're on the fence about it - give it a try! You won't regret it.
subtle and delicate strawberry forward with the basil coming on the tail end.
This tea is so delicious. I really love it. The flavour is great.
I very much loved this tea. The basil flavor does take over the strawberry taste but I personally found it to be a nice balance. The initial taste is strawberry and the after taste is cooling basil. Definitely something I liked during brunch. Might even be a good iced tea too for the summer.
I bought this for my partner on a whim. We both ended up enjoying it more than we expected. Excellent with honey and not too overpowering.
Who knew basil tasted good sweet? Let alone with tea
I really liked this tea. It is mildly sweet and easy to drink. The strawberry is subtle and the basil even more subtle, but I think the flavors balance. I don't think I would recognize that it is strawberry basil if I didn't know, but the flavors just work well together.
I was very pleasantly surprised by this one. It has a light and very refreshing flavor to it. I sweetened mine with honey.
Delightful and balanced white tea, not too fruity and not too herbal.
Excellent tea. The basil adds a subtle complexity to a straightforward but already refreshing blend. I haven’t tried it iced yet, but I’m sure it would be great.
This one was a bit more tart than I was expecting, so I needed to add a little sugar to enjoy it as I'm not into tart very much. But it smelled just lovely
I added a bit more strawberry tea and vanilla and taste yummy!
An intriguing tea! It took a few cups for me to decide I liked it. Try it!
It just tastes like a strawberry tea to me so it's not bad. I couldn't pick up any basil but it's still overall a good tea.
Delicate, sweet tasting tea & has a very comforting aroma
Makes a great soda when brewed strong and added to seltzer with a bit of shrub
I was surprised at how nice this tea tasted! This is a really interesting light tea. The basil is the main flavor and the strawberry is more subtle, but together they are very nice.
I never would have thought to put basil and strawberry together, but I was pleasantly surprised at this amazing combination! Light, subtly sweet due to the strawberry, it's a lovely tea that needs no sweetening. I am a big fan of white teas in general and this tea is delightful.
The lemongrass in this one overpowers the strawberry and white flavors
Delicious! Tastes like strawberries and basil. Yummy.
This tea is light and lovely! It's fruity but not too sweet and pleasantly herby. I'm looking forward to drinking a lot more of it!
Very prominent dry basil flavor, very mild strawberry. Good balance with the white tea. Refreshing, light, just like a nice white tea should be. Tried hot and cold, and it's best while it's cooled, slightly warm, in my opinion. Delicious!
Edit: I also just tried the strawberry white, and the basil is superior in depth and flavor to that one. Both are delicious, but if you are debating on which one to try, I would try this one first. Much more interesting and flavorful.
I was looking forward to trying this and it far exceeded my expectations. It is lovely, a little sweet and the after-taste leaves nothing to be desired. I really enjoyed this (so much so that I hopped on after my first pot to order some more).
I got this on a whim because I was on the fence about a basil tea, but I wound up really liking it. A nice bright cup of tea and the basil gave it a unique start and finish. It won't be a staple in my cupboard, but I'll get it again to have every so often.
One of my favorite teas. Fruity, flavorful and perfect for any time of the day.
Given the season, I drank this hot.. and have no regrets. Light, refreshing, and a lovely blend of fruit and basil. Each compliment the other. This would be equally lovely as a cold tea, as you choose and as you taste. Take a sip of summer in a cup with our White Strawberry Basil! Refreshingly light and sweet, this infusion is sure to tingle your tastebuds. The bright flavors of strawberry mingle with the roundness of basil make a perfect combo brewed both hot or iced.
Smells grassy. No basil taste. Lemongrass was more overpowering than anything else.
Might be my favorite tea ever! It has a great balance between the strawberry and basil flavors.
I liked the hint of basil this tea has. I don t get much of the strawberry but still a nice tea.
I love a good white tea and am frequently disappointed with the blend of fruit being too strong. This was perfectly balanced.
This is a subtle tea that is pleasant to drink. I can taste the strawberry and the basil balanced to compliment the strawberry.
Very nice white tea. The basil could be stronger, but overall enjoyable strawberry flavor.
This one is my all time favorite! Has a perfect blend of basil flavor.
Love, Love, Love this. I added some sugar crystals to this and it was so delicious.
Very smooth tea. Steamed perfect. Not to weak. Not too strong.
Very herbal, I added a little mint and it’s refreshing
Light and pleasant, with a nice balance of fruity and herbaceous notes.
A crisp white tea with a very balanced strawberry and basil flavor. Really lovely iced.
This was such a refreshing tea! The flavors are on the light side but I would expect that from a. white tea. I think this tea would be amazing iced in summer but regardless I will be making more of this! (To steep I boiled some water and before I poured the water into the cup I placed an ice cube in there so that the water-cooled quickly)
Nice white tea with a distinct flavor of basil. If you love basil, this is the tea for you.
I didn't think I'd be one for basil in my tea, but was I wrong! SO good!
Very tasty as an ice tea! You can actually taste the strawberry and its not too artificial
I had a cup of this at a friend's house out of town and really really enjoyed it! So I bought a big bag for myself and for some reason I find the basil overwhelming? I'm not sure if it's a difference in water or something else, but as I still have a lot left, I'll experiment and try to see if I can find a better balance.
A positively delicious iced tea! Don t bother brewing it hot-- even if you brew it to the normal specifications of a hot white tea (lower temp and adjusted steeping time), it won t be as nice as it is iced. Brewing it cold overnight in the fridge is my preferred method, and doing that maintains all the delicious fruity and herbal notes that make it the perfect spring and summertime drink.
