Strawberry flavor is great as usual, but the basil in this doesn t come through for me. It s tasty and fresh, but I m disappointed that the basil flavor is so mild as strawberry basil is one of my favorite combinations. I m not mad at this, but I know it could be even better than it is.
More complex than I initially thought. The basil becomes more prominent on subsequent steepings.
I like this tea, and I'm not even really into fruit teas. I like it iced. I'm not so into lemongrass either but the lemongrass isn't at all overpowering, just adds a bit of lightness to the fruit flavor. Wish I could taste more of the basil. I haven't tried it hot yet though, just iced in the infuser pitcher.
Sweet soft and subtle tea. Love the unique flavor.
This is great hot or cold, sweet or unsweetened. Bought a huge bag so I am set for a while!
Remember those hard candies that looked like strawberries? This tastes identical to those.
A fun sampler pick turned into one of my favorites! It's light and has a slight strawberry and basil flavor. A good light tea!
Decided to buy this to experiment with iced tea recipes. Try cold brewing and then adding frozen strawberries and fresh lemon! Extremely refreshing!
This was a surprising love for me- clean and refreshing, especially enjoy it cold brewed
This one holds true to its name, but not in an overpowering way. I've been enjoying it in the afternoons when I need a little treat but don't want to dive into my herbals yet. The strawberry with basil is an elegant twist on what would traditionally be just a fruity tea. I'm really enjoying it.
This is good, you get the taste of strawberry up front but I wish it was a little more strawberry forward because once tea white tea comes through it loses a lot of flavor
Possibly my favorite tea. I really like it cold brewed.
Wonderful afternoon pick me up tea. Just enough strawberry and basil taste to make it interesting without being overwhelmed. Just don't brew too long. đź’–
This makes a super refreshing ice tea that's perfect for hot summer days! The basil taste is strong so if you don't like that I'd avoid it but if you like it, get it.
This is a really interesting light tea. The basil is the prominent flavor. The strawberry is light, but present. It makes for an amazing iced tea!!
Good for a summery flavor. I wanted to try something different and this was nice for a change but not really my thing.
Surprisingly good. The basil is very subtle and goes very well with the strawberry. Made exactly to package specifications.
I wasn’t sure of the basil, but this is surprisingly good! Light flavor, and while I’ve only tried it hot, I think it would be a fantastic iced tea!
My absolute favourite. Really delicate and a good balance between the strawberries and basil flavours.
E joyed this as cold brew. Plain, the basil was very strong but once you add sweetener the strawberry bursts forward while the basil kicks back. Refreshing.
Suprisingly good! The color was odd but this came together beautifully.
girlfriends new favourite tea
got a small one for her a couple months ago and came back for the large bag
This is a wonderful morning/evening tea: bright but not overbearing, a hint of tartness, and the interesting aftertaste of basil.
One of the rare teas that I love just as much iced as I do hot. Delicious!
Good strawberry flavor with notes of basil, but can be a bit medicinal at times.
This was my first white tea and it has a very delicious mix of flavors. I was concerned the basil was going to be overpowering but there is a floral taste with only subtle hints of basil.
I adore this tea. It's subtle, but complex. You taste both the strawberry and the basil, but neither is over powering. It's soothing hot if you're not feeling well and I think this would also be great iced in warmer weather! Huge fan!
I usually find white teas to be subtle, this was no exception. This has a nice flavor to it, gentle and balanced.
This made an excellent Cold brew tea. I love the berry flavors with the basil.
Light and refreshing. Love the basil with the strawberry, surprisingly, I mostly got it for another family member, but they convinced me to try it and I enjoyed it very much
A stand out surprise favorite for me! I got this as a free sample and immediately added it to my order list. The strawberry comes across cleanly and the basil adds such a pleasant earthiness. This is nice and light and delicious both iced and hot!
This white strawberry basil tea is fantastic. It makes an amazing iced tea! I was skeptical about whether the basil would be present and/or artificial-tasting. But it did not diappoint! It is like adding fresh basil to a batch of strawberry tea! A perfect balance!!
One of my favorite teas to have iced in the summer!
I did not think that I would like this. It was a free sample. So glad that adagio gives samples because this is one of my new favorites! It is amazing iced! The strawberry taste is upfront followed by a basil finish.
This one of my favorite teas out of the 10 samples I ordered. Its refreshing and flavorful. I love the basil.
I haven t been big on fruity teas in the past but this combo had me intrigued so I got a sample. This is a beautifully balanced tea with the basil complimenting the strawberry and cutting through the overt fruitiness you get with other fruit teas.
Update: Ordered a full bag of this tea! It's become one of my absolute favorites and I keep reaching for it, especially for an afternoon tea.
I'm not a fan of most herbal teas, and I avoid white teas because I usually prefer a cuppa that can hold the spoon up. That being said, I am so glad I gave this tea a chance (being fond of both strawberries and basil)! The predominant smell is definitely basil, but when brewed, there is a very good balance. This is a rich, fruity tea with a lovely, slightly savory herbal note. It's refreshing and unique and perfect for iced tea in the summer. I was anxious to get back to Adagio and order more!
I got this one for my mom, and she really likes it! She wanted something light on caffeine for the afternoon, and she says this is perfect!
I cold brewed this tea as a sample and it is wonderful.
I preferred this hot rather than iced, but overall it was just not a strong enough flavor for my liking. I wasn't sure I would like it to begin with though, because I often find strawberry to be cloying. If you're a true strawberry lover, you'll probably enjoy it!
The basil isn't as strong as I was expecting, which actually makes it a very pleasant cup of tea! I really enjoyed trying this blend.
Love this one cold or hot...although very refreshing cold. I keep a huge mason jar of this one in the fridge. Love.
By the ingredients listed there should be no way this works. That said, this tea works great, in fact I drink a big cup after work each day.I find myself craving this as the taste is a great combination of sweet and savory. A hard tea to describe, so try it. You'll see what I mean.
A lot of tea blends that I had from Adagio were terrible tasting and I usually did not even finish a cup. This one is an exception. I received it as a sampler once and shortly afterwards I ordered a large bag. It is good both hot and cold, especially on hot summer days it tastes like lemonade without all sugar and chemicals. Like this one, recommend.
This tea is unique. I didn't love it, but found it interesting. I wish the basil was more present.
Light and refreshing with a lovely strawberry scent. A perfect pair for chocolate!
Holy cow this is my favorite tea of all time at the moment! I bought the biggest bag I could and drink it all the time. It's very light but has a nice earthiness to it from the basil. I can't recommend this one enough!
Smooth, earthy basil beside buttery white tea and sweet strawberry. I can’t see myself reaching for this flavor combination often but I love the idea of teas with more savory herbs and this one was pretty good. Worth a try if you’re skeptical.
Light and refreshing. I wouldn’t drink this everyday but it is a good one to throw into the mix.
Fruity and a hint of spice. Pretty good! Compliments each other well
