Guest review: Strawberry Lychee black tea

Today's guest review is from +Jody Livingston

"I was given a box of Strawberry Lychee tropical black tea from Hawaiian Islands Tea Company by the author of this blog. It's quite nice.

The nose is stronger than the taste, which is good, since it is quite strong with a very prominent strawberry note and a more subtle lychee fragrance. The tea, once made is more subdued. I took it with a teaspoon of local honey. It has a clean mouth feel with a soft taste of strawberry hitting first. The lychee taste sneaks in after and lingers a bit. But is is the taste of the tea that is primary, and it's not a sharp tea, more of a comfortable evening tea.

Overall it's not as fruity as I expected it to be, but I think it benefits from that. The tea itself is the star."
