Dorset Tea Strawberries & Cream Tea 4 Boxes x 20 Tea Bags (80 Fruit Tea Bags Total) Strawberry Flavoured Herbal Tea Bags

It’s hard to find fruit teas that just taste like the fruit on the label. So many now have weird added flavours that are supposed to make them ‘soothing’ or ‘relaxing’ or ‘invigorating’. Not this one. It just tastes like strawberries and cream.

Had this tea at a cafe, but they had sold out of the boxes to buy, I now know why!Such an intense flavour, and very smooth, plus smells of gorgeous strawberries.

It’s just weak brew of mild berry flavour. Not as expected. It’s have had pickwick tea and this just pales in comparison.

This review is for 4 x boxes of Dorset Tea, Strawberries and Cream tea bags. Each 40g box contains 20 tea sachets. That is a total of 80 fruit infusion tea bags for the current price of £9.99. That equates to £2.50 per box and 12p per tea bag. I would say this this is on the higher end of herbal tea bags. Each tea bag comes in its own sachet, so these are great for adding to you bag for taking into work. The tea is made by a genuine Dorset company in Wimborne. These Strawberries and Cream bags include Apple, Hibiscus, Rose Hip, Strawberry Flavour 9%, Cream Flavour 3% and Strawberry 2%. Herbal tea wouldn’t usually be my drink of choice, but Dorset Tea do make nice drinks.Once brewed for a few minutes, the bags produce a claret coloured and quintessentially English flavoured drink. I have product tested other Dorset Tea infusions. If I was honest, I would say that the Foraged Fruits flavour is a better drink than these. That flavour tasted really full and fruity, whereas this one felt a bit lacking in body and fullness even after several minutes steeping. Even after seven or eight minutes, this one tasted and looked a bit watery. Foraged Fruits was definitely a better drink. Despite this, I still enjoyed them. I’ve got a bit of a sweet tooth, so added some sugar to my infusions. It was like drinking a (slightly watery!) cream tea in a cup! I may try my next cup with a couple of tea bags rather than one and see how that goes.There is no plastic in the tea bags themselves, so you’re safe in the knowledge that everything can be recycled. As the marketing blurb says - ‘simply pop them in your council food waste bin.’To conclude, the strawberries and cream experience, whilst enjoyable, was not as enjoyable as their Foraged Fruits tea.If you found this review useful, informative and / or enjoyable to read, please give that ‘helpful’ button a click.

My partner tested this item. This is his review.This is for 4x boxes of 20 tea bags (total 80 tea bags) of Strawberry and Cream flavoured tea from Dorset Tea.Dorset tea was founded in 2009 to celebrate the work of its founder, who began blending teas nearly 100 years ago from his Bournemouth kitchen.They have partnered with the Rainforest Alliance and the Marine Conservation Society to help protect natural environments.Their tea bags are made from sustainably sourced wood pulp and vegetable starch and are 100% biodegradable and can be industrially composted. This means they can be disposed of in our food waste caddy at home. There is no plastic used in the packaging. All packaging is sustainable and recyclable. They have a commitment to always be at the forefront of sustainable packaging as technology progresses. This is commendable and is well ahead of the general consumer level tea bags, many of which are still using plastic and non-recyclable tea bags.At home, we have a fairly wide range of teas and always like tasting new herbal and non-herbal teas.I brewed this tea for 5 minutes in total and I found I got a lovely taste of Strawberries and Cream. I quite enjoyed it.I can only recommend this tea for herbal tea and fruity tea lovers!I think at £9.99 for 80 tea bags, although priced higher than some other high street brands I think this is decent value for the quality of tea.

I’m not a traditional tea drinker but I do like herbal and fruit teas. I’m also trying to cut down on coffee / caffeine. So I’m on a journey to discover delicious herbal and fruitilicious teas.These particular ones are very tasty. You can really taste the strawberries 🍓 and the subtle background smell of cream which I could taste . It also has a rich red colour which adds to the experience. In fact when the tea bags arrived I could smell the lovely strawberry smell through the box.Although described as strawberry flavour the ingredients also include Apple, Hibiscus, Rose Hip, Strawberry Flavour 9%, Cream Flavour 3%, Strawberry 2%.I tend to use 2 bags at a time to get a deep fruity taste. I must admit I’ve got a bit of a sweet tooth so sometimes i put a jolt of brown sugar. Tastes even nicer. Either way it’s delish 🤤The product page says you can add milk. I’m not sure I’d want to try that. But I may who knows!You get X4 boxes of 20 for £9.99 which is ok even if a tad more than I’d normally pay, but a lot of effort and thought has gone into the product, the flavour, the design of the box and all that other stuff which makes it attractive. So I understand that all of this will add value to a productThis product has a line of other flavours which I’d be interested in trying given the deliciousness of the strawberry and cream flavour.The bags that the leaves come in are made from natural and sustainable materials as is the box, string and piece of cardboard at the end of the string. All of which gets my vote ✔️ So should be easily recycled in your home recycling bin if you have one. If not most local councils make provisions for residents to dump recyclable items.Overall I’d say a nice fruity flavour that I would purchase again.I hope you found this review helpful
