This is a terrific Pu-erh blend and should be considered as such. I'm surprised at the overwhelming number of reviewers who expected to "not" taste what makes Pu-Erh distinctive: a very earthy, malty quality that comes from being aged. Don't buy this tea if you're expecting it to taste like strawberry-infused black. It's much more exotic than regular black tea. But for people who are considering trying a Pu-Erh and may not want to take that step of sipping it as-is, this is an excellent blend to introduce yourself to Pu-Erh. My absolute Teavana favorite, the quality is consistant throughout multiple steeps, and is a hearty "morning" and "evening" refresher. Also does well iced, as it tends to be a strong, dark brew. Great tea for people who also enjoy the nuances of coffees. Pu-Erh is like wine - it has different qualities depending on how long it's aged.

Honestly I thought this was the worst tea ever...before I started blending it. It's become one of my favorites for mixing, but I cannot tolerate it on its own. I mix it for a great hot tea with:
1tsp Mate Lemon Blast
1tsp Tung Ting Jade Oolong
1tsp Rooibos Peach Bloom
1tsp Strawberry Slender Pu-Erh
Steep for 3 minutes -- you can rebrew this mix once more, but sometimes it gets a bit bitter.
Also try mixing it with a 1-1 ratio with Rooibos Lemon Twist. The tea definitely works, but it does not tickle my fancy all on its own. It's ESPECIALLY important not to steep it more than 3 minutes; it's so strong.

Comments about Teavana Strawberry Slender Pu-Erh® Tea:
I am a fan of straight pu-erh tea and most fruity teas, so when I found this, I bought 2oz right away. The first thing I noticed (like everyone else) was the pungent, cough syrup-like smell, and it kind of turned me off. Honestly, I really wanted to like this tea, and the flavor was quite good. You get the strong earthy tones of the pu-erh and the strawberry complements it nicely, but again, the smell! It really smells like you're taking a swig of cough syrup.
I have yet to try this one blended or iced, so my opinion may yet change for the better. But for now, I can't recommend it too highly.

Comments about Teavana Strawberry Slender Pu-Erh® Tea:
I love this tea! I have tried everything from green, to white, to oolong, to black, to rooibos, etc. Though this Pu-Erh is not as earthy as other Pu-Erhs, it has a unique taste & quality & is a kind of mix between a black tea & Pu-Erh, which makes it a great morning tea as well as evening tea for digesting that big evening meal.
It has become my morning cup of coffee as it gives me the inspirational pick-up I need to start the day, without the jitters that coffee can give.
It is also great to drink while I study for school. I have found that tea can bring a real sharpness to the mind & can help with focusing.
It is also great for digestion & quickly breaking up food. If I ever feel I over-stuffed myself & want quick relief I brew a cup. Nothing breaks food up faster! And you'll find you haven't gained a pound the next day.
One suggestion...if this tea tastes too strong to you, try putting vanilla soy milk in it. The vanilla together with the strawberries gives it a taste of strawberries & cream.

Comments about Teavana Strawberry Slender Pu-Erh® Tea:
I chose this tea because I like a sweeter tea but I didn't want to put in a lot of sugar. I also do like the flavor of strawberry so I thought it woudl be a good combination. The taste of the tea is very nice, but I find that a lot of the taste comes from the aroma of the tea that you smell while you are drinking the tea. I found this tea's aroma to be a complete turn-off. The tea smells so overly sweet that everytime I went to go take a sip I was sickened like I was about drink pure syrup. Dont get me wrong the tea does not taste sweet, it tastes good. It just SMELLS extremely sweet.

This is one of my all time favorites. It has a unique blend that is not too sweet or bitter. You can drink it without adding any sweeteners. It is also a great energizer for me in the morning. The aroma is great as well!

Comments about Teavana Strawberry Slender Pu-Erh® Tea:
When you get a whiff of this tea, its super strength aroma might turn you off. Don't let that stop you from trying this tea! It's much more subtle once it's brewed (although still a plenty strong brew). The strawberry flavor is very fresh, and I couldn't help but be reminded of summer strawberry season.

This tea is fabulous! Trust me, you can disregard any negative write-ups because they probably came from non tea enthusiasts. Read up about pu-erh and see how good it is for your diet to break down fats and lower cholesterol. This taste like a strawberry vanilla delight!!!

Comments about Teavana Strawberry Slender Pu-Erh® Tea:
I drink this hot with a little rock sugar first thing in the morning and then re-brew the tea(3-4x)to fill up a pitcher for iced tea. It never gets bitter and the multiple infusions make this tea a great value for the price. This is by far my favorite tea and I love it.
