The Republic of Tea - Strawberry Shortcake Cuppa Cake Herbal Tea, 36 Tea Bags

New favorite blend of tea. It goes down smooth and it's not bitter. It tastes very light but also has a rich flavor. There is no artificial strawberry flavor. Which is a plus for me. I only add sugar to it. This tea doesn't need any milk as I feel like it drowns out the flavor. There's nothing that gives a too sour or too overly sweet taste either. When I steep it, I only use one tea bag. And pour 1 1/2 cups of hot water into my tea pot. It works for me, I get maybe 3-4 cups of tea from it. Note, my tea cups are fairly small. But it's totally worth it for the aesthetic and also for drinking. As I want to savor the taste with each cup. I did use two tea bags once but I didn't like it, but you may if you like a deeper flavor. Not only that but it smells nice and the packaging is just too cute. This is my third time buying this tea. Republic of Tea has become one of my favorite brands to buy tea from. Quality is excellent, I feel that I also get a good value for my money. I'm still working my way through my first one. But I bought 2 more to stock up lol. Makes me want to become a tea princess if I am being honest :>

It tastes more like the doll smells than the actual dessert, but I like it. It leans a little more toward shortbread cookie. I will be trying the other flavors.

I was hesitant to order this as some reviews said it wasn't that flavorful and wow, am I glad I did. This tea surpassed my expectations. Bright and a flavorful fun tea with hints of strawberry, hibiscus and a subtle vanilla cake, delicious with a splash of milk, no sweetener needed. I will be adding to my "drink less caffeine" rotation. As a lover of pink, the extra cute label is a bonus! It's so cute, it stays on my shelf as it's very aesthetic. Delicious tea, fair price, try this, yum.

This flavor was not “my cup of tea.” The strawberry/cake flavors taste very artificial. I always share new teas with my tea enthusiast friends and we all independently came to the conclusion: it kinda tastes like chapstick from the 90s. I have very much enjoyed any other tea I have tried from The Republic of Tea (2 or 3 other flavors, can’t completely remember due to liking to try new teas and many brands) and so have previously mentioned tea-fond friends. I am frugal, so if I buy something, I do like to use it. So I have continued to use these tea bags at intervals and I can honestly say that the flavor grows on you. Not in a way that I can, “yum,” but in a way that I can now say, “it’s not so bad” and actually kinda mean it. But a tea shout out to cucumber mint and chocolate banana- those have been some of my favorites not only from this brand, but of any!

I like this tea, and I can’t quite put my finger on it, but something doesn’t quite hit the mark. Flavor wise everything is so close to tasting like it should, but has an element where it tastes almost fake? I know it isn’t, and that might not be the right description. I think it’s an issue with some fruits where they just don’t retain quite the right flavor when dried. It helps to put vanilla creamer in it. Still an enjoyable dessert tea 😊
