Each box contains 36 individually wrapped tea bags made with organic red rooibos, organic hibiscus, and natural flavorings that recreate the aroma and sweetness of strawberry shortcake—without calories or caffeine. It’s designed to be enjoyed hot or iced and works well as an everyday treat or a special addition to afternoon tea service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does this tea taste like and how strong is the sweetness?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe flavor profile centers on warm, baked-notes from the butter and sugar-cookie flavors layered over naturally nutty, slightly sweet red rooibos. Hibiscus gives a gentle tartness that lifts the strawberry flavor, keeping it from tasting cloying. The blend is flavored to mimic a strawberry shortcake dessert while remaining free of added sugar and caffeine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrimary notes: natural strawberry shortcake and butter-cookie flavors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBase: organic red rooibos provides mild, earthy sweetness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAccent: organic hibiscus adds a subtle bright tartness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for those avoiding caffeine and added sugars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I brew it for the best strawberry shortcake experience?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse freshly boiled, filtered water to extract the fullest flavor: pour 6 ounces over one tea bag and steep for 5–7 minutes to develop the dessert-like aroma and body. Longer steeping deepens the rooibos richness and the baked-good notes; for a lighter cup shorten steeping by a minute or two. After steeping, the used sachets can be composted or mixed into soil as a mild organic amendment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWater temperature: rolling boil (212°F \/ 100°C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRatio: one tea bag per 6 ounces of water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteep time: 5–7 minutes for full flavor\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePost-brew: compost tea bags to recycle nutrients\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I enjoy this tea iced or as part of a beverage recipe?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes—this blend stands up well to chilling and makes a bright, summery iced tea.
