Geoff Reviews Village Tea’s Strawberry Passion White Tea.
Check out what he thought, here on TeaViews.com
Twitter is actually good for something. A couple of months ago I received a “tweet” from a rep with Village Tea Company to review one of their wares. This was the first time such a thing had ever happened. Most of my updates on Twitter ranged from teas I tried, food I scarfed, jokes I heard, Youtube clips that made me giggle, and random quotes from people I knew; particularly my mother (she’s unintentionally hilarious). How anyone gleaned that I reviewed teas from that miasma of pointless text is beyond me, but I was grateful they did.
The rep put me in touch with Village Tea Company via e-mail, and they got back to me promptly. What I found quite remarkable is the way they said, “Pick the ones you want to try.” Not being greedy, I settled on five options – the top pick being a strawberry white tea. I received a reply stating it was on its way. I thought they meant 2-tsp. samples.
About a week later, the delivery came – almost an entire 2-oz. canister of their Strawberry Passion White Tea. Okay, on first glance, a couple of ounces doesn’t sound like much, but keep in mind, only 2 teaspoons of leaf is need for 12-16-oz. cups of tea. Do the math.
