SpecialTeas was an online tea company founded in 1996 by Jurgen Link and based in Stratford, CT.

Strong fruity scent , as the description implys it is heavy on the strawberry and rhubarb scent. The tea is mild in taste, first you taste the tea, then the fruity flavors are noticed. Overall a good tea.

Overall a good tea.
