The berries were perfectly shaped, and the packaging is a clean aesthetic. But I confess I was a bit disappointed with the flavor: pleasant, sweet, but overall a bit flat and one-note. It made me think of grocery-store-bought strawberries, and for those, these are the best. But given the price, I was hoping for a bit more complex, tart flavor like one gets from good freshly-picked ones.
Stronger flavor for the price.
Because the price is high ($30 for 6 berries) I went in with high expectations. The berry is definitely better than normal grocery store strawberries that don't taste like anything, but it's not as good as a wild or farmer's market strawberry. I loved the presentation and experience felt very special but ultimately I wasn't that impressed by the fruit itself. Even though I did eat them all, I wouldn't buy them again.
Maybe explore how to get closer to the tart flavor of wild strawberries? I think right now these are more of a novelty than a realistic repeat purchase.
Amazing strawberry; it tastes stellar when it's room-temperature (vs straight out of the fridge)
Price is not sustainable for people to purchase long term
Was it one of the best strawberries I've ever had? Probably, do I need to buy it again? No. But if you have the chance to try one of these I recommend you do.
