    "content_text": "A strawberry Ceylon cup gets a real lift from one cracked black peppercorn dropped in with the bag. Pepper and strawberry are a Florentine pairing, and the piperine brings the strawberry sweetness forward so it doesn't taste one-note. Brew the Ceylon at a full boil so the black-tea backbone holds up under the fruit, and drink it black to taste the strawberry properly.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk.
