Leaf Type: Green

Product Description:

This sencha based tea is the best strawberry green we have ever tasted! Tart and sweet and as strong as a strawberry puree. Incredible iced and delicious hot.

Taster’s Review:

I can see why this is one of their best selling teas. It is yummy. The Sencha green tea base tastes sweet, fresh and slightly vegetative, but, I wouldn’t go so far as to call it grassy. It sets the tone for the delicious strawberry taste that reminds me of a fresh, juicy berry.

Nothing really says SUMMER to me like plump, ripe strawberries, and the strawberry flavor here is so authentic. It’s almost as good as eating a bowl of freshly picked strawberries. And while this tea is tasty served hot, it tastes best iced. So refreshing!

With this tea, I recommend using just a little more leaf than usual. If you usually add 1 teaspoon of tea per cup, try 1 1/2 teaspoons of this tea. I find that the flavors really come to life with just a little more leaf. It is still delicious with the usual 1 teaspoon, although I found the cup to be a little too light for my liking. By adding a bit more leaf, the flavor really improved.

This tea has its own sweet taste, so taste it before you sweeten. I found it to be perfect, without any sweetener. A really wonderful tea – hot or iced!

Anne (aka the Mad Tea Artist) has celebrated her 29th birthday for many years now. She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her hubby and her youngest daughter. Her oldest daughter is married and has bestowed Anne with the proud title of "Gramma" and her grandson is about the cutest boy you ever did see. Anne started her journey with tea as a casual drinker and became more serious about her tea drinking when she realized that she couldn't drink coffee. Shortly thereafter, she started becoming obsessed with the beverage and she started creating small-batch, artisan blends of tea that she sold online as LiberTEAS. After a few years, she realized she wasn't cut out to be the sole proprietor of a business so she closed LiberTEAS and started reviewing teas online. She met Jennifer through another blog that they both reviewed for and they decided to start their own review blog. This review blog! Throughout her journey as a tea reviewer, she discovered 52Teas and became enamored with the idea of creating a new tea every week. When the founder of 52Teas decided he wanted to move on, he offered the business to Anne but knowing that she wasn't cut out to be a sole proprietor, she instead offered the company to her oldest daughter who employs her as the Mad Tea Artist for 52Teas!
