Quick answer
Organic Strawberries and Cream Green Tea is unique for its sweet, summery blend of real strawberry and creamy vanilla, paired with a high-caffeine organic Chinese sencha base. It's a fruit-forward green tea that tastes like a treat hot or iced.
What sets it apart from other fruit green teas?
Many fruit green teas rely on artificial flavors or dried fruit pieces that lose their punch. This blend uses organic strawberry flavor and real rosehips to create a natural-tasting strawberry note, plus creamy vanilla for a dessert-like finish. The organic Chinese sencha base provides a grassy, slightly astringent backbone that keeps the sweetness balanced.
Another key difference is its caffeine level. Labeled as high caffeine, it's stronger than most fruit teas, making it a good choice if you want both flavor and energy. It's also USDA Organic and OU Kosher certified, which matters if you prioritize clean-label ingredients.
How does it taste hot vs. iced?
Brewed hot, the sencha's vegetal notes come through first, followed by a wave of sweet strawberry and a smooth, creamy finish from the vanilla. The flavors are well-integrated, not separate. Over ice, the strawberry and vanilla pop more, while the sencha's bitterness fades, resulting in a refreshing, juice-like drink. This duality makes it versatile across seasons.
Frequently asked questions
Does it contain real fruit?
It uses organic strawberry flavor (not real strawberry pieces) and organic rosehips, which add a subtle tartness. The creamy vanilla flavor comes from natural vanilla. The taste is fruit-forward but not chunky.
How should I brew it for best flavor?
Use 1 tea bag per 8 oz of water at 175°F (80°C) for 3 minutes. For iced tea, steep double strength (2 bags per 8 oz) for 3 minutes, then pour over a full glass of ice. Avoid boiling water, which makes the sencha bitter. Brew at 175°F, not boiling, to keep the strawberry and vanilla flavors bright.
Can I drink it if I'm sensitive to caffeine?
This tea is labeled high caffeine, so it may not suit those who are very sensitive. If you want a similar fruit flavor with less caffeine, look for a rooibos or herbal fruit blend instead. Choose a different tea if you need a low-caffeine option.
