Long Island Strawberry Sencha

Tried this iced today…even better! I upped the rating since it’s multi-purpose! I will be getting a larger bag; if anyone wants to try some from my sample lemme know. Or perhaps we can split an order? I’m no tea pusher (like QG! :) ) but if you’re looking for a perfect summertime strawberry tea, this is it. :) Simply yummiful! (It’s so good, I invent words for it.)

I’ve really been falling in love with strawberry teas lately. And most recently flavored sencha’s have been in my top teas as well. This tea makes the list. Such a sweet succulent berry flavor. I will definitely be checking out more teas from Culinary teas…as soon as I make room in my cupboard. A friend at work purchased 8-10 different teas for me for my birthday, plus the recent Teavana and Harney’s orders, plus hubby took me to Teavana for more teas….I’ve got some time before I can decupboard anything. Glad I got a chance to try this tea, thanks again to LauraR and her wonderful sample package!

Oh, steepster! I’ve missed you!

I went on a last minute cruise with my family to the bahamas and sadly, cruises have terrible drinking water that is not fit to waste tea leaves on. While the beaches were great I will definitely travel there by some route other than boat next time – it was hard being tea less for a week!

Anyway, just before I left I cold brewed this (3 tsp. to 27 oz. water) to drink on the car ride to the boat. It was SO GOOD, even unsweetened. The tea smelled wonderfully strawberry and yet still had a strong green background and I have a feeling that adding sweetener in my traditional amounts for an iced tea will be amazing!

I have a bunch of this to use up and I am SO, SO GLAD!

Tea #6 from Another Traveling Tea Box

I’m backlogging this one from Saturday night (when it wasn’t 40F out and chilly, thankfully)

This is a very fruity green tea, with a sweet, but not cloying, strawberry flavor that doesn’t need any additional sugar. Even with the strong strawberry flavor, the grassiness of the sencha isn’t masked and comes through as well.

I really really enjoyed this, but I’m sending the rest of it on as it doesn’t seem like a flavor profile I’d like hot and it’s getting too cold for iced tea.

I’ve had this sitting on my counter for the last month because I had the intention of using it for iced tea. I just haven’t been in the mood for sencha lately so it sat longer than expected. I finally cold steeped this over night and have been drinking it all day long while I was out running errands.

So far I’ve been really impressed with my order from Culinary Teas, I see many orders in my future. I’m a bit on the fence about this one though, but I think it is mainly because I don’t really care for sencha. This had a nice slightly sweet, slightly tart flavor. It didn’t quite come across as a strawberry, but more a generic berry flavor.

I’m not sure this will be a repurchase for me, but I won’t have any problem finishing off the 4oz package that I purchased.

Thanks for this LiberTEAs! I have been wanting to try this one! I am impressed! This has a wonderful strawberry flavor on top of the sencha. If you can’t have a Long Island Iced Tea with the ‘happy juice’ this is the next best thing!

Ok so the tea I actually had is by tao of tea but my computer is messed up and I can’t load it proper so this will have to do!!! SO FRUSTRATED!
Anyhow, I’m not a big fan of fruity teas, so this will naturally get a lower rating from me. Just an fyi!
The first infusion was far too fruity for me, in a tart way. and too “green”. I suppose I should have washed the leaves first, but I usually don’t have the forethought to do so. Not to mention, I need to get some work done! ha.
Anyhow, the second and third infusion were MUCH better. There was a sweet strawberry note that came out overtop of the green which I really enjoyed. If it had been a deeper base, I may have actually considered repurchasing this one.
Not that far off from my Strawberry White from DTs, but nowhere near as tasty, for me. If you enjoy fruity green teas, this is definitely a must try!!

This is an awesome tea! I started drinking it while it was hot, then, I decided to let it chill. It is absolutely delicious chilled! So refreshing. The berry flavor is well pronounced without tasting fake. It isn’t too sweet, it has a nice berry tartness at the tail. The sencha tastes fresh and light.

I will miss this one, as I’m sending the rest to my Sororitea Sister.

Very smooth strawberry taste. A little sweet. I think I will add a lot more dry leaf to brew next time, it came out kind of weak. I might brew it with twice the amount, like with Den’s teas perimeters for Japanese brewing. I drank it iced.

I’m fairly certain this is the tea I had at Snakes and Lattes. I had it iced with a bit of sugar and it was light and fruity, and exactly what I wanted.
