Tiesta Tea - Fruity Paradise, Loose Leaf Strawberry Pineapple Green Tea, Medium Caffeine, Hot & Iced Tea, 4 oz Tin - 50 Cups, Green Tea Loose Leaf

Very flavorful tea. Would recommend. Subtle but distinctive flavoring

I've tried a lot of green teas in the past, and I find it's really hard to find a good loose leaf tea. This one might just become my new favorite !!! And the tin container is a bonus well.

Wonderfully fruity. Will buy again.

I've been rotating through various fruit-forward green teas for morning brewing, previously using Harney & Sons and Republic of Tea blends. Picked this up looking for something with cleaner ingredient profiles and less cloying sweetness. The base is a decent sencha style green with medium cut leaves, not dusty fannings you see in grocery store bags. Going hotter or longer extracts excessive catechins and creates vegetal bitterness that overpowers the fruit. The recommended 3-minute steep on the package is borderline too long if you're sensitive to astringency. I've settled on 2:45 as the sweet spot. The strawberry comes through surprisingly natural, not that candylike artificial note common in flavored teas. Pineapple is more subtle, providing tartness and tropical undertones rather than dominating. The green tea base has moderate umami and grassy notes that actually complement the fruit instead of fighting it. Some vegetal astringency on the finish, though manageable if you nail the steeping time. The astringency can be harsh if you oversteep even slightly. This does the fruity green tea concept well without relying on artificial flavoring or excessive sweetness.

We had purchases a multi-sample pack and decided this was our favorite but the quality of this large tin was nothing like the small sample package we purchased. I can't believe how poor the quality is, This was very chaffy and no flavour at all !!! I'm sad to say I would never re-buy this....very disappointed !!!
