this smells fantastic!!!! like a beautiful strawberry jam with a wonderful fragrance. the aroma of the dry leaf is succulent, as is the aroma of the tea liquor! i don’t know what to really say for this, except that if you had a very light green tea (in the sense of it being as delicate as some oolongs) and decided to add a tsp of strawberry jam for flavoring, you would have this!
the flavor…..magnifique!
it is so true to the aroma which is a wonderful surprise. the tea & the flavoring are exceptionally fresh, with the leaves expanding to a nice plump size. even after 4 minutes steeping there is no trace of bitterness. this is perfect. does not even need sugar or honey in order to enjoy a truly sweet experience. in fact, i would recommend this as a dessert tea even if you’re hoping for something light because the strawberry has a creaminess to it, and the tea has a slightly buttery mouthfeel, unless i’m imagining things..
if you thought Tazo’s Decaf Lotus Blossom is impressive for a flavored green, try this…you won’t be disappointed! also, if you love strawberries, rest assured that you will find them in this tea! it fully delivers from the aroma of the dry leaf right down to the last sip. i am truly impressed. will definitely place an order for Demain, aujourd’hui!
thank you so much, Laurent for your generous sample of this! i’ll surely be purchasing some, merci :)

I’d really like for someone to do a side-by-side comparison of Nina’s and Mariage Frères… and possibly Lupicia.
interesting…after i saw ur tasting note for Lupicia’s Strawberry Green, it sounded so good. glad i got to try Nina’s!
it would be fun comparing strawberry greens :)
just looked in the database and there is no ‘Strawberry Green’ by Lupicia, but i could almost swear u did a review of a green tea while eating a strawberry? lol
I think that was Tsugaru Green (apple tea) but the Lupicia tea this review made me think of was Lupicia’s Srawberry Vanilla, which I love.

Hehe. Thanks, Nina’s Tea – I was just talking about how hard it was to get a response from you, and here you are. Magic! I’m in Europe now, though – do NT USA really deal with European samples, too?
