I have to confess to being ambivalent about green tea. Normally, I drink herbal tea with no sweetener, or I occasionally drink a cup of black tea. But green tea, despite its health benefits, is not my favorite.

However, add STRAWBERRY flavoring to green tea and you really have something. Strawberries add a light fruity acid to the tea and natural sweetness, so this takes away some of the tannic bitterness of green tea.

Green tea has antioxidants, 1 cup of tea has the equivalent antioxidant properties of 2 apples. Strawberries have phenols --primarily anthocyanin, the colored components of fruits that also provide health benefits. But mainly, strawberries here add a great flavor.

If you don't like green tea as a beverage, try fruit-scented tea like this one. It may change your mind. This tea is organic as well, so definitely it's worth your while.

The tea was just ok and in fact I was disappointed with its flavor. I am a huge fan of Coffee Beans Green Tea with strawberry and this tea had too many competing flavors for my taste. I'll still drink it, but it's not as enjoyable as other green teas with strawberry.
