Tea of the Week for June 24, 2024!
Nice! This tea starts with our sweet, smooth Chinese Sencha (organic, of course!), to which I’ve blended lots of bananas, raspberries & strawberries, plus some marshmallow root & vanilla bean. The result? Sweet, tart, fruity & delicious!
My original vision for this tea was to create something similar to the Pineapple Whip (& later, the Strawberry Whip) teas I’ve crafted in the past. After tasting my first attempt with this blend (which did not include the marshmallow root or the vegan marshmallow essence) I realized it needed more “fluff” to the “whip” so I added the marshmallow root & marshmallow essence to soften things up just a little. That’s why this is a “Fluff” rather than a “Whip” – but the flavors are still there.
This tea is perfect for cold-brewing & makes a fantastic iced tea to enjoy these record high temperatures! I have never really made a secret of my dislike for the heat, but teas like this make those days a bit better.
PLEASE NOTE: Some of the labels were printed without vanilla bean noted in the ingredients. I apologize for this oversight.
organic ingredients: green tea, bananas, raspberries, strawberries, marshmallow root, vanilla bean & natural flavors
to brew: shake the pouch well to incorporate all the ingredients. Use 3g of tea to 12oz of very hot water (175°F). Steep for 2 minutes. Strain & allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before sipping. Or, for cold refreshment, I highly recommend cold-brewing this: use 3g of tea to every 12oz of water in a container (I use a large bell glass jar). Seal jar & stash in the fridge for several hours (4-5) or – for best results – allow this to steep in the fridge overnight! Strain the tea & enjoy!
serving suggestion: As I’ve mentioned above, I highly, highly recommend serving this as an iced tea. The combination of the green tea, fruits, vanilla bean & marshmallow root creates a really satisfying, refreshing iced tea! No sweetening is necessary because it has its own natural sweetness – but – if you want to highlight the flavors of the vanilla, a wee bit of sugar will do that for you.

The Chinese Sencha is light & creamy. The creaminess is enhanced further by the note of marshmallow. The banana, strawberry & raspberry are not on their own super distinct & individual flavors unless you really focus on it to pick out each flavor, instead, it’s more like a medley of the three flavors to create a sweet yet pleasantly tart profile. Like a smoothie of sorts, but in tea form. Very refreshing & it makes a really delightful iced tea.
