Strawberry Rhubarb Green Tea

Organic Strawberry Rhubarb Green Tea: fruity sweetness meets bright acidity

Our organic strawberry rhubarb green tea is a flavourful creation that brings together the elegance of a China Sencha with the velvety sweetness of strawberry and the lively tang of rhubarb. This delicate blend offers a fresh, fruity aromatic profile, perfect for the morning, afternoon, or as an iced tea in summer. Naturally flavoured, it strikes a beautiful balance between sweet and tart, in the tradition of the French art of blending.

Ingredients: China Sencha, strawberry and rhubarb

This blend contains: China Sencha green tea, natural flavouring, blackberry leaves, strawberry pieces (2%) and rhubarb pieces (2%). The China Sencha green tea base brings a delicate vegetal structure and its characteristic freshness. The real fruit pieces, carefully dehydrated, retain their full aromatic character. Blackberry leaves add a light tannic dimension that brings the blend into balance. The composition is clean, free from unnecessary artificial flavourings: strawberry (Fragaria) and rhubarb (Rheum rhabarbarum) remain the stars of the cup.

Aromatic profile: a perfect sweet-tart balance

The moment you open the bag, the rich scent of ripe strawberry greets you, followed by the characteristic green note of rhubarb. In the cup, the infusion turns a pale gold with amber highlights. On the palate, the natural sweetness of strawberry comes first, followed by the refreshing, tangy note of rhubarb, all carried by the smooth vegetal roundness of the Sencha. A full, nuanced strawberry-rhubarb flavour, more refined than a classic flavoured black tea and more expressive than a fruity oolong. Our version stands apart for its natural freshness and aromatic honesty.

The story behind strawberry and rhubarb

The strawberry-rhubarb pairing became iconic in Anglo-Saxon baking in the 19th century, celebrated in crumbles, pies and compotes. In the United States, strawberry rhubarb pie is a beloved tradition of May and June. Across Europe, the duo appears in Alsatian tarts and homemade jams. Our tea carries that culinary tradition into a delicate loose-leaf blend, where the freshness of China Sencha enhances both fruits beautifully. A modern creation for those who find in their cup the flavours of childhood summers and family desserts.

The benefits of strawberry rhubarb green tea

This blend combines the virtues of green tea with two plants studied by the scientific community. Sencha green tea, derived from Camellia sinensis, naturally contains antioxidants and catechins (EGCG), compounds that help protect cells against oxidative stress (sources: EFSA on hold list Camellia sinensis ID 1118; ANSES). Strawberry provides natural vitamin C and polyphenols, while rhubarb, a traditional medicinal plant, is rich in fibre and bioactive compounds. The moderate caffeine content of Sencha makes it a gentle daily companion, stimulating without excess. A pleasure drink, calorie-free, that fits naturally into any wellness routine.

Brewing guide and serving suggestions

How to brew strawberry rhubarb green tea

To bring out all the aromas, place the leaves in a teapot, tea ball or infuser. Brew in filtered water at 75-80°C, never boiling. Pour the hot water over the leaves and leave to steep without stirring. This classic green tea method ensures a balanced infusion that honours the freshness of the Sencha, the sweetness of the strawberry and the liveliness of the rhubarb.

How much tea to use

Use 2 grams per 200 ml, roughly one heaped teaspoon per standard cup. For one litre of water, allow 10 to 12 grams of the blend.

How long to steep

The ideal steeping time is 2 to 3 minutes. A longer infusion would release bitterness from the Sencha and mask the fruity notes. For a second infusion, extend slightly to 3-4 minutes with water a touch warmer (80°C).

When to enjoy this blend

This flavoured green tea suits any time of day. Wonderful at tea time alongside a homemade strawberry-rhubarb tart, or served iced in summer. If you are sensitive to caffeine, avoid it late in the evening, as Sencha naturally contains caffeine.

Strawberry rhubarb iced tea: the ultimate summer recipe

The iced version of this blend is a real revelation. For a refreshing strawberry rhubarb iced tea: steep 10 g of leaves in 1 litre of cold water for 2 to 4 hours in the refrigerator, then strain. Serve over ice with a slice of fresh strawberry, a squeeze of lemon juice and a few mint leaves. You can also serve it as a non-alcoholic cocktail in a pitcher with fresh fruit pieces, perfect for a creative summer aperitif. The strawberry-rhubarb-Sencha combination works beautifully as a homemade sorbet, a jelly, or to flavour a dessert cream.

Storage and quality assurance

To preserve the fruity aromas, store your tea in an airtight container, away from light, moisture, strong odours and heat. Our resealable zip-lock bag offers excellent protection. Optimal shelf life: 12 to 18 months after opening. For longer storage, transfer to an opaque metal tin. This keeps the strawberry and rhubarb pieces as fresh and aromatic as possible, cup after cup.

Frequently asked questions about strawberry rhubarb green tea

What are the exact ingredients?

Our blend contains: China Sencha green tea, natural flavouring, blackberry leaves, strawberry pieces (2%) and rhubarb pieces (2%). A clean composition where the fruit takes centre stage.

Is there real rhubarb in the bag?

Yes, these are real dehydrated rhubarb pieces (2%), visible throughout the blend. Not just a flavouring: the plant is physically present, which is what gives the tea its natural tangy note.

Does this tea contain caffeine?

The strawberry-rhubarb flavour is well balanced: the sweet softness of strawberry comes first, followed by the bright acidity of rhubarb, with a clean vegetal finish from the Sencha. Round, fresh and approachable.

How is it different from other strawberry teas?

Our strawberry rhubarb blend stands out thanks to the rhubarb, which adds a lively tang not found in classic strawberry teas. More expressive than a plain strawberry green tea, more complex than a simple strawberry flavouring on Sencha.
