Since I live in Miami and it is approximately 97,436 degrees here during the summer, I seek refreshment from iced teas with light and fruity flavors. The Necessiteas' Strawberry Banana green tea fits perfectly into that category. This tea has a sweet fragrance dominated by strawberry. The Necessiteas website says that the tea is blended with strawberry and banana flavor, and based on my perceptions of the aroma, I am thinking the flavor is not necessarily 100% natural. The strawberry aroma, as well as the flavor, is very reminiscent of strawberry flavored bubble gum, and while that isn't necessarily entirely bad (as I must admit that I have chewed more than my fair share of strawberry bubble gum), I do wish that the strawberry flavor was a tad more authentic. Visually speaking, the tea appears to be of good quality. The green tea leaves are large and flat, and contain considerably sized pieces of dried strawberries and bananas. The dried fruit, however, seems to be largely lost in the flavor because the less-natural flavors are more prominent. The banana flavor is, as one would expect, less noticeable than the strawberry, but is still detectable to an extent. I was amazed at how mild the green tea was; actually it was almost hard to tell I was drinking green tea. For this reason, this tea would be a good recommendation for those who want the health benefits of green tea but do not actually care for stronger, vegetal green teas. This tea was light and refreshing and required no sugar to sweeten it up. I would recommend this tea be enjoyed as an iced tea; I sampled it hot as well and that was also perfectly enjoyable. Bottom line: This tea's flavoring isn't exactly entirely natural, but it works well as a refreshing and fruity drink.
