Pears, popularized in France, are now found growing abundantly in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. This green tea blend has a strong aroma, but when brewed the pale ecru cup reveals a taste that is subtle, fresh and delicious.
Ingredients: Green tea, pear flavor, alfalfa leaf and marigold petals.

Soooo… I ended up breaking my buy ban to order some S&V favorites. They are a small business, so I didn’t mind as much. ALSO, I held restraint and didn’t stock up on ALL of my missing favorites… I wanted to order a ton more, probably at least double the amount that I ordered, not including their National Parks sampler I have been wanting to try. Maybe one day! Safe to say I think any tea fan can easily find tons of good stuff from S&V.
I couldn’t wait to try S&V’s pear green, as I loved their pear black tea blend. The black blend has a pearfect (ha) flavor, even after waiting around in my tea collection for many years. Unfortunately, it seems they added ginger to the newer blends of Pear black, and it just wouldn’t be quite the same to me. The pear flavor was perfect and the ginger would just distract from that, IMO. THIS blend is simply green tea and flavor. I know that it might taste a bit better after some resting, but right now, the flavor is quite good. Possibly not AS good as the pear black blend, but I have had worse pear flavors. And this one even has that quality of that pear skin starchiness… or possibly that’s the green tea itself. The second steep, more of the green tea peaks through. This one is OKAY so far, but I’m really going to miss the original pear black when I run out. Maybe this green blend will age just as well.
Steep #1 // 1 heaping teaspoon //32 minutes after boiling // 1 minute steep
Steep #2 // 28 minutes after boiling // 2 minute steep
Very refreshing! When you first open the can you get the very strong aroma of pear, but it doesn’t come across in the taste after brewing. It is light and crisp, which offsets the potential bitterness of green tea. I definitely recommend this one for those who don’t mind a flavored green tea.
