I got this one from a friend in Australia, and definitely am a fan. Dry it smells like raspberry heaven, with a hint of black tea. Brewed, the tea takes over, both in scent and flavour, but the raspberry doesn’t give up the fight. There is definitely a natural raspberry flavour here, one that is noticeable with every sip. The tea base is one that is lovely and full of tannins (my mouth is always dry after sipping this one), and together they make a delightful cup for those who like their flavoured teas to still taste like tea. I’m looking forward to trying this one iced in the summer, maybe with some raspberry ice cubes!

Bio

An avid tea addict in the GTA, Ontario, Canada. I’m always looking for new teas and new tea addicted friends!

My preference is loose leaf of all varieties, however the occasional bagged tea can come along and charm me. Flavoured or straight, there is a good chance that I will be falling in love.

My ratings system is based on the smiley faces above the ratings scale.

0-10 — This tea didn’t get past the initial sip process. I just couldn’t bring myself to drink more, I found it so horrible.

11-50 — It made it past first sips, but as I drank a bit more I realized I really wasn’t enjoying the tea, and would never drink it again.

51-60 — I probably made it through the cup, but won’t be trying another one.

61-69 — Either it’s a mystery tea and I can’t decide if I like it or not, or it is one that I felt was purely adequate.

70-85 — These are the teas that I appreciate and/or like. If they are falling in this area they are ones that I would definitely re-buy, however are not ones that I must always have on hand. The good, but not the amazing.

86-94 — These are the favourites. My cupboard feels empty if they aren’t inside.

95-100 — Tea perfection!
