Tabby drank Raspberry Darjeeling by Custom

Decided to blend some tea when making a pitcher’s worth last night. I used five teaspoons of the darjeeling and three teaspoons of the raspberry ceylon. Needless to say, the raspberry is a bit subtle but definitely there, but the general tea’s flavor is darjeeling. Some of the ceylon’s bitterness is there, which I like a lot. I’ll remember this recipe next time I’m making iced tea…

Also, I cheated and used the raspberry’s picture. Didn’t think to snap a picture when I scooped it into the infuser.

It sounds like it would make a good iced tea blend. What companies were the Raspberry Ceylon and the Darjeeling from?

@Jillian It’s on the tea’s page. Arbor Teas and the farmer’s market.

Cool, thanks Tabby.

Bio

Quiet, strange, and in love with the world of tea. 20-something and living just outside of Atlanta. Cat lover, EBM/industrial geek, balcony gardener, and collector of fossils. On the hunt for the perfect tea in each of my favorite categories.

I prefer black and fruit teas, but I’m trying to broaden my horizons. My favorites tend to be yunnan tips, earl grey, golden monkey, chai, and darjeeling. My favorite add-ons are plum, cinnamon, coconut, apple, raspberry, bergamot, cucumber, sage, vanilla, and caramel.

I’m shy about green tea, curious about white, and learning to love oolong. I hate rooibos and anything with orchid, fennel, or jasmine.

I’m currently trying to grow my own tea. I have a 2-year-old potted Camellia sinensis, and I plan on picking a tiny bit of new growth this spring for my first try at drying my own leaves.

I have a habit of shopping at Asian grocery stores, so I end up pioneering a lot of teas that are new to Steepster.

I’m always down for a trade, so feel free to browse my cupboard and note me!
