Ingredients: black tea, natural flavors
Company description not available.
Served plain, this tastes like a standard, somewhat uninteresting black tea with a little bit of a sweet aftertaste. Unobtrusive, and pleasant enough, but not something I’d go out of my way to drink.
Though I should note that I’m drinking a backlogged bag; it seems Bigelow changed their formula in the fall (?) of 2015, and this new formula has everyone on their site up in arms about how terrible it is. Purchase at your own risk…!
Flavors: Berry
I like to occasionally take a bagged tea to work for my lunch break, and that’s where this one made its debut. It’s definitely got a berry flavor, but not completely overpowering. (It smells stronger than it tastes, thankfully.) The raspberry has a tart finish, which I liked because it, too, wasn’t overpowering. And caffeine, caffeine is always great.
Flavors: Tart
This is another tea that I found in the breakroom at work today. I’m always hesitant to try berry-flavored black teas, because they tend to be awfully bitter and astringent. This one was actually pretty nice. It didn’t taste like fresh raspberry, so I’m guessing that the flavoring is artificial, but at least it was smooth and not totally overpowering. Am I about to run out and buy a box? No. Will I drink it again during my lunch break at work? Maybe.
Its the only bagged raspberry tea I have found locally. Unfortunately, some of the flavoring is artificial. Regardless, it does taste like raspberries. Do not drink this without sugar – the artificial flavorings will not work out and will taste disgusting! It needs at least two teaspoons of sugar in a large cup.
I am a nut of iced raspberry tea…so I logically enjoy it hot as well. If you like raspberry tea…this is for you!
Simple with an almost haunting taste of raspberry. What I mean by that is you almost forget that it is raspberry flavored until it creeps its way into your senses subtly. I enjoy it when I am looking for a quick tea to make in the office or just am too lazy for loose leaf. It really is elegant and simple, yet not too sweet and still strong.
Not bad for an “emergency” cup of tea, courtesy of the nice lady at the hotel front desk. I forgot to put any tea in my purse before we left the house, and the desk lady came to the rescue, handing me an assortment of tea bags. I decided to make a cup of this, thinking it might be a nice change from just a plain black tea (and a good way to relax and hopefully rid myself of this travel-stress-related headache), and it’s quite pleasant – the raspberry flavor isn’t as strong as the scent of the tea bag would suggest, but it’s rather nice.
