Raspberry Sangria

I am attempting to clear out my cupboard, and I know this tea is at least 5-7 years old. Living on the edge here :)

So I used 2.5tsp/10oz water, in case it has lost flavor to age. 1st steep came out very dark (as expected), but I think I made the right choice in doubling up on the tea. It is a lot less tart than I remember it when I first got it. Tart is about all I can taste until I add a small amount of sugar. After that, the raspberry comes through. Very nice.

2nd steep- starting to wonder the difference between this and Celestial Seasoning’s Raspberry Zinger. If Teavana still sold this one, I might try to do a side-by-side comparison. But moot point now :)

Definitely tangy, almost sour, but honey rounds it out wonderfully.

It’s really tangy, and really nice to look at. I drink most my teas unsweetened, but I think this would go well with some natural sugar to help balance out the tangy a tad. This is only a suggestion if you don’t like tangy teas. I personally love it, but next time I’m going to try it sweetened and iced.
