I’m from the south ya’ll. And while I don’t use “ya’ll” anymore, I grew up honestly thinking “flowerdy” was a word. Such as, “I sure do like your new flowerdy curtains.” So I claim to know a bit about iced tea.
I was delighted to review some iced teas for Just Organic. Raspberry was my first choice, since I love all things raspberry. When I was growing up, we would brew tea bags in boiling water and then add more water to it (after a lot of sugar of course). The packaging on this bag didn’t say if I should brew it straight up or dilute after, so I decided to steep it and then chill it. I like my iced tea strong anyway. It sat in the fridge for a few hours and then I had it over ice.
The raspberry flavor is behind the base a bit. Since I know it’s there I can find it, but it doesn’t slap me around. It was nice enough, and I will enjoy drinking the rest of the quart, but there was no wow factor.
You know what I would love to have in a tea bag at home, and what I hoped this would taste like, is the tea they serve at Biaggi’s. It’s black currant or something but tastes like raspberry. Can anyone get on that?
Thanks for the great feedback! This really helps.
I thought the same thing about this tea! The raspberry just didn’t pack a punch.
