I think I got this from Tamm. Not sure. I’ve been doing so many swaps lately and just tossed all my samples together. I suck.
The looks really pretty. Dark green against bright red. Lovely. I wasn’t expecting much from the taste since that was just too many dried berries in there. I added extra leaf so that I’d taste the tea. This tastes mostly like tart freeze dried raspberry… I think this is one of those teas that Teavana formulated so that it only tastes good sweetened. When it cools, you can detect the floral and slightly vegetal oolong base. It’s a shame about the berries because I think the oolong would be a lot tastier without them. And the berries would be a lot tastier in my cereal.
I may try this cold brewed for my husband. :) I think it would work better that way.

I’m thinking that too. The last cup I had I actually separated from the freeze dried berries because I actually like the tea base, just not the added stuff.
The newer blend of this is sans strawberries btw.
i didn’t even notice the strawberries so I guess it wouldn’t make a difference for me. hehe Sounds like too much work to pick all the berries out. I’ll just have Husband drink it. He’ll like it since he sweetens everything!
LOL maybe I’m wrong about what kinds of berries? This is totally expected. lolol My husband didn’t like this one. He likes his to not taste like tea. :p
You’re probably not wrong. I just didn’t look too hard, I think. My husband doesn’t mind tea as long as it’s flavored and sweet, which this one will be. He really hates savory teas though, so all my lovely japanese greens are for me only. Thank goodness! It’s bad enough I have to hide my chocolate so that I can eat some before he does. :)
