Another tea from my box from Youngest – many thanks!

This was my afternoon snack tea, although I readily confess that since I am off all day today that was probably just first snack and second snack might happen in around two hours.
It was paired with two squares of a Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt candy bar, so it wasn’t a terribly large snack. (Preparing my justification for second snack in advance.)

My expectations went back and forth on this one. The name made me think it would be heavy on the berry with some lemonade sweet/tartness. The aroma of the tea leaves made me think it was going to be an astringent grassy green tea with a hint of fruit flavor.

The truth is that it was a moderate strength green tea and not one of the blaring grassy sharp ones. The raspberry and lemon were more muted than I expected, but still good. I think I will probably also try it as a sweet iced tea and see if the fruit comes out more.

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fifteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
