I enjoyed this tea. The scent and flavor are both like a dark chocolate raspberry candy (my partner said tootsie pop, and he is evidently not alone!). It’s not enough to overpower the tea, and it’s still there in every sip. I am a big fan of chocolate and raspberry together, and even with the raspberry leaning a little more candy-like here, it works for me.

Great at buying tea, okay at drinking tea, awful at timely reviews. Drawn to fruit, floral, spice, smoke, and flavored teas in general; prefer those that stand well without milk or sweetener. Black is fine, green is better, and red rooibos is trash.
My ratings are for me, so I don’t accidentally buy something that sounds amazing but I’ve already tried and disliked. I struggle a bit with wanting to be “fair” to a tea that other people would probably like, but then my system won’t work!
90-100 A: loved it; would make this a permanent member of my stash
80-89 B: tasty; would pick it up again
70-79 C: good; could grab with a good deal or to try in a different style
60-69 D: okay; would keep in a set but probably would not repurchase on its own
1-59 F: various shades of bad; would not purchase; closer to 1 means may not even drink again if offered.
Ha ha yes, I also got raspberry Tootsie Pop!
It made me laugh when he said it, because I’d just read your review!
