Very lemony and refreshing. Nice wake-up morning tea.

This has the strangest smell. The bergamot and raspberry combine into an odd bouquet when you sniff it, but it extremely tasty in the cup.

Not my absolute favorite from Zhena’s, but one I buy regularly. Strong raspberry and black tea flavor. Worth a taste.

This is good! Lots of mint with a hint of lemon/lime. Rum flavor is really light but adds a little extra something to this tea.

Finally used this whole tin up! Not terrible, but I definitely won’t repurchase (in fact, I don’t plan on buying any more Zhena’s teas… they’ve all been disappointing, unfortunately).

Sad to hear this, was hoping the raspberry earl would be a great treat.

Alannah

There’s really no “raspberry” note to speak of, honestly!

Hi Alannah, looks like your tea cabinet has the Zhena old tea in it- those tins haven’t been in the stores for 4 years/ maybe the raspberries got old? Only mentioning this because it’s my fave tea in the world!

Alannah

To be honest, by now the tea I had was very old but I’ve been drinking it since it first came out and I never tasted any raspberry! I just have never been impressed by anything I’ve tried by Zhena’s (new or old).

Nothing much to say about this one… it tasted especially blah today for some reason. Only a couple of bags left, and I’m not sad about that!

I custom blend my straight earl grey black loose leaf with my raspberry ceylon black loose leaf – and the flavor is through the roof! Not sure if you want to go to the effort. Just wanted to offer my personal experience. :)

Alannah

What brands do you use? I would definitely love to try a blend I could actually taste the raspberry in at some point!

Marie

I use The Metropolitan Tea Company. It’s a wholesaler, and a lot of retailers repackage their tea and name it something different, or keep the same name. I order all of my Met tea (which is sold as Met company tea) through a wonderful, dependable online retailer: www.jollygoodtea.com She’s based in Washington I believe, and she often throws in complementary samples with your order! She’s very professional, and completed and shipped my orders promptly every time.

Marie

You can also check out my steepster cupboard for the raspberry ceylon tea for a quick peek about it. Her prices for flavored ceylon hover between $10 – 12 for 8 oz!! Definitely the best deal I’ve found so far. :)

Alannah

Cool, thanks a lot for the info!

Pulled this one out for today’s morning tea… it’s been a while. Only two bags left, and I think I’m going to let this one go for good after I finish up my current tin. I hate to say it, but none of the Zhena’s blends I’ve tried (4-5 total) have been re-purchase-worthy. As a whole, I’m really not impressed with them.

I know what you mean about Zhena’s…I have the Fireside Chai, but it has a very light flavor..not what I look for in a chai.

Even though I like this tea, I keep looking for the raspberry note to stand out more and I can never quite taste it. Still a good earl grey blend as is, but I don’t know if I’ll buy more when I run out this time.

I think I’m on my third tin of this tea at this point. This was the very first Zhena’s blend I tried and still my favourite! I wish the bags were a little fuller, but the skimpy teabags are pretty typical for American-made tea.

Using 2 bags for my 12 oz mug, gives me strong enough tea for milk and sugar. 6 min steep, flavor is wonderful, not bitter. Lovely aroma to wake up with.

First experience with this one. I like. And I love the canister.

This is one of my favorites. I love adding a dollop of honey for the perfect sweetness.

Great taste and scent. Nice Color. Very smooth for a Chai. If you are looking for a Chai that still has a spiciness to it but isn’t over the top and yet still has a strong pleasant flavor to get you thru your day…this would be it!
