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