ugh. Just had a couple sips – it tastes fake all around – fake sweetener, fake tea, fake raspberries (ok, there is reconstituted raspberry juice as one of the many fruit/veg juices.)
I could finish it, but I"m not sure I want to. I’m not a big fan of “raspberry green tea” in general, so this flavor was not my 1st choice. I do like most of V-8 Fusion’s juice blends, There’s an open bottle of Tropical Orange in the fridge that I would rather drink.
Props to V-8 for the nice idea of adding the healthy green tea extract to an already good for you drink, but the execution doesn’t work for me on this one.

It actually got better as it got warmer – the fruit came to the fore and the weird fake sugar/tea flavors were more muted. I drank it all. But I still wouldn’t buy it.
That’s a shame! I didn’t get the fake sweetener or the fake raspberries… unfortunately didn’t even get fake tea. My 1st experiences w/ raspberry tea was sweetened RTD stuff and I definitely don’t like that. Loose, unsweetened I like though. I really liked it, but the nutritional value (or lack there of) was the source of the crappy score for me.
