This Fair Trade Certified organic loose leaf tea is visually stunning with its combination of dried red raspberries and organic green tea leaves. Even more stunning is the pink tinted infusion created by the berries. Don't worry; it really IS a green tea! The tart red raspberry flavor and hibiscus of this light-bodied infusion practically masks the green tea in the background. Like all of our tea blends, our Raspberry Green Tea uses only the highest quality teas, essential oils and botanical ingredients, ensuring an excellent cup every time!
Ingredients: organic and Fair Trade Certified Chinese green tea, organic raspberries, organic hibiscus, and natural raspberry flavor
Our delicious flavored teas use the same top-quality organic tea that we offer in our unflavored varieties, but are blended with pieces of real fruit, spices, flowers, and 100% natural flavors. When blending our teas, our goal is to create a cup that balances the taste of the tea with the flavors of the additional ingredients so that neither one overpowers. All of the natural flavors we use are either extracts taken directly from the botanical ingredient, or extracted using 100% GMO-free grain alcohol as a solvent. You can rest assured that none of the flavors used in our blends are synthetically or artificially derived, and do not use artificial preservatives.
At Arbor Teas, we believe tea should be brewed to suit your personal taste. We’re happy to make recommendations to get you started, but don’t hesitate to experiment! When brewing your tea, your main considerations are tea quantity, water temperature, and steeping time. We recommend green and white teas to be steeped for 2 to 3 minutes in water heated to not-quite-boiling, just as bubbles begin to form on the bottom of the pan (approximately 170 to 180 degrees F). For the best flavor, use fresh water whenever possible. Try not to steep your tea longer than necessary, as you’ll extract undesirable bitterness from the leaves. If you want a stronger brew, don’t steep longer, just use more tea. And don’t forget to re-steep your tea leaves to get the most out of your leaf!

"I served this to my daughters girl scout troop!"
"A good choice for those looking for a green tea blend without a prominent green tea flavor."
"This tea reminds me of a tart berry tisane, yet it offers all of the health benefits of green tea!"
I love green tea but sometimes want a fruity infusion to mix it up. I used to drink mango green tea but this raspberry is my new go-to. Does not taste artificial like some flavored teas do. I got the sample but will be back for the regular size soon.
I really loved the flavor and the smell. It is strong but I personally think it does not smell artificially. I think it smells great and natural. However, I realized that the taste is a little too sour for me. So, I would probably prefer to have less hibiscus in it. Other than that, it is another great tea in my collection.
Beautiful color with strong natural raspberry flavor. You would never guess this was a green tea. Great iced. For added fun in the summer, make it a mojito without the rum by adding mint. It's very refreshing this way. Per ounce mix in .25 ounces mint.
Sometimes I like a hint of favor in my tea, but this was overwhelmingly raspberry. I kept pulling the dried fruit out and throwing them in a jar so I ended up with about one half to one third of the amount of dried raspberry, which I found more satisfactory. I'm still using up the dried fruit with my plain green tea...a nice addition.
I ordered 10 oz of this tea months ago, thinking it would be a perfect alternative to my usual jasmine pearl and Japanese Gyokuro green teas, but it's still sitting untouched in the storage tin, save for the first pot I made. The flavoring is so overpowering and artificial-tasting that I can't bring myself to brew it.
I gave a flavored green tea sampler pack to my sister for christmas. She said this was her favorite so I ordered it to try it out. After reading the reviews, I didn't have high expectations but I was pleasantly surprised. The flavors are delicate and nuanced. The color of the steeped tea is a beautiful pink color. I sweetened it with a tiny amount of stevia. I will purchase this again.
Was hoping for more I guess. I have brewed longer times, variances in water temp. Just can't get a powerful flavor. I was only thinking this as it is a flavored tea, and can only get a hint of the raspberry flavor. It's good though, just seems a bit light to me.
When I found Arbor tea website, I was quite excited knowing the teas are top quality and the owners are keeping good eco and responsible thoughts for the business. Audrey had carefully answered my email about how Arbor tea are flavored. (THANK YOU Audrey!) I was willing to give flavored teas a chance because I tried to avoid anything artificial. I have found my kind of raspberry tea finally! I knew raspberry tea were the tea I tried to avoid the most in the past because of the acidic/sharp taste of raspberry usually overpower everything else, including the snacks. NOT THIS ONE!!! It's very smooth! The raspberry flavor goes very well with green tea surprisingly. Even when I let the tea leaves sit in the cup for a while, the tea just become stronger not sharper :) AMAZING!! I love cooking and baking. I think good quality drinks/foods truly inspire our senses. I'm so happy that I started with raspberry tea this morning. Highly recommend!!! I can't wait to try other kinds :)
I'll start this review with a caveat - I typically prefer black teas to green teas. Green tea usually has too much of an earthy/vegetal taste for me, however I've been trying to sample more green teas to expand my pallet. If you like green tea taste you'll love this tea - the raspberry is fairly subtle but noticeable and does not overpower the green tea. The green tea taste was a bit overpowering for me, but would be perfectly delicious for people who enjoy green tea more than I do.
My wife wanted to try this because she was looking for a fruity tea but loves green tea. . . . . . that can be a pain to find! She came across this and I have to admit, I had doubts about it. I am not much of a raspberry fan and was afraid that the taste would be overpowering and taste almost . . . .fake. I was wrong; this tea, I would say, gave off just a hint of raspberry without being overpowering and it followed with a wonderful green tea flavor. I would advise making this tea in a glass teapot. The reason being that it is a real pleasure just to watch the tea brew. The tea leaves, are for the most part, fully intact, whole leaves. As it brews, it gives off a nice light pink infusion. I was able to get three infusions before the raspberry pieces became used up. Another great tea from Arbor Teas!
I love the light flavor of raspberry mixed in with the green tea leaves. It does take a little longer to brew but its definitely worth the wait.
I really enjoy this raspberry tea. I do steep for an extended time to get the most flavor that I can. This would be nice either hot or cold.
We really enjoy the raspberry green tea - it goes so well with our pies.
I normally don't care for flavored teas. I got the raspberry green tea by mistake but am delighted with it. I like to leave everything in the cup and munch as much as drink; this subtle tea rewards that policy: the raspberry bits float on top providing tiny tart exclamations of flavor, while the mellow tea leaves rest quietly at the bottom showing no bitterness or astringency even after long immersion. This tea tastes like desert!
I am a big fan of teas blended with fruit or herbal ingredients and this one is just the thing. Unlike the usual fruit blends that have a strong hibiscus base, here the hibiscus takes more of a back seat, and doesn't cover up the raspberry.
This is a mild green that does not seem to get bitter with a longer brew. That is a good feature since a longer brew is needed to appreciate the raspberry flavor. I like the red color before brewing. When brewed it is a delicate tan/pink. A great tea for a change from the usual!
Tart and mouth puckering with earthy, beet-like undertones and a light sweetness
