Fresh China green tea with playful raspberry. Candy aroma, jammy flavor, slightly dry and not too 'cheeky.'

Raspberry and green tea-two flavors low on my desired tea list! I chose to cold steep this blend for 7 hours. The resulting tea was very mild green with a light raspberry rose flavor. All in all it was pleasant and light, with the raspberry and rose blending into a weird combo flavor. It’s not a flavor blend I would search out, but could drink again if offered.
I tend to lean towards the green teas that have citrus flavors. I am just not a big fan of most green teas. I tried this one hot and cold and did not care for it either way. The raspberry taste was off, maybe artificial? Green tea lovers may feel differently about this tea. But if you don’t love green tea then this is probably not the one for you. Steeped this tea at 180° for 3 mins.
I’m starting to find I gravitate towards green teas. And this one is delicious! The smell hit me as soon as I opened the packet! It just smells like summer! It has a nice light raspberry flavor. I’m a fan 👍🏻
It smelled like summer and had a very subtle taste.
This tea tastes like someone distilled the smell of my grandmother's bathroom and put it in green tea. It's both nostolgic and gross, and somehow lacking in flavor all at the same time.
This is a lovely, fruity green tea that steeps up light and refreshing in the cup. The raspberry comes across as a delightful scent in the packet, and less strongly in the tea itself. It's more of a sweet seasoning for the green tea than a player on its own. I've made this both on its own and mixed half and half by weight with chamomile; if you're looking for something different, it's a fun twist. I would drink this either hot or iced. (2m30s @ 165 F, no additions)
What a wonderful green tea. Just what I needed today. Great raspberry brightness and the earthiness of a light green tea.
An excellent and fruity green tea. It made for an enjoyable cup today.
Sipping along with the CommuniTEA today: Strong scents of raspberry powder flavoring and grassy green tea. Once steeped for 2.5 mins at 185°F, I mainly notice typical subtle grassy green tea with a hint of red berry fruit from the nose of my cup. When I take a sip, I detect a pucker inducing berry sensation followed by wet straw-like notes, finishing with sweet raspberry fruit balanced out with a hint of salinity lingering on the palate.
Disclaimer, I am generally not a fan of green tea (though I have found some I do enjoy), and this flavor profile is the reason I always stated in the past that I hated all green tea. This had a grassy aroma dry and brewed, and a very grassy flavor. I couldn't taste any raspberry or fruity notes. To its credit, it was smooth and not bitter or overly astringent. I feel like I could power through it if someone offered it to me, but today it went down the drain after a few sips. (reviewed through CommuniTEA; 2 min @ 180)
**This is my first green tea! So I may just be inexperienced.
This tea definitely smells like raspberry when dry, but my packet had only a couple tiny pieces of actual raspberry. This is my first time trying green tea, so I'm not sure if it's normal or not, but the steep smelled a lot like how a grass-flavored jelly bean (Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans) tastes, and it was quite off-putting. I may have over-sweetened it, but the flavor was alright - delicate raspberry, and did not taste grassy, thankfully. I already ordered the Orchard Greens sampler box, so I'm interested to see what other greens are like. In general, interesting!
I had high hopes for this one because I love raspberries and I like the cherry green tea offered by Adagio. Something about this particular tea is off though, and I can’t pinpoint if it’s the raspberry flavoring or the green tea. Perhaps it’s just the flavor combination. I would pass on this one in the future.
Raspberry with a hint of green tea. Rose flavor comes out a bit too. This is a decent enough sip, I suppose, but not something I’m excited about.
Very faint taste of raspberry, mostly tasted like green tea.
Very sweet and fruity. “Jammy” is a good description. There is a slight astringency in the finish.
This one is a straightforward cup of deliciousness. There is just enough raspberry that it is evident but not so much that it overwhelms the green tea. A sturdy summer sipper! Happy Sipping!
This is delightful! Nice, light, not too grassy tasting green tea plays nicely with my favorite fruit: raspberry!
I enjoyed this blend even though I am not a green tea lover. Brewed at lower temp for delicate leaves 2 min. Added sugar. It reminded me a bit of Snapple’s Raspberry iced tea.
With only a couple of ingredients which are all of my favorites I was very excited about this tea. I love the gentle green tea and the rather strong raspberry flavor. I'm excited to try this cold too but hot I love this tea, I'm putting it on my next order now.
The aroma from the leaves almost has a medicinal quality to it, but in my opinion the raspberry flavor of this tea is not too artificial, though I understand those who might feel that it is. For me, I taste a raspberry sauce flavor that would be poured over a dessert, in concert with a standard green tea base. This tea is quite enjoyable to me, although it isn't an earth-shattering blend.
I am not a huge fan of green tea (always tastes weirdly fishy to me). This one was not terrible; I think the sweetness of the raspberry downplayed the greeniness of the tea, making it a bit more pleasant. Still not my favorite.
Although i'm not a big fan of artificial flavoring in my black teas i didn't mind it in this green tea. Very little bitterness at all quite smooth and gives you the calming presence of morning sunrise as you start your day. Rasberry was not overpowering but slightly artificial however the rose petals give decieve you into thinking its more natural than it is. tea was perfect amount of green/rasberry flavor without being oversweet.
Let me start by saying I love raspberry teas. This smelled amazing out of the packet so I had very high hopes. When I brewed it, it had no raspberry flavor at all. It had an unpleasant green tea flavor.
Green tea and raspberries combine well to create a pleasing cup of tea this morning.
The smell is amazing! The raspberry wasn't overpowering.
I steeped hot, adding add some of Adagios dried raspberries, then chilled it in the fridge. I Enjoyed the raspberry aroma and flavor of todays tea. I do prefer black teas but this green blend had a nice earthy taste with a hint of sweetness. Very refreshing. (2 mins @ 180° then chilled)
I really quite like this one! It's a light green tea which leaves plenty of room for the raspberry to shine. It's not a sweet raspberry taste, it's a lovely tart rasberry. The tea isn't very astringent so it's a very refreshing cup!
The raspberry flavor was very light in my Communitea May 6th sampler packet. It didn’t taste exactly like fresh raspberries, but it was good. It might be the rose in there that was creating a different vibe.
Not as grassy as some green teas can be. Fruit is a good compliment. Wish I had enough to try it cold brew too.
I removed the rose petals from this tea before brewing -- or as many as I could -- because I don't like rose petals in my tea. The combo of raspberry and rose didn't sound good at all. Brewed 180F, 3 minutes. The taste is ok...the raspberry flavor seems artificial. Combined with a light green tea, the raspberry flavor seemed to just over power the tea. Just not a tea for me. Definitely a quality tea -- it unfurled in my brewer marvelously, but just not a taste I like. A green tea fan would probably love this one...
This was very good cold-brewed. Delicate raspberry-ish flavor, gets a little bitter if you don’t use enough water.
The fruity flavor is strong, but not too sweet. It's great hot and even better iced in the summer
Has a nice raspberry flavor but taste a little artificial.
I love this tea - the raspberry is really prevalent but it isn't too sweet or too tart. I don't need any sweetener either. Just a great, afternoon-at-work tea. I steep for 2.5 min; if I steep any longer, the tea gets bitter for me.
I love the bright, tart raspberry flavor of this tea. It s a fruity, refreshing cup that I also find to be soothing. I ve been drinking this in the mornings lately, and it s the perfect start to my day.
I liked this tea, however I feel like it could have had a stronger raspberry flavor.
I have not received my cherry marzipan but all the tea I’ve ordered and tasted is great and requires no sweetener.
This is good, subtle flavor, good taste, liked it a lot
The raspberry needs to be stronger, in my opinion. It gets lost against the green tea.
This has quickly become one of my favorite teas. The green and raspberry together are both very full flavors that blend really well together.
Love the raspberry aroma and flavor of this all time favorite!
okay so this definitely took me back to my childhood? it smells exactly like how blue fundip tastes and is AMAZING
This is a nice refreshing green tea, can't wait to try it iced!
This teas is naturally sweetened with raspberries to enjoy year round. One cup starts my day smiling.
My daughter requests this raspberry green on a frequent basis. Nice light green tea with a touch of raspberry.
A staple for over 10 years now. A wonderful hint of raspberry sweetness with a good green. If steeped well (no over-steeped), it's one of the lightest and cleanest flavored greens. Highly recommended.
My mom loves this tea, and my last purchase of it was a 16oz pack for her. Her review is, 'It has a nice light raspberry flavor, not overwhelming. It's reminiscent of a tea I enjoyed at a tea room and bakery, so this one is a great find.' ~ ~ Mom says it well! I’ve also gotten this one for myself. It’s a very pleasant green. I loved the level of raspberry, and it’s good with or without sweetener and hot or cold.
Really good raspberry flavor that pairs well with the green tea. Definitely will buy again.
My husband discovered this tea after always drinking Apricot Green every morning. It is one of his new favorites.
The raspberry scent/flavor was very perfumey. I could only tolerate a few sips before I had to empty it into the sink. The smell is lingering in the air like a cheap candle. Very disappointed, I love just about every other flavor I've tried!
