Name: Raspberry Green<\/a><\/p>\n Type:\u00a0 Green<\/p>\n Region:\u00a0 China<\/p>\n Bought At:\u00a0 Adagio.com<\/a><\/p>\n Price:\u00a0 $2 for a ten cup sample<\/p>\n First Impressions: Sweet and fruity, smells good!<\/p>\n Review:<\/p>\n I was really nervous about trying this week’s tea for a couple reasons.\u00a0 First, the last\u00a0 fruit tea I tried (Cherry Green<\/a>) was absolutely terrible, and second, I love raspberries.\u00a0 When I was growing up my parents owned a raspberry stand and ever since they have been one of my favorite fruits, and I was really excited about finding a good raspberry tea.\u00a0 Luckily, Adagio nailed this one.\u00a0 The tea is both sweet and a little tart, just like its namesake fruit.\u00a0 The fruity flavors blend well with the mellow green they used as the base.\u00a0 I found it interesting that they also included the raspberry leaves in the tea.\u00a0 I’m not sure why they did that (If anyone at adagio reads this feel free to fill me in), but it seems to have worked.\u00a0 A solid tea that nailed my personal tastes, try some!<\/p>\n My Rating: 4 \/ 5<\/p>\n
