My Thoughts, Opinions, Feelings, and Notes:

1st attempt

Tis the season for Seasonal Teas! I also tried this one for the first time today but have enjoyed many Zhena’s teas prior to this one. The aroma of this tea is very festive…just like a holiday drink…almost like something with RUM in it. The taste is just as intriguing. It’s very different from anything I have ever tasted. Glad I bought a tin today.

2nd Attempt

2 cups….still reminds me of rum! :P

3rd Attempt

I like this both hot and cold. Had 1 of each tonight…YUM!

Raspberry Earl Grey from Zhena's Gypsy Tea

I admit it. I'm a Tea Nerd...a Tea Freak...I'm obsessed. Not only do I have this blog but I also log 99 percent of my tea experiences on Steepster.com - a great community for tea lovers.

I haven't had this tea in a while but I remember LOVING it. I was going back thru some of my notes on steepster and found the following comments...

Medium Black Colored Tea. Next to no scent once steeped. Average Black Tea taste with nifty raspberry and orange undertones. I still enjoy and like this tea for what it is...pleasant and not pushy.

And below you will see the company's description of this lil gem...

The floral aroma of juicy raspberries is perhaps the perfect complement to the sweet citrus and full-bodied flavor of Earl Grey. This more exceptional version of this classic tea is artisan hand-crafted in small batches and infused with only top-grade essential oils of real fruit to brew a sweet, succulent cup.

Ingredients: Ceylon & Indian Black tea, with Italian Bergamot, Freeze-Dried Raspberries & organic Raspberry flavor.
