Raspberry Zinger by Celestial Seasonings: How Raspberry Tea Should Taste!

October 11, 2012 by Emily 3 Comments

Peach Raspberry TeaIf you pride yourself on being a tea connoisseur (*raises hand*), then you probably have noticed something about raspberry tea: it’s either bizarre and artificial-tasting, or it’s blissful and awesome-tasting. It’s one of my personal obsessions, so it’s safe to say I’ve tried every raspberry tea known to tea lovers.

While raspberry tea can, at times, be hit or miss, Raspberry Zinger from Celestial Seasonings is a HIT (all caps).  Like bases-loaded, let’s-score-the-winning-run sort of hit.

My favorite thing about this tea is the tartness you can detect: nothing sugary, but a taste slightly sour, like it should be with a raspberry tea.

It tastes exactly how raspberry tea fanatics (*raises hand again*) want their tea to taste – sublime.

Raspberry Zinger is delicious both iced and hot, which surprises me because normally raspberry tea is something I only want on ice. This particular raspberry tea is out of this world either way.

The listed ingredients for the tea are hibiscus, rosehips, roasted chicory, orange peel, blackberry leaves, natural raspberry flavor with other natural flavors (contains soy lecithin), raspberries and raspberry leaves.  Just brew your bag in about 8 ounces of boiling (or near-boiling, in my case) water for around 5 minutes (4 to 6, the company says), and enjoy!

The Celestial Seasonings Raspberry Zinger may be in the “new look” box you see pictured here or may show up in your store in its old school “raspberry-colored” box.

In addition to having one of the best Raspberry teas I’ve tried, Celestial Seasonings also has a Fruit Tea Variety Pack (raspberry, peach, wild berry, blueberry, and black cherry) I’m obsessed with – as in I never allow myself to even come close to running out. Each of the flavors is more delicious than words could describe.

One of my favorite teas in the world is pictured above. I make up a Raspberry Peach tea by brewing an equal number of peach and raspberry tea bags. When ready, I pour the tea over ice and add a couple of partially thawed peach slices. HEAVEN.

Logan’s Roadhouse Raspberry Tea

February 10, 2012 by Joi Leave a Comment

Logan's Roadhouse Raspberry TeaWhen dining out, I’m always as anxious to try the restaurant’s tea as I am the food.  Well, unless the food involves catfish or onion rings. Those are the deal breakers for this tea fanatic.

I get a special thrill when I see that the restaurant has several varieties and/or flavors of tea.  On a recent trip to Logan’s Roadhouse in Owensboro, Kentucky, I was delighted to see Raspberry and Peach tea both on the menu.  The only problem is this presents me with a major decision to make.  I went with Raspberry tea this time because I thought it’d compliment the catfish I KNEW I’d be ordering.  I don’t drink anything stronger than coffee, so matching my tea to my meal is about as highbrow as I get.  Sometimes I even adopt the mannerisms of people who are deciding which wine to have with their meal.  *Assumes snooty voice and high-society disposition*  Why, yes, I do believe a raspberry tea is called for with this meal and for this occasion.

Okay, role-playing over.

Being the first class tea fanatic I am, I’m not terribly picky when it comes to flavored tea.  If it’s heavily flavored, I’m great. If it’s lightly flavored, I’m great – after all, it’s still tea, right?

Logan’s Raspberry tea leans HEAVILY on the lightly flavored side.  How heavily?  I had to taste my husband’s tea to make sure I got the raspberry tea!  I’m not complaining, because it was delicious and, as we just determined, it was still tea.  However, if you love for your raspberry tea to cop a raspberry attitude, you’d be better off ordering raspberry tea at Cracker Barrel.

True story: When my husband and I came home from Logan’s, I made a tall glass of raspberry iced tea (courtesy of Celestial Seasonings Cool Brew Raspberry tea bags).  I wanted to make sure I hadn’t lost my valuable Raspberry tea taste buds or anything.  Fortunately, they were still very much accounted for – they’d just been napping. They’re cute like that.

If you don’t mind a whisper of flavor… or perhaps even less than a whisper (I think my raspberry tea had laryngitis), Logan’s Raspberry tea is the tea for you.  Their black iced tea is very, very good.  Really, you may as well stick with that.
