A teapal sent me samples of the Malt Shop Collection, so I had a chance to try them all before placing my April Fools’ Day flash sale order.
This tea was what I was hoping Raspberry Cream Pie would be. To my taste buds it tastes like liquefied fresh raspberries. It’s both tart and sweet, and, surprisingly, despite the white base and the short steep time, it’s really quite flavorful. It’s a great light full-on raspberry tea.
