I have the loose leaf variety and prefer to do a quick brew with this tea. I believe by increasing the amount of tea and lowering the steep time that it decreases some of the bitterness and allows the floral flavors to peak through.

This tea is ver tart and I was unable to drink it buy itself. I had to add 2 table spoons of honey before it was drinkable.

It is a fruity tea that is slightly tart and with a subtle sweetness. It makes a wonderful iced tea and pairs well with honey instead of sugar but whatever you do, do not add milk or cream. I tried this once and my milk curdled from the acidness of the raspberries.

Brewed Strong it has a very strong smokey flavor with a very bitter after taste. Brewed weaker its has more floral accents of orchid with a smokey wood flavor. It also has very little bitter after taste that fades quickly.

I have the loose leaf version and it has a mellow flavor. It does not have a very strong citrus or bergamot flavor.
