I am a Sag, so I may be a little biased :) This is an amazing tea. The first smell you get is a very strong earl grey, then the raspberry and vanilla-cream shine through. I would recommend using a little less than you normally would. The first time I steeped this I used to much and it was a little bitter. Then I scaled back the amount and steeped for 3-4 minutes and it was perfect! I use 1 tsp of sugar to accentuate the raspberry and vanilla. Simply Delish!

I love the Aquarius blend, & I offered to buy some of this for my boyfriend, who is a sag, & who’s fav tea is earl grey, but he didn’t like the idea of raspberry. I’m glad to hear you like it!

I agree with Kate; I think raspberry works.
Maybe I’ll buy him some anyway, LOL, & if he doesn’t like it, I’ll drink it :)
The citrus of the Earl Gray and the raspberry really do complement each other. And the addition of a creamy vanilla tames what could be two potentially potent flavors. I hope your boyfriend (or you) enjoy it!
