badragon's Full Review: Stash Premium Tea, Pomegranate Raspberry Green, 18...
Knowing that I am always looking for new flavors, a friend gave me a box of Stash Pomegranate Raspberry Green Tea. It is, indeed something unusual. This is a "real tea, " not an herbal infusion, which means it does have real tea leaves in it. It also means caffeine for those who are sensitive.
While sweet, this is not as insipidly sweet as some of the flowering teas and infusions. It has a definitely fruity aroma and taste and still has enough backbone from the green tea to stand up for itself without any bitter aftertaste. Probably one of the most curious things about this green tea is that it is red. Hmmm! It also contains Matcha tea - a prized Japanese brew.
Overall Stash Pomegranate Raspberry Green Tea is an energetic brew with a unique combination of fruit flavoring and tea that can be used with or without sweetener. It has enough flavor to stand on its own but is not too strong to drink in the evening if you can handle caffeine. The manufacturer's recommended brew is 8 oz. of boiling water over one tea bag. Let stand for 3-5 minutes. It also suggests 2 tea bags if you will be making iced tea. I think I would also sweeten if it were iced. It is a good addition to my "tea pantry."
