Celestial Seasonings Wild Berry Zinger Herbal Tea, Caffeine Free, 20 Tea Bags Box

I've a friend who lives in Colorado and a group of us went up to visit her for a "girls week" several years ago. She took us around the state to several "tourist" venues, which included a tour of the Celestial Seasonings Plant. We had so much fun and it was really interesting learning about the different "spices" they use to make their herbal teas. (As an aside, we learned that herbal tea is not actually tea because it does not include any tea leaves, only spices. Additionally, they keep the peppermint in a separate room because the smell is so strong - AMAZINGLY strong - it would permeate the other spices and effect their flavor.) We were able to do some taste testing, as well as smelling their great "tea spices". I'm a huge raspberry fan, but have never been thrilled with the raspberry flavored tea they have at restaurants. Learning what I did from the tour, I tried their Raspberry Zinger and absolutely fell in love! This stuff is great whether you drink it hot or turn it into cold tea (which is FABULOUS during the summer months). I buy this stuff on the regular and have never been disappointed. FUN FACT - Tea (including herbal tea) does not "go bad", it just gets weaker over time....so you don't have to throw it out, you just may need to use more than one bag!

My wife has been drinking this particular brand and flavor of tea since she reached the third trimester of her of first pregnancy and is actually due with our second and day now. She says she enjoys the tea cold or room temperature and appreciates that there is no added sugars as she has PCOS. It smells very nice and blends (steeps) nicely. My wife likes to use two tea bags per two cups of water and says the box lasts her a good while making it a good value. The box was not damaged upon arrival and the tea bags themselves are sturdy.

I work in a daycare as the nutritionist, and I've become obsessed with teas as a healthy addition to my daily micro nutrients routine. I don't keep my tea to myself, as I'm always sharing with various teachers according to what their needs may be on any given day.I've tried everything from our local Walmart, tjmaxx and Marshall's. I scour tea shelves in every grocery store when I stop in to buy a few things. I own entirely too much tea, but it's become an obsession to find the best teas available for less cost.This Sangria Zinger tea is some of the best value-priced and healthy teas I have found that can just give you a little refreshing moment. Mine arrived in time for my Friday-after-work-cuppa joy. The ingredients are some items found on lists to help with inflammation... And with my favorite raw honey and a decent splash of key lime juice, this tea will be a repeat order for me! I've been obsessed with cherry blossom teas, but this one is a happy surprise for me!I was a barista in a previous lifetime, and learned a little about tea prep there. If we'd had this Sangria tea, it would have made so many people who didn't actually like coffee, yet wanted a comforting warm beverage in their hand giddy after the first sip.One secret is using more honey than you feel comfortable with. Too often, people think one spoonful is enough. Coat the entire bottom of the cup - about three teaspoons. I have grown to love my splash of lemon (or key lime) juice as well. We never did that in the coffee shop, but it would have sold more tea. I was also impressed with the Raspberry Zinger from this line of tea, it was fabulous for a previously miserable first day when too many of the girls at work synched up. The Black Cherry Berry is my new Saturday morning treat.If you're worried about trying celestial seasonings teas because of the price, just keep in mind that they reduce their carbon footprint by not having strings on teabags, and no individual wrappers - they're in a waxed pouch inside a cardboard box with pretty art on it. I wish they made tins to store my teabags in, and I could just refill that... But repurposed honey jars from my favorite company work just a well.

I drink this instead of black tea late in the evening. It might be just the lack of caffeine that works well or it might also be something soothing in the tea. Try it; you will like it.

Ok

If you are diabetic, and want something with flavor, but no sugar, I highly recommend this. I make a 3 cup jar every morning and divide it between lunch and supper, I usually drink it cold, but sometimes I take the chill off in the microwave. This flavor I prefer unsweetened, but a couple others need a bit of honey for my taste.I've been drinking this (and a couple other flavors) for years, tried Celestial Season herbal tea, liked it, tried different flavors over the years, but always come back to Wild berry, Raspberry, and Blueberry (none of which I need to sweeten).

Good tasting tea ut not what I was looking for.

This is a yummy flavor and brand
