Raspberry Tea

This tea is made by Bentley's; its full name is Bentley's Pure Ceylon Tea Raspberry Tea.

Flavor:  Ceylon has a very light flavor which gives any Ceylon tea a unique taste.  The berry flavor is present, although I feel that there are better berry flavors out there in the tea world.  I also feel that this is not Bentley's best tea either.

Suggested Additions:  Honey makes the berry flavor more prominent, however it also provides a "heavy" taste that hides the light Ceylon flavor.  I would not suggest adding milk to this tea at all.

Ingredients:  Unknown, as they are not listed on the bag, and the box was a wooden tea caddy with no ingredients listed anywhere.

Purpose:  A light tea, good to use in place of an after-lunch dessert.  Although this doesn't seem to be a glowing review, I did enjoy the tea and would drink it again.  A possible option for next time would be to brew it and ice it (good for the summer, maybe with a sprig of mint).
