Tea tasting: Tea Forté's Raspberry Nectar

Tea Forté does an excellent job with fruity teas, making them sweet and flavorful without becoming cloying.  Their Raspberry Nectar (http://www.teaforte.com/store/gourmet-tea/herbal-tea/raspberry-nectar/) is no exception.  It is rich and brilliant with raspberry flavor.  I dislike having too much hibiscus in my fruit teas; this blend uses the hibiscus well without letting it take over the taste completely.  Raspberry nectar indeed.  Hot or iced, it's got a nice tart-sweet fruity glow.

Adding sweetener to this tea would be far too much.  It doesn't require it; the natural raspberry flavor is sweet enough.  However, I'm wondering what a bit of raspberry syrup, like the kinds they use in coffee shops, would do to this tea.
