Tea tasting: Trader Joe's Raspberry Black

Raspberry is one of my favorite flavors, so I'm always eager to try teas featuring raspberry. Anyone who finds a tea that combines vanilla, raspberry and almond will earn my undying love.

Unfortunately, Trader Joe's Raspberry Black tea is a huge disappointment.  It's a decent black.  But it has nothing in it that makes it raspberry.  There's just the faintest aftertaste of something sweet.

However, combining this tea with the Raspberry Sugar from the Spice and Tea Exchange that I reviewed previously works out incredibly well.  The sugar brings out whatever raspberry qualities should be in this tea as well as adding its own raspberry sweetness.
