This tea smells amazing, I knew the second I smelled it that I had to have it! I was just a little disappointed that the overwhelming smell didn't come through in taste. I still loved it though. I drink EcoTeas loose leaf mate multiple times every day, so this was a nice change! It most definitely alters your state of mind, in a very good way. I love to drink mate before I go to bed, it keeps me calm and relaxed. The only problem I had with this tea was that it has sort of, the only way I can describe it is "potpourri" flavor that I also find in Peppermint teas. It's nothing bad, just very distinct. I'm excited to try it cold. Overall a great tea, I would buy it again.

Mate Lemon Blast was a staple of mine for about a year. This new tea was to have been its replacement. Did not do it for me. I had it every morning for a while, using up a full four ounces, trying to get it to grow on me. I think it was just too tart (even with my usual stevia), so not enjoyable, and the flavor was just not nice to drink, although it smelled good. To be clear, I love tart things typically, but I suppose it just didn't work for me in a tea. I want my lemon blast back!

I make 2 cups of this, with 3 teaspoons of rock sugar, and then when I put it in the fridge, and if it comes out not sweet enough, i'll just add a little packet of white sugar. It's a very fruit nice taste. I don't think i'd drink ANY tea un-sweetened. A worker let me try some of hers she brewed in the store, and it tasted good. When I got home and made the same tea, it tasted a bit different. I think depending on how I make tea it can taste different. I definitely love this tea, and I can taste all of the flavors..

I was surprised at how well I liked this one. It is perfect as a natural morning pick me up. It is one of the fuitier teas I have tasted. It also makes a wonderful iced tea. The only con is that the raspberry drowns out the lemon

This tea is absolutely amazing. I was looking for a coffee substitute and I definitely found it. The flavors I taste most in this are the raspberry and lemongrass which create a sweet and tangy mix that is exactly what I love in a flavor. As far as what is not so great about this tea I have a few family members who are allergic to grass and the lemongrass in it causes them problems so that is something to consider. Otherwise they all loved it.

I love the tea, but the flavor of the suggested amount doesnt quite cut it, because it is weaker then the smell suggests. Luckily, there is another tea drinker in the house. I wait for them to make theirs, and then add my leaves on top of theirs. The result is a far stronger, fuller tea that tastes even more awesome.

At first taste, I was hit with the tartness of this tea, but before I could be offended, it gave such a smooth, rich berry flavor that I could only be delighted. Perfect to overcome that afternoon energy slump.

This tea is one of my favorite. its great as ice tea, and doesn't even need to be sweetened at all. ill make a batch and keep it refrigerated in a large bottle to drink over a few days.

I drink this mate every morning in place of coffee. All summer I've been brewing it double-strong and then pouring over ice, which makes for a great fruity, summer-y sort of drink. I have blended it with black tea, white tea, and herbal tea. Usually, the raspberry overpowers most other flavors I pair it with, but that's also because I add more of the mate because I need the caffeine. I love this stuff, and will be ordering it in larger quantities from now on.

I like my tea strong, and unsweetened, but not bitter. I brewed this with 3 tsp for 6 minutes, and I really enjoyed the results.
The flavor is fruity, but yet has an earthy undertone that really rounds out the taste. I particularly enjoy this as it makes the flavor more complex, and not just straight in your face fruity. Its very smooth as well. I am definitely going to always have this tea in my cabinet.

I have to say, this is probably my favorite of the teavana teas I've had so far. It's a delicious mid-day pick-me-up, whether hot or iced. I will say that it is very sweet, so if that's not your thing, you may not like it. But this is just such a tasty tea, I can't resist it!

For me, this tea is fantastic. It is a great alternative to coffee because it wakes me up. It looks beautiful, smells wonderful, and tastes great! It may not be the best for everyone since the taste of the fruit and lemons can be quite strong - but I like that in a tea. Whenever I introduce a friend to Teavana, this is the first tea that I recommend.
