Tastes Like: raspberry liqueur, burnt sugar, brownie
Feels Like: a black evening gown

This sultry black tea has real pieces of raspberry and caramel. Brewing it is an aromatic seduction, redolent of lava cake with molten raspberry syrup. In the first sip, you taste the bright, satiny flavor of raspberry, which is a perfect complement to mild malty tea. There is a lovely burnt sugar bite that lingers pleasantly on the tongue. Like luxury chocolate truffles wrapped in black ribbon, it is its own special occasion full of surprise and delight. Milk adds a frosting-like quality, truly the icing on the cake.

📝 Blender's Notes

Raspberry is my favorite fruit since I was a child. There's nothing quite like the sensation of eating a fuzzy magenta raspberry. Razzmatazz is a mild black tea, similar to the black tea base of Passage. I choose a mild malty tea for this base to allow the softer slightly floral sweet-tart character of raspberry come through. It's a silky elegant tea that I feel is perfect for afternoon or after dinner tea, if you do caffeine after dark. 

The uncommon twist in Razzmatazz is the contrast of deep burnt sugar and bright raspberry. Imagine the delectable taste of raspberry jam cooking or raspberry pie when the fruit and sugar brown and burn a bit on the edge of the baking dish. The result is a super aromatic, naturally sweet tea that is at once rich and mild. It has a bit of brownie edge flavor in the finish although there are no chocolate or cacao ingredients whatsoever. It's phenomenal with a splash of your favorite milk. I don't think it needs sugar, but add some if you want to experiment. It makes a phenomenal iced tea. So much so that I can hardly wait for summer to enjoy it on ice.

My new favorite

This one I just bought on a whim … I love raspberry but not necessarily the tartness. This one is perfect … Rich raspberry that tastes more decadent than fruity. The burnt sugar reminds me of Low Country (my previous favorite) and it’s strong enough to hold up to a bit of sweetener and cream. I’ll definitely be reordering this one!

So delicious

When I saw this tea, I couldn’t wait to order it. I am a big fan of raspberry and the Burnt sugar blend. It is such a smooth blend and it tastes like heaven in a cup. I had homemade raspberry syrup that I used and it enhanced the tea so well. This is another blend that I will definitely be keeping on hand.

Hot or cold it’s pure gold!

The only raspberry is bright and the burnt sugar smooths it out. With a little cream the hot tea is rich and full, iced it’s the perfect blend of bright, tart and sweet. Hot or cold it’s pure gold and the perfect drink year round. Enjoy!

Raspberry perfection!

Raspberry is one of my favorite flavors, so I jumped on this as soon as I saw it, and it did not disappoint! The smell is pure raspberry; the flavor is sweet and fruity without being cloying. All around a lovely new tea!

Cup of kindness

This tea is definitely yummy — it’s like drinking a delicious raspberry cookie! It’s perfect after dinner because it feels like dessert. As an iced tea it would be so nice on a summer afternoon.

I must add that my original order was lost in the mail, so I contacted August and they replaced my order immediately. Definitely did not expect that kindness!
