Does anything scream “Hey! It’s summertime!” like a tall glass of sweet raspberry lemonade? A staple at picnics, beach parties and dockside gatherings from Tallahassee to Toronto, raspberry lemonade is all but guaranteed to put a smile on anyone’s lips.
Recently, our Master Taster was served a chilled mason jar of this delectable concoction while sailing from Miami to the Bahamas. As the boat sailed under sunny skies, he took a sip and knew he had a new herb + fruit tea to blend when he got home.
Upon returning to our tasting room, he set about gathering the ingredients for what would become the blend you’re holding now. Dried fruits, flower petals, lemon peel, camomile and more, everything went into the blend. Next, the concoction was drum-rolled with natural flavoring to infuse each piece with juicy raspberry character. He sipped and slurped each iteration of the blend until he’d achieved what he was looking for – pure, lemon-y perfection.
The results of his work can only be described as summer-in-a-cup. Think: roadside lemonade stand lemonade meets fresh pick-your-own-raspberries. Delicious brewed hot, stunning when poured over ice with liquid sweetener, this one’s gonna be hard to put down.
