Description
Bigelow Tea Red Raspberry Herbal Tea (Pack of 6) is a premium, fruit-forward bulk tea bundle designed for a vibrant, juicy flavor experience. Unlike standard berry teas that can taste thin or singular, this blend layers multiple tart and sweet fruits to create a rich, robust, and deeply satisfying brew.
What Comes in the Bundle?
- Quantity: You receive a bulk Pack of 6 boxes.
- Tea Bags Per Box: Each box contains 20 tea bags, giving the entire bundle a total yield of 120 tea bags.
- Signature Foil Packaging: Every single tea bag is individually sealed in Bigelow's airtight foil pouch. This crucial layer locks in the volatile fruit oils and protects the dried botanicals from air, light, and moisture, ensuring your last cup tastes just as fresh and punchy as the first.
Flavor Profile & Key Ingredients
This blend treats red raspberry as the star flavor, but grounds it with complementary fruits and flowers to mimic the taste of fresh-picked summer berries:
- Hibiscus & Rosehips: These two botanicals form the heart of the tea. They give the brew its stunning, vibrant ruby-red color and provide a crisp, tongue-tingling tartness.
- Real Apples & Red Raspberries: Natural apple pieces add a comforting, mellow sweetness that naturally softens the sharp bite of the hibiscus, while real raspberry pieces and natural flavors deliver a bold, juicy berry punch.
- Elderberries: Added to introduce a deeper, darker, and slightly earthy berry complexity to the blend, rounding out the top-heavy sweetness of the raspberry.
- Roasted Chicory Root: A touch of chicory provides a smooth, full-bodied mouthfeel so the tea never tastes like watered-down fruit juice.
Dietary & Quality Highlights
- Naturally Caffeine-Free: Because this is a 100% herbal and fruit formulation containing zero actual tea leaves (Camellia sinensis), it is entirely stimulant-free. It is a fantastic option for all-day hydration or a comforting evening wind-down.
- Clean-Label Standards: The recipe is free from artificial colors, artificial flavors, and preservatives.
- Certifications: Certified Gluten-Free, Non-GMO Project Verified, and Kosher Parve.
- Zero Sugar & Calories: Despite its intense, dessert-like fruity sweetness, it contains 0g of sugar and 0 calories per serving when enjoyed plain.
How to Prepare It (Hot or Iced)
Because fruit peels and hearty botanicals release their best flavors in high heat, proper brewing unlocks the full berry experience:
- For a Hot Mug: Pour 8 fluid ounces of rolling boiling water directly over 1 tea bag. Steep for 4 to 6 minutes. Leaving it in for the full 6 minutes will yield a much deeper red color and a stronger, deliciously puckery fruit bite.
- For a Refreshing Iced Raspberry Tea: This flavor makes an exceptional iced beverage. Brew 4 to 5 tea bags in a quart of boiling water for 8 minutes. Let it cool completely, then serve over ice with a handful of fresh berries or a sprig of mint for a crisp, zero-sugar summer cooler.
