Taster’s Review:
This Earl Grey Black Tea from Zest Tea is more than just a black tea. It’s more than your average Earl Grey tea. What makes this different from others is the caffeine content. Zest Tea prides themselves on being the most caffeinated tea on the market. They have 3 times the caffeine than other standard black teas. This fills a nice niche for those who like tea but also need that caffeine buzz early in the morning (or any time of day, really.)
With this specific tea – being as highly caffeinated as it is – you may be surprised that there is little to no jitters or crash like with other caffeine crazed beverages. Zest Tea is packed with amino acids, including L-Theanine, which has a synergistic relationship with caffeine and helps to moderate caffeine’s effects according to their website.
I have to say the first time I tasted this tea I wasn’t sure my opinions at first but long term results shows I ended up enjoying the tea because my tin is near empty. I’m actually holding on to the last bag for a day when I REALLY need it!
The taste was a bit hardcore at first. It kind of reminded me of those chocolate covered caffeine balls I had years ago and/or chocolate covered coffee beans. I’m not saying they actually TASTED like coffee but the taste of pure caffeine, I guess. Anyhow…After I got past that initial shock of flavor I noticed the strong black tea base which was pretty good. There was the Earl Grey flavor, yes, but it wasn’t your standard Earl Grey that you have come to know and love. I would say 60/40 caffeine to Earl Grey flavor ratio.
The draw to this tea is that it DOES provide you with that pick-me-up and that is EXACTLY what I used it for an kept it on hand for. Overall I appreciate this tea as a NovelTEA and ended up really liking it on those hard-to-get-into-mornings!

Tasters Review:
Here at SororiTEA Sisters we have reviewed a handful of the GreenTeaHP/Green Tea Pros Products and I must say they continue to amaze us for different reasons! One of those reasons, for me at least, is that their flavors actually DO smell and taste completely different that their other flavors! I have had other ‘products’ from other companies who claim they have all these different flavors, but to me, they all seem to taste the same or at the very most taste very similar! But NOT at GreenTeaHP/Green Tea Pros! They do it right! Each of their MANY flavors has their own personality, aroma, taste, and mission! And I LOVE that!
As for their Raspberry Cream…I give it a sparkling review!
It has a Raspberry Mocha type taste to it that I really like! It smells like Raspberry…very pleasant! The “mocha” taste I will chalk up to being the “cream” part of it. It gives you a kick at the beginning of the sip and a smoother finish. It has a lighter and semi-smooth aftertaste that I also appreciate!
Another good product from our friends at GreenTeaHP/Green Tea Pros!

Tasters Review:
Today I am writing about Black Cherry Cream from Green Tea HP/Green Tea Pros which is a product that includes Green Tea as its base. Here at SororiTEA Sisters we have reviewed a few of these already and have more on tap!
Before adding this powder-pocket to my bottled water I thought it smelled like Chocolate Covered Cherries…which is perfect timing because almost every year I get my mom Chocolate Covered Cherries for the holidays! She just LOVES them! This was a great reminder as well as a healthy alternative for a sweet tooth, too!
Afterward I added it to the water it was basically a sugary smelling Black Cherry type aroma.
The taste is a little tart but that makes sense considering it’s Black Cherry Flavored…it DOES taste like Black Cherry! As for the cream connection…I guess I can also make that out a little…it is sort of reminiscent of black cherry ice cream.
Where as this specific flavor isn’t my favorite from Green Tea Pros it’s still pretty good and I am VERY excited I got to try it!
