So, berry green tea. It's one of my favorites for summer. It's probably one of my favorites year-round. The sweetness of the berries and the lightness of green tea make a fantastic and refreshing combination for 90 degree days like this. Ok Lipton, let's see what you got.
Outsides: Paper on the outer layer, saran wrap on the inner and all the sachets are individually wrapped. The tea actually is a gold yellow color with no hint of berry color in it (the Touch one was like that and it actually turned out pretty delicious). However, the smell that comes from this....smells fake. My first thought was children's chewable vitamins but after re-examination, it smells like fake cherry. This is fading a bit while it cools down but my hopes are a little slashed right now.
Insides: Thankfully, you don't taste much of the fake cherry just some strawberry flavor. It also tastes a lot more bitter than it should. This just isn't very good. I don't mind if Lipton is trying to do something different with their berry tea, but the only flavors you do taste are fake cherry and fake strawberry (it says natural flavors but they don't taste natural). Those two flavors are the only ones that break though even if there are other berry flavors. The green tea is the same as the original, not the best but you could do better. Ultimately, I am just not a fan.
Overall: Don't buy this. You can get good berry tea at a reasonable price (Celestial Seasonings Green Tea with Blueberry is decent, not amazing but decent).
My Rating: Pass. Here's the site.
