I fell madly in love with Twinnings Four Red Fruits tea while we were in Europe! I cant seem to find it in any of my stores and I can't even find it on the Twinnings website. The only place I can find it is on Amazon. And it is pricey. Have any of you seen this tea in your stores or know where I can order some. I'm starting to guess it's only available in Europe and that's why it's so pricey on Amazon.

Hi Krista,
The closest thing to this here in USA is the Mixed Berry. I did see it on eBay for four dollars less than Amazon.

that sounds good! I have been reading a lot about different teas this year and am going to devote part of my garden to growing tea plants. Should be fun and a learning experience.

Nancy, I have come across the Mixed Berry one and thought about trying it to see how close it is. I haven't ever purchased anything from eBay before, but it may be something to consider because it is SOOO good.

Connie that sounds fantastic! What teas are you planning on making?

Krista,

From what I saw online, it looks like "Mixed Berry" is the new name for Four Red Fruits. I checked the flavor profile and it is the same: Cherry, red currant, raspberry and strawberry.

You can get a box of 20 for $3.45 at Vitacost.com and if you are a new customer, you can get 20% off your first order! :)

Oh wowzers! I luv my teas and tea blends and I especially luv Tusains (herbal) teas for evening because they have no caffeine.
I have bought in Germany Johannesbarrin `red currant tea but can not find it here.. it is a tad tart, kind of like Edlebutte~rosehips..
I also make my own blend of lavender and chocolate mint tea.. 1/3 lavender buds (white or light lavender) to 2/3 chocolate mint leaves.
Do not use dark lavender buds, as they are higher in camphor, the lighter the buds (pink-white) the less camphor and milder, not so strong flowery tasting. And of course.. who doesn't like chocolate mint!

now I will have to search for this 4-berry tea,, sounds yummy!

Oh Grace it is divine. I actually had a cup of it last night. The flavor is so yummy and it makes me feel better with all these dang allergies I'm having. Let me know what you think when you try it. It's crazy how we fall in love with teas from the other countries but can't find them here.

Glad I'm not the only one! And I base which one I drink on how my day has gone! If I'm not even going to make it to my kids bedtime I go for one with caffeine lol or if I have been super busy I will go for camomile to have some calm at the end of the day. If it's been an average typical day then fruity is was I choose!

I have not tried the fruity teas. I absolutely love the mint flavored ones. I make ice tea with mint leaves also. Very refreshing. I am planting lavender this year to use in tea, also. It goes good with chamomile.

Lori, you will have to try a fruity tea sometime and let me know what you think! I do like mint tea as well. I tend to drink it more in the winter months though. But I don't recall having lavender tea. I hope your lavender grows well and you can enjoy many cups of tea!
