I was very fortunate recently to receive some samples from Revolution Tea (UK). I have reviewed already, the lovely Green Earl Grey which was fantastic.
It is about time that I reviewed another one of their tea's. This evening I choose Acai Green Tea.
Revolution Tea samples come in these cute little boxes. They are tiny and easily fit in the palm of your hand. Inside these wonderful little boxes come's a quite sizeable mesh pyramid containing loose tea.
I have to admit that I've not heard of acai berries. Here is a picture of the berries, which I have sourced from Google.
Apparently, acai berries are native to Central and South America. They are round, dark purple berries and are used in cooking, drinks and some say they are beneficial to weight loss. They are classed as a super food as they are high in anti-oxidants.
Follow those golden green tea rules, I boiled the kettle and let the water cool, brewing the tea for a couple of minutes.
The tea that Revolution sell is of high quality, and it's one of those rare tea's where you can re-use the teabag without anything detrimental happening to it's flavour. I made two cups from the Green Earl Grey which was fantastic!
Acai Green Tea is a fruity and flavoursome. The acai berries are very tasty indeed and are slightly similar in taste to blackberries.
The acai berries leave a very pleasant, fruity taste in your mouth.
The green tea is very delicate in this blend, and because I've brewed it correctly (which is vital) and because of the wonderful sweetness brought to the tea because of the acai berries, it's not bitter. It's pleasant, and it doesn't actually taste of green tea because of acai flavour.
Acai Green is a marvelous pairing of two flavours. The berries blend well with green tea. It's sweet and particularly moreish. I'm on my second cup, using the same bag, and the flavour is just as inviting the second time around!
You certainly do get the feeling you've drunken something very healthy. We all know the benefits of drinking green tea, and that, combined with a super food is just a great mixture.
This tea is perfect for those who not only love green tea, but love it with a fruity overtone. It's also another great tea to use if you'd like the health benefits of green tea but are worried about the taste, which I've discovered during the writing of this blog, is an acquired one!

I'd highly recommend giving this tea a whirl. It's gorgeous, fruity and just delicious!
