Trader Joe’s Organic Cranberry Green Tea, reviewed
Green tea can have such a mild flavor on its own that is easy to layer other flavors on top of it. This is probably why it is used as the base in Trader Joe’s Organic Cranberry Green Tea, as the added flavors – all natural ingredients – are. The tea is flavored with hibiscus flowers, cardamom, lemongrass, cinnamon, apple, star anise, rosehips, clove and cranberries. It takes on a pinkish hue when brewed and has a very floral scent, almost perfumy. The fruity flavors aren’t strong, but they do add a nice hint of sweetness to balance the floral notes.
One really nice feature of this tea, in addition to the fact that it is organic, is that the pyramidal tea bags are biodegradable. Unfortunately, the bags are also individually packaged in plastic wrappers and the box is very oversized for the number of bags included. Still, the tea is very good, but the over-packaging takes some of the glow away from the the eco-friendly elements of the product.

Thanks Edie
I’ve been drinking this tea for over a year, especially during the cold.
This tea tastes Beautiful and smells just as wonderful!! I must add that when I gave some of this tea to a lady here in Sonora Mexico she praised it and said it helped relieve her ailing Muscles! Well I love it and I others here that have tried it truly enjoy it! I will be buying more of this and next time a lot more of it to bring back to the ladies in the Church!
I recently learned that Trader Joe’s will no longer carry the organic cranberry green tea which I’ve been drinking for several years and just love. Can this tea be purchased on line or at other grocery stores, if so where?
Can this tea be ordered on line? My Trader Joe’sno longer carries it or can no longer get it.
I have written to Trader Joe’s asking them to consider bringing this tea back. They wrote, telling me sales were down. I suggest that whoever loved this tea write to Trader Joe’s and tell them so. I asked them if they could tell me where they bought the tea and they said they have an agreement not to tell. If anyone figures out where to buy this tea, please let us know.
This is the ONLY GREEN TEA that I can drink. All others make me queasy. It has the right balance of sweetness and tart flavors to compensate the ‘grassy’ flavor of green tea. I drink this tea every morning and am unbelievably disappointed that it is discontinued.
I’m trying to find a batch for sale on the internet. Or else, find a similar tea. But looking at the mix of ingredients, I don’t see anything that gets close….
