If you are getting this because of Acai hype whatever... there isnt enough of anything other than green tea in here to have any good impact on your health. The product however is pretty tasty and with a little spenda or sugar its outstanding. Also good as a sweat tea. I will say the lipton mixed berry is a bit better tasting IMHO.

I love Lipton's Mixed Berry and Orange Passionfruit Jasmine green teas, so I was very excited to see these new flavors. Not being able to decide which to try, I bought all three. Couldn't wait to brew up a cup of Red Goji and Raspberry. Noticed there wasn't a lot of fragrance when I opened the bag, but thought well maybe it'll release when brewed. Blech! What a disappointment! The predominant flavor is strongly the bitterness of green tea. Since then I have tried all three of these new "Superfruit" flavors and I am extremely disappointed in every one of them. The Purple Acai and Blueberry one has the most fragrant smelling teabag, but the results are just as disappointing. Despite all the hype and the pretty packaging, there is very little flavor to any of these except for the green tea flavor. Looking for someone to give this stuff to, because I really won't drink it. By the way, I drink a lot of tea and a lot of different kinds of black, green and herbal teas, and I do know Earl Grey from Irish Breakfast and rooibos from chamomile and yerba mate'.

This had no flavor or color added to it like the original commentor noted. I think it was a packaging error, It in my opinion was just plain green tea in a superfruit box. Lipton is sending me a check in the mail for a refund. Good customer service. The cranberry flavor was good though.

I prefer the mints such as spearmint and peppermint, but this is not bad at all. It was a great deal, and I enjoy a cup of it every morning. I am well supplied for a while.

I drink it and enjoy it, but the flavor is not very strong and it's not especially delicious. It's ok, basically. I don't know that I'd buy it again.

I have a feeling that this wasn't up to factory standards and was a reject batch. I used to buy these bags at the store, and they are normally full of flavor, but these bags have almost no flavor. I have to put two of these bags in my water to even get the green tea flavor to come out, let alone the acai berry flavor.

I have to use at least two tea bags to make a cup of tea strong enough for the flavor. The tea "smells" good, but it is too light.

I bought the Red Goji Raspberry, Purple Acai Blueberry and White Mangosteen Peach teas to try out when they first came to the market. Out of the three, I enjoy Purple Acai Blueberry the best. I don't expect who knows what out of a bagged tea, so I can say that for its league, it's very enjoyable. One can smell green tea with a fruity background, it has a good color and a pleasant taste, and no artificial put-off what-so-ever (which for me is very important). Many green teas can be harsh, but not this one, it has achieved a delicate balance between a green tea flavor and a bit of fruitiness without being too "fruity", i.e. sweet, preserving the pleasant taste of green teas. I'm pleasantly surprised. However, this tea surely is NOT for people who enjoy strong artificially flavored teas, particularly all the colorful berry mixes out there.

I make this and the other variety of Lipton superfruit teas into iced tea. I brew them about 4 minutes and they make a light and refreshing iced tea. I don't use it for more antioxidants than what is in the green tea, but for the light flavor. Now here comes the interesting bit. I bought some basil plants and they were sitting on the counter next to the pitcher where I was about to brew some of this tea...so I got inspired and put some basil leaves in when I brewed. The resulting tea was delicious. My favorite of the three is the raspberry/goji berry tea alone, and this one with the basil.

Lipton Green Tea bags with super fruit purple acai promised itself to be an antioxidant blockbuster but alas fails. Primarily because the antioxidant potency comes from the green tea alone. I was expecting a extract of Purple acai but it is only a flavor and not the real thing. Isn't that misleading advertising.....

The tea is fairly okay as far as the taste goes and can be used as a hot and cold beverage. I drink it at work and put a bag in to my water bottle from which I sip all day. I purchased this because of the hype and also because I got it at a super low price of a dollar a pack.

The taste is okay and one cannot really taste the bitterness of the greentea but the fragrance is predominantly of blueberries.
