Abstract

The raspberry teas are the most common among the national fruit teas. The aim of the study was a consumer assessment of three different raspberry teas with different composition and content of raspberries. The survey was conducted in December 2016 among 70 randomly selected students of the Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences. In this study we can observe that a higher content of raspberries in tea were rated better in taste than the tea containing less raspberries. The addition of hibiscus and chokeberry affect a better assessment of the color and flavor of tea. The study had to make the consumers aware of the fact that the name declared on the packaging "Raspberry Tea" does not necessarily reflect its actual composition.
