Mamri Fresh Aromatic Assam
Okay, I was the one who added this tea and I don't know where the "caffeine" and "price" fields were on the form. This DOES have caffeine, and I would give it maybe two dollar signs.
I found this at an Indian grocery store. I was very pleased to know they had Assam, even though I kind of expected it.
I must warn you, though, this is a CTC Assam. Don't leave the leaves in your cup unattended, because it gets STRONG after just a couple minutes.
Other than that, it has a classic Assam aroma, and I'm very satisfied with it. I've found that steeping it at 190 (about 88 C) makes it more forgiving.

Raspberry Zinger
I don't find the raspberry flavor very "accurate". The aroma is kind of a vague "red berry", although you can smell the tart hibiscus. When you actually take a sip, you get some apple flavor, which is probably from the rosehips.
The tartness is not too much, although it has kind of a drying quality.
I'm not much of an herbal drinker, but I like to keep this tea on hand in case my boyfriend comes over and we're out of his real favorite, Earl Grey.
