CELSIUS RASPBERRY ACAI GREEN TEA

Posted on April 10, 2024 | Last updated January 29, 2025

This is the CELSIUS RASPBERRY ACAI GREEN TEA, a non-carbonated series featuring green tea.

While nearly all CELSIUS products are carbonated and labeled as "CELSIUS SPARKLING," this one only has "Non-Carbonated" printed in small text under the flavor name, which could be confusing when displayed on store shelves among the others.

Interestingly, the carbonated series has black tops, and the non-carbonated series uses silver tops as a distinguishing feature. However, it’s questionable how many people will actually recognize this as a non-carbonated version. Let’s get into the review!

In 2001, while living in the United States, I encountered energy drinks through the dance scene and was deeply impressed. After returning to Japan, I found that energy drinks were considered novelty beverages, so I established a comprehensive website in 2013 to share the true appeal of energy drinks. As an energy drink enthusiast, I began drinking them seriously again, collecting over 7,000 varieties of energy drinks from various countries. I am also active as a critic and expert, receiving media interviews.

Taste of CELSIUS RASPBERRY ACAI GREEN TEA

When opened, there is a slight hint of raspberry and blackberry scent. The aroma is very faint, and since this is a non-carbonated drink, the fragrance doesn’t spread much. The color of the liquid is a calm reddish-brown berry hue that gives off a natural vibe. Let’s take a sip and see how it tastes.

CELSIUS RASPBERRY ACAI GREEN TEA's taste

Upon tasting, a clear, refreshing blend of blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries with both sweet and sour notes flows across the palate.

The overall flavor is quite gentle, without the juicy fruitiness or bold taste you'd expect. There’s no sharpness or strong flavors, just a smooth mouthfeel with a slight hint of green tea bitterness, giving the drink a natural, easygoing texture.

This isn't a taste made with real fruits, but rather a mild, subtle flavor created by keeping the artificial fragrances and flavors in check, making the overall taste very soft.

The lack of carbonation means it’s a refreshing drink you'd want to enjoy slowly in the morning, but it might not appeal to those who seek strong tastes, aromas, or intense fruity sensations in their energy drinks.

Personally, I enjoy this type of calm flavor, but it might not resonate with those who typically buy energy drinks.

CELSIUS’s non-carbonated series features “NON - CARBONATED” printed under the flavor name, but it may be difficult to identify this as a non-carbonated drink just by this small text on the label. It seems that many people might not notice it's non-carbonated until they try it.

In January 2014, a new non-carbonated CELSIUS flavor, the CELSIUS FIZZ FREE BLUE RAZZ LEMONADE, was released.

Shortly after, CELSIUS RASPBERRY ACAI GREEN TEA was renamed to “CELSIUS FIZZ FREE RASPBERRY ACAI GREEN TEA,” marking the birth of the non-carbonated “FIZZ FREE” series.

The new name is much clearer now. The green tea ingredient remains unchanged after the renaming. With the series name clearly established, it’s likely that the non-carbonated series will expand in the future.
