I went to Teaopia yesterday to pick up some Irish Breakfast for Cooking Simplicitea, and when I smelled this tea, I had to get some – the smell is intoxicatingly good.
Once steeped, though, you can smell mostly the earthy black tea instead of the incredibly sweet cherry flavour, and the taste is only a subtle finish on an otherwise average black tea. It’s good, but the smell is so amazing that the taste – the important part – is a huge let-down. I’ll finish my bag, but I doubt I’ll be buying this again.
