Cherry Garcia Black Tea complements of Kittenna!!! As others have commented, these leaves are interesting. There are big pieces of freeze-dried cherries, small nuggets of chocolate, an abundance of tiny minced leaves, and then some more normal whole looking leaves. Interesting is the right description. I wonder how this will turn out.

I’m not much of a tea purist when it comes to 52teas’ dessert blends. So I added skim milk and Truvia before tasting it. The brewed tea definitely smells like cherries and chocolate. Mmm! And it tastes wonderful too!! The most prominent flavor is dark chocolate.

I’ve never thought that ice cream translates into tea well. And honestly, this tea is no exception. I don’t taste ice cream. But I do taste a creamy, chocolaty, yummy, cherry tea. Thanks again Kittenna!! I’m surprised by how many teas I still have left in this swap box! You’re one generous gal! :)

Awww, I’m glad you’re enjoying your box! I’m pretty sure I still have a ton left to get through from you too :) Eventually I’ll get there! (And yes, I’m currently running through your tasting notes to see what reviews of teas I sent you I missed!)

Entering the sweet blissful world of tea aromas!

Having discovered this website at the end of July 2011, I’m so excited to share my tea adventures with all of you! I grew up with my grandmother serving Twining’s English Breakfast with cream and sugar.

But on a trip to Seattle in 2010, I stumbled into a Chinese teashop and tried my first oolong tea. I was forever changed! I embarked on a startling new love for green and white teas.

With a world of teas to discover, I was inspired to keep a tea journal to record my thoughts and new favorites. Let’s get brewing!

My ratings are completely subjective and 100% my opinion. All ratings are given in relation to each other (ie. teas are rated in the order of my enjoyment of them). Therefore, my ratings will constantly change as I try more teas.

I love swapping!!! If you see something in my cupboard you’d like to try, just send me a message. If you’d like to trade, anything on my shopping list will do or feel free to send something else entirely. I’m willing to try almost anything (although I’m not really a fan of red rooibos, honeybush, pu’er, Lapsang Souchong, & banana-flavored teas).
