Raritea drank Cherry Garcia by 52teas

1 tablespoon for 375 ml of water

The black tea astringency takes over the blend. Only slightly bitter. Hints of cherry-chocolate flavour near the end of the sip. Maple sweetness in lingering aftertaste.

~~I was told that this was an older tea and it may have lost some flavour.~~

Cherries Jubilee was the older blend. This one was blended perhaps 8 months ago? IMO it wasn’t great though.

Oh wow, I was really surprised by the lack of flavour in this one so I thought that it was the old one. Thanks for clarifying!

I can completely understand your confusion, because yeah, I never really got a great deal of flavour with this one even when it was brand new. In fact, if you took a sample of the Cherries Jubilee BMD you may actually prefer it to this, in spite of the age!
