Amy oh drank Cherry Almond Gunpowder by 52teas

Oh, I guess I’m the first person to log this blend – huzzah! Thanks for the fast shipping Frank. :D

I was a little leery of this because cherry flavored things so often taste like cough medicine to me, but I do like gunpowder teas quite a lot.

I steeped this for around 3 minutes at 180F. The almond here goes great with the vegetal and slightly assertive nature of the gunpowder tea. The cherry is mild and reminds me more of sour cherries than sweet ones. No cough syrup here thankfully!

I’m not sure this blend is for everyone, you would have to like gunpowder tea quite a lot since it overpowers the other flavors just a little bit. Not my absolute favorite from 52 Teas, but still very creative and tasty. How about a banana almond gunpowder?? :)

Bio

My profile pic is of a pink dahlia at Golden Gate Park.

Hobbies include: tea, making art, animals, vegan things, buddhism, nature, creativity, books, writing, cooking, meditation, yoga.

I am a fan of many different teas but my favorites are blacks and oolongs, also like darjeeling and pu-erh. I’n always learning and expanding my horizons!

Dislikes include: bergamot, jasmine, highly tannic or bitter teas, overly judgmental and bitter people. :)

Live in San Francisco, I’m a SINK (single income, no kids) and love the urban life, but traveling out to the middle of nowhere is always fun too.

I tend to not drink things I know I will hate so a lot of my tea ratings are on the higher side. Here’s my rating system, sorta

95-100 I love this tea and would like to keep it around

94-90 An excellent tea which I may or may not repurchase

89-80 Pretty good, above average

79-70 Acceptable

69-60 Mundane – Will probably drink it if I have it

59-50 Ick

49 and below Nasty
