Lori drank Cherry Blossom by Harney & Sons

This sample came courtesy of SoccerMom…..Honestly, I was leery of this tea. Would the cherry flavor be overpowering, sickeningly sweet – reminiscent of cherry-flavored liquid Tylenol of my youth? …. After sipping, I was relieved. The cherry flavor was very subtle and did not mask the delicate green tea flavor.

Personally, this tea is too mild and subtle for me. But for others, this would be a calm and relaxing treat…Darn, if only I wanted to buy this one, I could get the precious tin!

Ditto! I have the same cherry fears!

Nope unfortunately I really couldn’t even taste the cherry.

Bio

Just a few months ago the only tea I drank was hot lipton tea at work, an occasional mint tea, and sweet iced tea.. Then my daughter got me some loose leaf teas for Christmas and then, my tea addiction began…..

And what better way to get lots of dessert flavors w/o the calories?

I prefer my tea with a tinge of sugar. Is that cheating? But to me , the combination of sugar and tea is like salt and cooking- both bring out the natural flavors.

My tea drinking has evolved into a set routine: a breakfast blend in the AM, some flavored blacks during the day, late afternoon or evening flavored green/white, herbal (usually spicy, chai inspired) at night.

Not into unflavored greens/whites yet. Just started appreciating unflavored blacks and am thinking that smoky teas may become my favorite…
When I am not drinking tea, I am working as an engineer, reading, watching some of the better TV shows (like Damages and Breaking Bad), practicing my yoga, cooking, gardening, and spoiling my two miniature poodles (Coco and Timmy)…
