Initial impressions- Smells almost candy-sweet, very fruity. Notes of licorice.
How I prepared it- 94 degree water steeped for five minutes.
First sips- Very strong fruity flavours with a very subtle licorice flavour- nice blend.
Did not hold up well to second brewing, but delicious for the holiday season. I’d recommend it, but not a whole 100g tin.
Addendum- poached salmon in Merry Cranberry- fantastic!
