Happy to receive a sample of this in my David’s order, as it’s one I’ve been curious about. Dry, this very chunky blend smells pleasantly of dried cherry (no surprise there), lemon, and I think that’s a whiff of rose? It steeps up a pretty pink. After mulling over this and the other David’s teas for days before finally placing my order, I guess I built up unrealistic expectations, because I was really expecting to taste the knockout-strong flavor of a cherry snowcone — whereas this tastes like a fairly ordinary cherry herbal, with a hint of those acerola vitamin C tablets I used to chew as a kid. Better than Celestial Seasonings cherry tea, but no revelation.
I guess I’m just going to have to suck it up, go downtown and line up with the small children at the snowcone stand to get my fix.
