Just bought this today…thanks to LiberTEAs little Metro-Tea push earlier! LOL

I was looking for something different…that I haven’t tried and could buy quick – locally…this was staring at me. Not sure why but it did.

Upon first sniff you could certainly smell the cranberry! Once I started to steep it lost a lot of it’s scent. It’s medium to dark brown in color.

The Cranberry taste brings more of a bittery-type flavoring to the black VS a more tarty-fruit taste…which is ok by me. I would personally classify this as a medium strength bagged tea. And it’s fairly good! I bought it locally and had a nice chat with the store owner…she’s considering opening up a tea shop within her ‘already-there store’. I hope she does.

It’s been a while for me and this one so I started my day with it. Not overly strong but nicely flavored bagged tea with a little bit of cranberry flavoring.

Thank you TeaEqualsBliss for sending me some of this tea.

It’s a nicely flavored cranberry tea. Nice cranberry taste, sweet and tart. There is a bitter background note to the tea, perhaps I infused it too long for a bagged tea? I don’t know. I will have to play around with brew time and see if I have a better experience next time. Still a nice tasting tea though.

Enjoying a cup of this today. I brewed my first cup a bit too strong (using 2 bags instead of just one), and it didn’t work out too well, then I brewed it again with just one bag and it was much more palatable. The cranberry is tart with a nice level of sweetness, and the tart tingles on the tongue in the aftertaste. It’s a really good representation of the cranberry flavor.
