Japanese Cherry from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

Japanese Cherry

Green Tea by The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

The flavor and mystery of Japan are captured in this classic blend of Chinese green tea and cherry blossoms. Cherry flavor is highly praised in Japan, and this tea uses cherry flavoring to enhance and intensify the sweet notes of pure Green tea from China. Sweet and light bodied, this exotic tea makes a blissful break from the bustle of the business day.

Eh. Sure the cherry blossom aroma is cool, but this tea just didn’t give the enjoyable taste I was hoping for. Adding sugar helped, but naturally this tea is just “meh”. If you like cherry I’d say go for it, but if you’re just looking for a good flavored green look elsewhere.

I keep trying to like this tea and I just can’t do it. It’s not bad, but it only tastes like cherry (which I guess should be expected). It’s not too sweet, but I can’t taste the green tea at all. :( Since I’m not much of a fan of cherry (only have this because it was a gift), it’s disappointing to not have any of that green tea taste to counteract it.

This was one of the very first loose leaf tea’s I ever bought. The first steep is always a tricky one because if you over steep it, it will taste very bitter. I recommend going with no more than 3mins. Excellent cherry flavor.
