Hm. Smells like cranberries when opening the package. Not cherries, but that’s okay – I like cranberries better! There are indeed dried cranberries in here.

I don’t taste almonds, which is disappointing. Amaretto is one of my favorite liqueurs. I see a trend, though. Simply putting almond slices in a tea doesn’t flavor it enough for me to taste it. Might be different for others, though. I do taste cranberries and what seems like a simple tea base. I added sugar as suggested. It did enhance the berry flavor but still no almond.

It’s not a bad tea, but nothing I’ll get again.
