First whiff caused me to expect one of those nasty cough-syrupy, fake-cherry experiences. What is it about cherry that is hard to replicate accurately?

Wasn’t quite as bad as all that. It still doesn’t taste like fresh cherry pie…more like a warm Sonic cherry slush.

Assuming that someday warm weather will come (I’m beginning to wonder, but I’ll hang on to the fantasy), I think I’ll set the rest of the sample back for chilling and blending. Hot, it didn’t do much for me.

Upton’s plain black teas are excellent…not having so much success with their flavored ones, especially anything fruity.

Upton excels at unflavored black tea and black tea blends. Not so much, based on my experience, with flavored teas. The cherry in this one is a Coke-syrupy cherry. Drinkable if you’re light on leaf and steep time. Still haven’t iced it down, but I think that’s when this one would be best.

What about you? Is there a flavored Upton tea that’s actually tasty?
