I noticed that Capital Teas recommends that the water be 195°F for this tea. Last time I made this the water was closer to boiling, so I lowered the water temp, and it made a difference. Now I taste fig. Yum, yum, yum. There is still the cherry note, but the fig has equal footing, and the two play very well together. I like.
There’s no way I’ll get through all four ounces of this the during the holiday season, but I’m ok with that since I think this will make an equally lovely spring/summer tea. I’m also curious to try it iced. Me thinks it’ll mighty tasty that way, too.

Going to try very hard to visit them next week when I am in the area for work.
Are you going to be in Philly or D.C? I love the Philly store. The sales people are very friendly.
I went to the DC store at Dupont Circle. Sales person was AWESOME!, but I don’t like having to buy 4 oz at one time.
Some day I will make some figgy pudding, and it will be fabulous.
@khamilton611 – 4 oz is a commitment! I wish they had smaller sizes, too.
@Lariel- Yum! Now I must go look at figgy pudding recipes. Why have I never done this before?!?
