I have found a new favorite! Originally I was attracted to the label’s blossoms in light pinks and green—and the fact spring is new, calling forth hope in a new season. So I ordered a tin, and was delighted with the deep cherry redolence when I opened the tin.
I usually find Republic of Tea’s teabags only fit for the tiny 6 oz cups they advise. In other words, I find such cups entirely too small, so those teabags don’t hold enough for a real cup, to me!
So I made a pot (57 oz), and used 6 bags, with a longer steep. What a treat! Spring in a teacup, truly. The cherry flavor was not as deep in the cup as it was smelling the open tin. That was fine—it was still a nice, clean cherry flavor, not at all artificial tasting. It was fresh, light, and the green tea was perfect. I’ve already enjoyed two pots’ worth. It’s the perfect tea to welcome the new season, toasting my beloved sister Kerry on this her birthday with Spring Cherry!
