Okay, so. I love cherries, a lot, and I’ve been wanting to try this tea forever. But there are no samples, and every time I place an order, I talk myself out of it because what if I hate it, right? Then I’m stuck with 19 sachets and I hate wasting tea, so I would have to drink it anyway if I couldn’t find someone who wanted it.
Until I made my last order, and I was running way low on work tea (i.e., tea in sachets or bags from anywhere) and went for it.
I thought for sure I had made a mistake when I opened the tin and got a face full of cherry cough syrup scent, so I decided to try one before I even bothered taking it to work.
I am so glad I did. It isn’t the very best tea I’ve had, but it’s still pretty darned good. The green tea is solid and very smooth, and there are definitely cherry notes. What I’m getting is CHERRY, mmm green tea, oh there’s the cherry again! It’s pretty nice, it doesn’t taste artificial (which was my worry when I smelled it). It’s not perfect, but for the price I’d definitely buy it again.
And it’s definitely tasty with the last of the fresh cherries I got over the weekend!
I don’t know if it will happen for you, but the first time I had this I had a jaded, untrained palate. I didn’t taste ANY cherry! Then I drank it, and drank it, and it grew on me and became a favorite. Two friends of mine tried it at my house and said it was their favorite green ever.
