I have never had a hawthorn berry before. This is the first time I’ve even heard of them. This tea could taste like a totally different fruit and I wouldn’t know the difference, so I have to take them on their word about this flavor. It almost seemed cranberry like for a second, but it doesn’t have the puckering tartness and has a sweeter way about it. There is a very airy perfume like taste in the sip. It’s bright and enjoyable on green rooibos. It’s interesting, but I’m not super taken by the flavors. Little bit of rooibos dry mouth after each sip. Overall it’s a fun quick experience of a new flavor for me.

They sell dried hawthorn fruit roll-up type things at Asian groceries. My sister brought me some back from China, and I’ve been buying them for myself ever since. That’s the only format I’ve had hawthorn in, but it’s delicious!

I’ll have to keep an eye out! I frequent Asian groceries stores.
