Cranberry is one of my least favorite berry flavorings (always seems to leave a weird, dry feeling in my mouth). Cinnamon can do the same thing, so I was a bit apprehensive of this blend turning my mouth into the Sahara desert. The loose leaf definitely smells like a spiced cranberry tea.

On first taste, there is something pleasantly sweet in this. I can’t figure out if it’s the cranberry, or a more sweet rather than spicy cinnamon. Whatever it is makes the cinnamon and cranberry nicely balanced. No Sahara desert mouth! Yay! Out of the blends in Della Terra’s 12 Days of Christmas sampler box, this is my favorite spiced blend so far.

The tea base is noticeable but mellow.

Alas, as I sip the last dregs of this, I’m tempted to brew another cup and turn it into whiskey tea. Family Christmas party tonight, and the Khaleesi is feeling unmotivated.

Ratings
75-100: Would restock
50-75: Would revisit
25-50: Alright but meh
01-25: Nope

My ratings have no real system for the moment, so only take them as a rough estimate. The higher the number, the more likely I am to restock, However, some teas I may find very nicely blended, but enough not to my taste to restock.

Favorite teas:
Candy Cane Lane Celestial Seasonings
