Second or third time I’ve brewed this one since I got it at my birthday. I find it’s not all that impressive hot, but I steeped it hot and then poured it over ice and it’s definitely an improvement! It did need to be sweetened a bit but I’m not sure white sugar was the best choice, it might be better with agave.

It is cherry-flavoured, but it’s definitely an artificial taste. I’d way rather drink DAVIDsTEA “Hard Candy” than this. Iced was certainly an improvement over hot, though.

Flavors: Artificial, Cherry

Preparation
200 °F / 93 °C 5 min, 0 sec 2 tsp 25 OZ / 750 ML

I always find it interesting how different people like different teas! But I just want to clarify that the favouring is not artificial. All Steeped Tea flavourings are natural.

I wasn’t meaning to say the tea used artificial flavourings, but it tasted like fake cherry. I can’t even think of a specific item with a similar taste, can only think of cherry cough syrup or something…or like dollar store cherry lollipops. Most cherry candy doesn’t taste that fake (I LOVE Cherry Blasters, for example)

Bio

My journey into the world of tea has only just started.

I grew up on Twinnings Earl Grey and Tetley Orange Pekoe, but new friends and interests have led me into the world of herbal teas, tisanes, and my first loose-leaf.

My tea-goal right now is to find a way to make the perfect Sweet Thai iced tea in the comfort of my own home. We used to have a Thai placed that would make it to-go, but sadly they closed and then re-opened too far away to go just for a drink.

As for non-tea things, I make chainmaille jewellery and collect ball-jointed dolls (BJDs)
