Mmmmm soooo good. Moderate bodied black tea with flavours of cherry, tree sap, pine needles, and exotic fruits. Nothing overly floral, but it reminds me of a cherry blossom tree or the taste of cherry blossoms themself (the petals are slightly vegetal). The base actually tasted more like a green/black tea blend than black. Really unique, really tasty, and excellent hot and cold.

I bought this in teabag form, but I really appreciate that their sachets are mesh and not paper (does not tear when re-steeped) and it is a very large pyramid. Lots of room for the tea to move around and expand=better tea.

Flavors: Cherry, Cherry Blossom, Pine, Sap

Preparation
190 °F / 87 °C 3 min, 30 sec 3 g 19 OZ / 550 ML

Bio

I am a biochem major hoping for a career in research genetics and evolutionary biology. I love science fiction and spend too much of my time reading comic books. I’m a passionate keeper of spiders, cacti, and exotic plants. I eat a vegan, plant-based diet for moral and environmental reasons (I mention this only because it is relevant to which flavoured teas I drink).

I drink mostly flavoured and low caffeine teas/tisanes, but I will try anything twice. As far as pure teas go, I gravitate towards whites, yellows, and jade oolongs. I’m always open for trades and sample sales/exchanges. Message me any time :)

My cupboard is mostly up to date. For a more comprehensive list, see my stash spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-HjWKR3um-xEnj6HC9vMvKXOAyj_bpW5u_2ixEC20-k/edit?usp=sharing
