A rich blend of black teas (Assam, Yunnan & a touch of Keemun) combined with sweet black cherries, a hint of almonds (a nut-free almond essence!) & a touch of cola essence. So tasty. This makes a fantastic iced tea!
Tea of the Week for August 5, 2024!
I’ve been wanting to do a cherry cola tea for a while. In the past, we’ve done cherry cola, cherry vanilla cola, and I even did a cherry lime cola.

March 8 Sipdown Challenge Prompt – International Women’s Day: drink tea from a woman- owned company
This is another post-surgery gift tea from my daughter!
I have tried this three ways and I am kicking myself that it is all gone because I thought of a fourth way that I wish I had made it!
We had it hot with breakfast and Ashman said the cola part was NAILED. I agree! It is uncanny how much it smells like a cola, which led to a conversation about what the smell of cola actually is. I have made herbal “cola” syrups in the past and will probably do so again this summer. I didn’t get a lot of cherry or almond, and as a breakfast tea the base could have been stronger.
Next up was cold steeped. Now it really, really smells like cola! So much so that I decided to add simple syrup. This amped up the cola vibe quite a bit. I still mostly just taste and smell cola, and I am not really getting the cherry almond part.
Now I am wishing I had thought to make a tea simple syrup with it to add to sparkling water. It would have been indistinguishable from an actual soda, but much better for us!
I cold=brewed this overnight and I was actually worried that I ended up cold-brewing a bit too long because rather than it just being overnight, it ended up being more than 24 hours. Yikes!
But, surprisingly, it’s not bitter. The black tea tastes smooth. Surprisingly smooth, given the circumstances. The cherry & almond are nice together. It’s a favorite flavor combo from my early tea drinking days, in fact, my first company [LiberTEAS] also had Cherry Almond flavor – a black tea – sans the “cola” part, and it was definitely one of my favorite offerings from LiberTEAS.
Anyway, I like this. It’s definitely better as a cold-brew than when I drank it hot during the taste testing phase – even when over-brewed.
