Tea of the Week for December 9, 2019!
This blend was inspired by the cocktail of the same name. Admittedly, I’ve not tried the cocktail – I’m not much of a drinker . . . of alcohol, anyway. A good Matcha is about the strongest drink I’ll imbibe. But I definitely enjoy a cocktail inspired tea blend now and then!
The recipe for the cranberry blush cocktail that I found was made with champagne, cranberry juice and lemonade – so I used that as the basis for my recipe for this tea blend. i started with a beautiful Long Mei Yunnan green tea and added a bunch of freeze-dried cranberries & some dried lemon wedges. Then I added champagne essence to add a bit of “bubbly” to the blend.
The result is rather lovely. It tastes very festive – Champagne notes & pleasant cranberry flavor brightened with a hint of lemon. Really nice! Like a holiday celebration in your teacup! It’s VEGAN, gluten-free, allergen-free & alcohol-free!
ingredients: green tea, organic cranberries, organic lemons & organic natural flavors

C is for… Cranberry Blush!
I oversteeped this tea, so it’s too strong, but it’s actually pretty good in spite of that. Base tea is fresh and tastes like a good chinese green, complete with a beaniness that I love, and the cranberry is lightly present overtop. Yum!
Decided to cold brew this, as I really like flavored greens as cold brew and I really liked how the Crisp Cranberry Soda turned out cold brew.
I’m actually getting a cranberry flavor, which is a flavor that very often eludes me in tea. It is soft rather than the crisp/tart flavor associated with cranberry, but it doesn’t taste candy-like, either… I’m getting more of a subtle florality mixed with the soft fruitiness, and… yes, it does have that effervescent/alcohol note to it, and a very subtle grassiness in the background. Definitely a citrusy/white wine sort of aftertaste.
I really like this! It’s a unique flavor and very refreshing!

AJRimmer Advent Day 11
It’s been a long time since I’ve tried a new 52teas! In my eagerness to taste it I’m sipping it way too hot. Had to walk away to let it cool. I was having a hard time picking out the flavors, so I added a little sugar which made the fruits stand out more. It doesn’t have the tartness of a cranberry, but it does have a nice berry flavor that the term blush seems fitting for. The tea base is very subtle and buttery, but I can just pick it out. I seem to have finished my cup already! I’d like to try this cold steeped next time!
The base tea is a bit too floral for my tastes generally, but I kind of do like this tea as a whole. I didn’t love it room temperature, but after a few hours in the fridge, the flavors start to pop. The champagne flavoring comes through pretty clearly. It somehow almost gives you that bubbly sensation. I also get a bit of lemon, but not too much cranberry. Next time I make this, I think I’ll let the cranberries stay in the mug to try to bring out more of their flavors. I’m glad I gave this tea some attention instead of just dismissing it as not to my tastes – I think I like it! I cold brewed the second steep, which was quite pleasant as well, though still no cranberry.
This tastes much different than I remember. Much more floral, and lacks the light cranberry tartness. Still an enjoyable cup.
