Cherrifier

2024 Sipdown Challenge | April | A tea from a swap or a sample

Yikes, I haven’t written a tasting note in two months! I’ve been distracted by some life transitions — all planned, intended, and positive, but still, I’ve been working to rediscover my rhythm and balance. That leaves less time for internet stuff and more time for real-world stuff… which includes drinking tea, but not necessarily logging it!

Aaanyway, I finished this one a few days ago after grabbing it from a TTB last year. The first few cups had a lovely (if understated) cherry cola vibe laced with a bit of peach, but the final two cups were a bit lacking on the cherry flavor. Still yum.

Another standout cuppa from today.

You would imagine a tea with a name like “Cherrifier” would be really intense either in sweetness or, like, tartness. Strong, though. Something with a lot of impact. In reality, it’s a bit of a softer tasting tea with a more medium body. Very, very smooth with more emphasis on the tea base that a lot of other blends I drank today. It’s mineral and a little woody but also just a bit floral and that works well with a profile that’s surprisingly kind of cherry blossom-like. Sweet but delicate and pretty aromatic. There’s a bit of actual cherry fruit and a little bit of a while peach undertone – but it’s not really a “fruity” blend in the expected sense.
