This green tea is a walk on Cherry Tree Lane with Gunpowder and Oolong cannons from Admiral Boom, fragrant pink blossoms, and a sweet cherry taste.
Tasting Notes: cherry | spring blossoms | fresh cut grass
Boom! Goes the cannon on a nearby rooftop; its Admiral Boom and Mr. Binnacle keeping punctuality as usual. As you walk down Cherry Tree Lane, you can smell the sweet aromatic flowers and the well-kept lawn from the park nearby. Mind you, there’s a storm brewing at no.17!
Our green tea has a fresh cherry flavor that is perfect for an afternoon tea in the park. We also have added gunpowder green tea and Iron Goddess of Mercy oolong tea to represent Admiral Boom’s cannon fire, as well as to add some body to the blend. Contains a medium amount of caffeine, so this tea works nicely to accompany foods, and as an afternoon pick me up. One might say it’s practically perfect!
Ingredients: green tea, dried cherries, cherry flavor, gunpowder green tea, Iron Goddess of Mercy oolong, rose petals
I was lucky that Cameron B wanted to do a cleanup of teas, because I received an amazing treasure trove of teas yesterday. I couldn’t help asking for some, as there were some that I had wanted to try for years and also some old favorites that I didn’t have around anymore! Thanks so much, Cameron B! I appreciate it!
I can tell you right now… I LOVE THIS TEA. What the heck. I also feel like I have problems with cherry flavoring, just as Cameron B does, but sometimes cherry teas hit that right balance with other flavors, making them not taste QUITE like cough drops unlike if it was a cherry flavor standing on its own. The balance here with the mild rose is wonderful. And that green tea with oolong! It’s a perfect base. And since this is a Mary Poppins tea and Admiral Boom resides on Cherry Tree Lane firing his cannon from the roof, I get an extra kick that this tea uses GUNPOWDER green tea. I consider Mary Poppins one of my favorite Disney films, so I’m honored to try this tea and even more pleased that I love it. It might be one of the better cherry teas I have tried. It also reminds me of a Bird & Blend tea but I’m not sure which one at the moment. (But this is NOT an exact blend sourced from B&B.)
Steep #1 // 1 1/2 teaspoons for full mug // 30 minutes after boiling // 1 minute steep

I knew I would hate this as soon as I smelled the leaves ha ha… It smells like generic cherry lollipops, a flavor of which I am not a fan, and also roses. Why stop at one flavor I don’t enjoy when I can have two? ;)
But I figured I would steep up a small cup just to give it a chance. It’s fairly mellow, which helps a bit, but it still tastes like a cherry lollipop combined with powdery floral notes.
Definitely not for me, this will go into my rehoming box. A shame, because the label art is so pretty and I love Mary Poppins! Alas, someone else will hopefully get to enjoy the pretty packaging.
Flavors: Artificial, Baby Powder, Candy, Chalk, Cherry, Floral, Medicinal, Rose, Sweet
I love Mary Poppins too! Glad you liked it. :)
