I should note, I am picky about cherry. I don’t like most cherry flavoring or cherry candy.
The smell from the bag told me immediately this one wasn’t going to work for me.

I kept sipping it, knowing I was not enjoying it at all, but not sure how to articulate it. It took a lot longer than I would have liked to pin it down. It tasted like cherry cough syrup crossed with a rose perfume.

While I love most things rose, even a strong rose, the combination was a hard pass.

Bio

Mom of 2, adjunct, and general homebody in California.

Great at buying tea, okay at drinking tea, awful at timely reviews. Drawn to fruit, floral, spice, smoke, and flavored teas in general; prefer those that stand well without milk or sweetener. Black is fine, green is better, and red rooibos is trash.

My ratings are for me, so I don’t accidentally buy something that sounds amazing but I’ve already tried and disliked. I struggle a bit with wanting to be “fair” to a tea that other people would probably like, but then my system won’t work!

90-100 A: loved it; would make this a permanent member of my stash
80-89 B: tasty; would pick it up again
70-79 C: good; could grab with a good deal or to try in a different style
60-69 D: okay; would keep in a set but probably would not repurchase on its own
1-59 F: various shades of bad; would not purchase; closer to 1 means may not even drink again if offered.
