This is a great tea! I give it a 100 rating. When I drink this tea I remember my good friends up over the border in Winnipeg and Brandon. The first time I ever had this tea was about 5 years ago. I was up in Winnipeg to visit and on Sunday afternoon, just before heading back to the states, we went to Polo Park. There is a DAVIDs tea in that mall (I am soooo envious, as we don’t have anything like a tea shop in Fargo.) I bought 10 grams of this and 25 grams of that, and ended up spending almost $50.00 on tea! A lot of my non tea drinking friends would be utterly unable to comprehend how someone could buy that much tea, but I know I’m among my peers here. Cranberry Pear was one of those teas, and it has remained a favorite ever since. I think I’ve said before that my extremely high rating is due more to the memories associated with this tea than the actual flavor, but the flavor is darned good too.

Profile
Bio
I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.
I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.
100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.

I hope you’ll get something in Fargo soon! Or at least will have an opportunity to visit Canada more often. Load up on good tea.
Happy-making post for us, Canadians. :)
