I messed this one up by using water that was too hot instead of the recommended 197° F. The resulting tea was all cherry all the way. It wasn’t bitter or astringent, but plain it did have a bit of a cherry medicine flavor. I added sugar and cream which brought this back to the cherry cream flavor I tasted the first time I drank this tea. It was still nice, but I definitely prefer steeping this with cooler water so that the fig notes can be tasted.
This is You :-D

84-75 = They’re good teas and I enjoy drinking them on occasion.
74-65 = These teas are ok, but not really my thing.
64-55 = meh.
