I am going to GUESS this is a Ceylon base but I have to confess I do not consider myself very versed in identifying black teas yet.
Its a nice cherry flavored tea.
I have not had too many cherry black teas yet although I have been trying to find a really great one.
I would say this is very good, maybe not GREAT but I have nothing to really compare it to. Thus far however I am quite pleased with this in my cabinet!
Its a nice blend that is not too sweet but just sweet enough.
No astringency, not bitter, nor tart.
I did add an agave stick because I got them in today from David’s in my first ever David’s order and had to give one a try. This seemed to be a good tea to try them out with.
I do like the added sweetener to this tea but it was nice on its own as well.
There may be a slight “artificial” flavor in this tea but I am not sure if that is the tea itself or if it is the agave that I am just not used to yet.
Regardless a nice tea.
EDIT:
I made a mistake and logged this under Compass Teas but this was from Caraway! I have since changed it in the database.

Too bad you have 4 oz of it, eh? That’s the one problem with ordering so much tea at once. I know it’s a good price, but if I don’t like a tea, I feel so bad having so much on hand (this was also before swaps were commonplace, though..)
Oh but I like it. I mean its not DA BOMB lol but its nice. Its the best cherry tea thus far as for black teas. I am going to try it out cold brewed too and since that takes twice the leaf I don’t feel I have too much.
However you are right – with swaps and such its not like we have to sit on something when we don’t like it.
