Having read some really rave reviews for this, I was a little disappointed. Then again I’ve never been all that into cranberry, so maybe it’s my own fault again.
The cranberry is definitely strongest in this. Dried cranberry though, like drinking a craisin. The cranberry certainly adds a pleasant tartness. At the beginning, I also got a slight orange note as well. What turns me off though it a kind of pastry-like taste, almost like a scone but too dry. Kind of reminds me of airplane food. Pear in the aftertaste which adds sweetness.
I also found this brewed up pretty weak—not too surprising as it seemed as tough half the “leaf” was cranberry bits, even though I shook up the bag in an attempt to bring some tea to the top.
Overall a pretty good tea—just a little disappointing given the hype.
