I had set this sample from Martin aside for cooler weather—which has taken its own sweet time getting here. But a mild afternoon with enough breeze to start loosening the leaves seemed like a good occasion to break it out.

Good cherry flavored teas are rare, and we’ve found one here. The black tea base is light, the cherry isn’t medicinal, and the cloves give it the personality of a nice, freshly baked cherry crisp.

Thanks, Martin! I finished the cup while watching a couple of bumblebees the size of my big toe harvest the last of the pollen from our zinnias and sedum plants.
