This one is especially inspired —had to try it! (I could say that about most of A Quarter To Tea’s blends though!) THIS IS THE BEST CHOCOLATE CHERRY TEA!! No contest – this puts all other cherry teas to shame. The cherry tastes identical to the cherry in chocolate covered cherries, even though actual cherries weren’t overflowing from my brew basket – I didn’t notice them. But the best cherry flavor (nothing fake or cough syrupy about this) fills all three steeps of this tea. I’d say cherry is the dominant flavor with wisps of milk chocolate and coffee. So decadent and divine. The tea bases are perfect as well. You’ve got a great blend of a dark wiry oolong mixed with hojicha green tea, fresh coffee beans, dried cherries, chocolate chips and chicory. Amazing. I’m a little sad I used all of my sample up for a full mug (2 1/2 teaspoons) but it’s perfect. I wish I could have this tea exactly like this every time. If you are looking for a cherry tea, you have to try this! This one is definitely Butikiesque. :D

This sounds delicious!
OMG – This sounds PERFECT for me….. I must not buy more tea (says me as I scurry off to Etsy to take a look)
Dexter – I remember you were the one looking for cherry teas, so yes, it sounds perfect for you. :D
Yep – but beyond that – I LOVE fruity oolong, I LOVE coffee-esque teas, Mmmm nutty hojicha – there is nothing in here that offends me. It all just sounds amazing. I’m having a bit of a “shipping to Canada” issue on the site, but I’ve sent them a message for clarification. If that works out I will order this one FOR SURE. Thanks for your review.
Oh good – maybe if it sells out soon I won’t be tempted to order it now. haha.
LOL – OK I’m not ordering THAT much. They sent a reply and fixed the issue incredibly quick. I’m off to finalize my choices….
I hope you like this one as much as I did!
How much of the oolong do you get to taste?
To me, I can’t really taste it since this type usually is lighter and the cherry, coffee, chocolate flavors take over.
Cool, thank you. This one is definitely tempting.
Butikiesque, huh? You’ve piqued my interest with this note…when I let myself buy tea again, I’m definitely going to have to check this company out!
This one should be coming in the sample pack I ordered. I was on the fence about it. So glad to see your raving review about it! Can’t wait.
