This is from Cameron B! Thanks yet again! This is a cherry and rose flavored green tea that should also have jasmine. I went real gentle on that first steep to not let the base take over for these flavors. On the first steep, I’m really only tasting cherry, and it’s not really a good tasting cherry… more like cough drops. I really don’t taste any rose or jasmine here. It’s cough drops all the way. But LUCKILY also no notes of hibiscus here either. So that’s a plus. The blend sure does look beautiful in the tin though. I’m usually a fan of whatever cherry teas Cameron decides to move along (there have been a few)…. but this one is only okay and not my favorite.
Steep #1 // 1 1/2 teaspoons for a full mug // 30 minutes after boiling // 1 minute steep
Steep #2 // 28 minutes after boiling // 2 min

I’m always a little bummed when flavors are advertised as cherry blossom and it’s really just cherry or rose, which are both totally different flavors.
Sadly, I think the blenders thought cherry fruit and rose petals would create a cherry blossom flavor. :/

I really hate fake cherry blossom flavored things ha ha, only the real deal for me.

I love that I’ve found my tribe of cherry blossom purists! LOL!
