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.

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

Sadly, I think the blenders thought cherry fruit and rose petals would create a cherry blossom flavor. :/

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

Hi! I love tea and trying new ones – it adds a bit of variety to my day! Books, music, TV & movies are my thing… and tea, of course.

Most of the teas listed in my cupboard are actually sample sizes. I don’t really have 2,000 ounces of tea around here! Many of my teas have only one teaspoon left… maybe two. But I like keeping them in my cupboard list for reference to what I could be sipping. Usually, I write tasting notes once for each tea. I’m still drinking them, just not writing tasting notes each time!

I’m always in search of: Hattialli, Qu Hao black, Jin Jun Mei, teas using marshmallow root.

My dislikes: hibiscus, ginger (unless in chai), turmeric, bee pollen, charcoal type flavors

My ratings:
95-100 – Super awesome deliciousness favorites – cupboard essential
80-95 – Also pretty delicious
65-80 – Pretty good
50-65 – Okay
1-50 – Probably won’t want to sip it again

I’m planning on being a Steepsterer as long as there IS a Steepster, so if you’re not hearing from me, that means something happened to my health… if you know what I mean. (Or as evidenced by the great computer hiatus of 2019, something happened to my computer… I have a dumb phone so can’t access internet on that. As of 12/20/21 my wifi might start getting unreliable.)

Happy sipping!
