“I cold=brewed this overnight and I was actually worried that I ended up cold-brewing a bit too long because rather than it just being overnight, it ended up being more than 24 hours. Yikes! But,...” Read full tasting note
“Anne very kindly gave me a sample of this in a small order I recently placed. Definitely cola! Very mild cherry and almond.” Read full tasting note
A rich blend of black teas (Assam, Yunnan & a touch of Keemun) combined with sweet black cherries, a hint of almonds (a nut-free almond essence!) & a touch of cola essence. So tasty. This makes a fantastic iced tea!
Tea of the Week for August 5, 2024!
I’ve been wanting to do a cherry cola tea for a while. In the past, we’ve done cherry cola, cherry vanilla cola, and I even did a cherry lime cola.
So I knew that I needed to come up with something unique. Why not combine a classic tea flavor (like Cherry Almond) with the cola flavor? My taste buds cheered at the idea! The black tea is rich & flavorful, with a sweet, caramel-y note of cola, notes of cherry & a hint of almond – so tasty!
This blend starts with a blend of black teas (Assam, Yunnan & a touch of Keemun) combined with cherries & a nut-free almond essence. (This blend is allergen-friendly!) Then I added some cola essence & wow! This is an amazing tea! It’s great for cold-brewing (because cola is at its best when it’s ice cold!) but it still tastes pretty good when it’s served hot.
It’s also vegan, organic, gluten-free, allergen-friendly, completely NUT-FREE & all natural!
organic ingredients: black teas, cherries, calendula petals & natural flavors
to brew: shake the pouch well to ensure that ingredients are well-incorporated. Use 3g of tea to 12oz of nearly boiling water (205°F). Steep for 3 ½ minutes, strain & enjoy!
Or – to cold-brew, use the same ratio of ingredients (3g of tea to 12 oz of filtered cold water) in a jar or glass pitcher. Place the jar into the refrigerator & allow to steep for several hours (or overnight). Strain & enjoy!
serving suggestion: This tea is tasty served hot, but it’s even better iced. I like this cold-brewed – and I sweeten it a little (because cola is a sweet drink). Even with that little bit of sugar, it’s not nearly as sweet as your conventional cola. It’s a very refreshing take on soda!

I cold=brewed this overnight and I was actually worried that I ended up cold-brewing a bit too long because rather than it just being overnight, it ended up being more than 24 hours. Yikes!
But, surprisingly, it’s not bitter. The black tea tastes smooth. Surprisingly smooth, given the circumstances. The cherry & almond are nice together. It’s a favorite flavor combo from my early tea drinking days, in fact, my first company [LiberTEAS] also had Cherry Almond flavor – a black tea – sans the “cola” part, and it was definitely one of my favorite offerings from LiberTEAS.
Anyway, I like this. It’s definitely better as a cold-brew than when I drank it hot during the taste testing phase – even when over-brewed.
