“(52teas (Anne) 2022: 141) C is for… Cherry Lime Cola! I love (real) cherry-flavoured things, and lime, and cola… so this should be a winner – and yup. I couldn’t pick out the cherry; the blend is...” Read full tasting note

Tea of the Week for May 13, 2019!
Up to this point, most of our cola flavored teas have had a black tea base, so I wanted to do something with a green tea base … & I didn’t want to do just plain cola. I wanted to go a little unusual … which is kind of the usual route for us here at 52Teas, so would it be said, then, that our usual is the unusual? So it’s unusual when we do something other tea companies would consider usual?
OK, I’m way overthinking this.
I started with a base of Yun Wu & Chun Mee (both organic) & added some cola essence. Then I added some limes (as well as some lime leaves & lemongrass) & some freeze-dried cherries. The idea was not to go overly lime or cherry, but to have them strong enough so that they’re there so that with each sip, you can taste the cola, the lime & the cherry – as well as the green tea.
This is REALLY good – and it is perfect for summertime (in other words, it tastes FANTASTIC cold-brewed & served over ice!) And – as usual: it’s organic, VEGAN, gluten-free & allergen-free!
organic ingredients: green teas, lemon grass, lime leaves, dried lime wedges, freeze-dried cherries & natural flavors
