Black Cherry

I’m really torn with this tea… I picked up 30g of this to try because the dry leaf just blew me away! It’s so nostalgic and delicious smelling… I could just wear the bag of it around my neck all day huffing it.

Dry Leaf: CHERRY! Cherry punch/soda, sour cherry, cherry tobacco
Liquor: a bit deeper smelling… Still unabashedly cherry-full
Tasting notes: ICED- black cherry syrup, blackberry leaf, sour cherry

So as I said, I’m torn with this tea. Dry leaf & liquor wise, the smell is fabulous. It’s important to note that I made teapop out of this, so my review isn’t going to be 100% legit, I realize. However, I made double strength and used plain sparkling water, iced. The flavor was good… I wanted to love it. I didn’t hate it, but it didn’t blow me away. There was something in the background that threw me off… Possibly the blackberry leaf? It made everything go askew. It started off tasting just as I hoped then, blech, something off. I also wished there was more sour cherry flavor once steeped & iced.

All in all, I will eventually power through all 30g, as it’s summertime, but I’ll be honest… I may pawn some of it off on ice tea for my daughter. Probably wouldn’t purchase again… Unless to use for fragrance sachets! lol!

This tea is a totally different animal when cold steeped! Much more enjoyable and refreshing. It still has that weird tang that leaves me suspecting stevia like a couple other David’s Teas that have sugar added. The tea is sweet, but has a slight sour tang or pucker to it. I’m still not head over heels about it, but if cold steeped, I can easily finish the rest of this sample.

can really smell the cherry flavour!

Argh, did I steep this wrong? Because it tastes like a particularly revolting brand of cough syrup. Bleh!!! I’m going to have to pour some out and then dilute it because it literally isn’t drinkable as is.

I made this up as an iced tea using the same method as usual (30 g of tea) in 1 liter boiling water steeped 5:30 min and then I filled the pitcher up the rest of the way with ice to make 2 liters. What about you – those of you who enjoyed it?

Tried this tea in-store, iced, and purchased 50g of it right away. I’m a little apprehensive of cherry-flavored things, but the smell and taste of this tea blew me away. The cherry flavor is not too artificial, which is something I like (as compared to something like Cherry Blossom).

I am VERY surprised by this one. Years ago, Davidstea did a Cherry Cola tea that I very much didn’t like. Today, I’m trying this one hoping it tastes nothing like that one. And I’m very glad to say that it doesn’t taste like it at all.

This cherry tea is so good! I am getting a very nice cherry flavour that isn’t tart but rather nice and sweet. I know there’s a bit of licorice root in this one which always makes me nervous, but this time it’s hard to even really notice any real licorice flavour. It’s just lovely cherry goodness.

I can’t wait to try this one as a teapop!!

Sipdown.

Made the rest of my mini-container as an iced tea, and I’m still not loving this. The hubby enjoys it, but when I drink it, I get this very unpleasant chemical aftertaste. What a pity – it smells lovely and luscious and fruity.

this one is weird. I both and like it at the same time. It smells amazing. it tastes..delicious and then artificial and weird…and then ok and then awful… lol I think final verdict is that i dislike this. I prefer their other cherry related things over this black cherry concoction.

Haven’t written in two weeks, eh? Guess I’ve been busy. Busy being useless. Or something.

I’ve almost never had luck with cherry teas. They tend to taste like cough syrup. Come on, why can’t they taste like actual cherries? Dried cherries taste fabulous anyway, so just stick some of those in there and all should be fine, right?

The dry leaf smells pretty good, like cherries, for sure. But once again, I’m hit in the face with Robitussin. Pass.

FWIW, DAVIDs Hard Candy isn’t too bad for a cherry tea, seeing that it has that cherry Starburst vibe going on. Does this mean that teas can only taste like artificial cherry candy but never like real cherry?

Delightful iced tea! Pretty much exactly as advertised. Love that I can get the black cherry flavour without all the crap that’s in pop. This would probably be excellent as a tea pop.
