whosbradpitt drank Cranapple Corpse by BrutaliTeas

294 tasting notes

I’m going to need more of this tea eventually, but I’ve really got to use more first.

The scent is wintry; cinnamon and orange stand out. The flavor is more fruit forward, a cherry/cranberry blend with some orange, and the cinnamon and hibiscus more at the back. I always expect hibiscus to mostly dominate a tea, but this one didn’t (or at least, it works well enough with the cranberry that I don’t notice it as much until the end).

I’ve got a decent set of Brutaliteas blends to work through, plus I managed to snag an advent this year; I’m going to try to hold off on ordering anything more from them until I’ve got a clear list of favorites!

Flavors: Cherry, Cinnamon, Cranberry, Hibiscus, Orange

Preparation

175 °F / 79 °C 5 min, 0 sec

Great at buying tea, okay at drinking tea, awful at timely reviews. Drawn to fruit, floral, spice, smoke, and flavored teas in general; prefer those that stand well without milk or sweetener. Black is fine, green is better, and red rooibos is trash.

My ratings are for me, so I don’t accidentally buy something that sounds amazing but I’ve already tried and disliked. I struggle a bit with wanting to be “fair” to a tea that other people would probably like, but then my system won’t work!

90-100 A: loved it; would make this a permanent member of my stash
80-89 B: tasty; would pick it up again
70-79 C: good; could grab with a good deal or to try in a different style
60-69 D: okay; would keep in a set but probably would not repurchase on its own
1-59 F: various shades of bad; would not purchase; closer to 1 means may not even drink again if offered.
