This tea has been one of my favorites for many years, since I first discovered it on the menu at Orchard Valley Coffee in downtown Campbell. When I spotted it, I knew I had to try it, given my love of all things cherry.
I was not disappointed. This is a mild green tea with a sweet cherry flavor that you can smell as soon as the bag drops in the water. I usually take my tea with a lot of sugar, but this tea is so naturally sweet that I drink it with only one spoonful or sometimes without adding any at all. At around $10 for 50 bags, it’s around 20 cents a cup (less if you re-use tea bags), which is a lot cheaper than drinking soda, and better for you too (although this will be true of tea in general, not just this variety). I can’t think of anything negative to say about this tea, except perhaps that after I finish a cup, I usually want another one!
Five stars out of five. This is my favorite kind of tea, and it’s my tea of choice between noon an 4 PM (I drink black tea before noon for the caffeine, and only drink caffeine-free tea after 4 so I can sleep at night).
Bonus Review: Republic of Tea Acerola Cherry Green Tea (Superfruit Tea)
Everything I said about the first tea applies to this tea as well, except for the bit about how I discovered it. In fact, I’m not convinced that there’s actually a difference between the two…
