I liked the sound of this tea, but the reality wasn't my favorite. My packet didn't have any cherry pieces, and the 'natural cherry flavor' alongside the rose petals resulting in a medicinal flavor that I personally found unpleasant.
Where did all the cherries go? I liked the flavor of this soft rose green with a hint of cherry. My CT packet told the story with plenty of green leaves, a generous sprinkling of rose petals and MIA cherry pieces. I was lucky because I like the taste of rose in teas. A tart bite of cherry flavor, thugh, would have been the perfect compliment.
I brewed 3 g/ 2 tsp of tea at 175F (green tea temp.) for 3 minutes. The light yellow green hued liquor tasted of a pleasant non grassy green tea flavored with rose. I sweetened with Adagio’s raw honey for green tea and the sweetening brightened the flavors and brought out a whisper of cherry taste. A slight cherry flavor also peaked out more as the tea cooled. I sweetened and chilled a mini cup too. I didn’t like the taste of this tea cold. The chilled rose flavor tasted cottony and muddled to me, not distinct and clear. Another 6 oz. resteep was possible and flavorful with a 2:30 minute steep.
The idea of a cherry green tea sounds so luscious and delicious. I’d like to try a sample bag of Cherry green just to taste the great cherry taste that I missed this time around.
I was disappointed in the flavor. When I opened my packet it was mostly green tea leaves and very little cherry. The taste was mostly green tea and very little cherry. I would not buy this one.
I did not like this. I brewed it for 3 mins at 180. I strongly dislike rose flavored tea and that was the majority of the flavor and scent I got from this tea (to the point that it drowned out anything else). I did not get much cherry flavor and could barely taste the green tea base.
My CommuniTEA sample didn't contain any cherry pieces (or if it did, they were especially small), so I definitely got the aroma of cherries when I opened the packet and even after it was brewed, but the flavor I got reminded me more of rosewater than cherries. Not bad, but not really what I was expecting based on the name of the tea. I think that's just on the CommuniTEA packet, though.
Subtle and well balanced this tes is really tasty.
Cherry is almost there... but this is still a nice tart tea. To bring out the flavors I strongly suggest adding some sort of sweetener. I steeped this for three minutes.
Opening this packet released a strong smell of cherries. This cherry scent is a lot more reminiscent of the medicinal flavor of acerola cherries as opposed to more commonly eaten cherries.
Since I have strong feelings about the appropriate length of time to steep green tea, I only steeped this tea for 1.5 minutes at 180F. Since I decrease the steep time, the rose and cherry notes were more of an aromatic component than a taste component. I was happy with this since I'm not a big fan of cherry flavor in tea.
I don't usually sweeten green tea, but I wanted to see if it would bring out the floral and cherry flavor more, so I added a small amount of sugar. I immediately regretted this decision as it made the tea too sweet for me.
Overall, I didn't hate this tea, but I wouldn't buy it or go out of my way to drink it. If you like cherries, you might like this tea, but keep in mind that it is not the same flavor you get when you eat fresh cherries.
Smells like cough syrup; thankfully, tastes better than it smells, but the flavor is sort of boring.
Terrible, like drinking soap! It even has a medicinal, old, soap-like scent. Followed brewing instructions - not for me!
My CommuniTEA packet contained lots of beautiful green tea leaves, a few tiny pieces of rose petals, and a couple of tiny pieces of cherry. Steeped at 176° For 3 minutes, the aroma was very rose forward. The tea tasted metallic and strongly of rose, no cherry flavor to be found. Adding a touch of honey brought out a very light taste of fruit but was still overpowered by rose and that odd metallic taste. Not a taste I would enjoy repeating.
The base green tea is already not that great. And cherry roses don't make it any better sadly.
This smelled like cherries but unfortunately didn't taste like it. I didn't get any cherries in my CommuniTEA packet either which probably didn't help matters much. As many have noted, it is basically a green rose tea and the rose was VERY overwhelming and gave the tea the soapy taste I despise when rose is overdone. If you love rose get on this one but for me, I'm going to have to take a pass. Happy Sipping!
It is almost cherry season in Michigan so very excited to try this tea. I really liked the cherry combined with the green tea. The cherry was a little stronger than then the green tea but I like fruity teas.
I made this as an iced tea and loved it! Very fruity and smells awesome.
This is really good. I love the cherry flavor with a sour tinge - tasted just like real cherries to me. The smell was amazing, and the taste didn't let me down.
Nice cherry aroma and light cherry flavor. The green tea tastes fresh and light and is balanced well with the cherry. Soft and smooth cup. Dry, astringent finish.
Not a tea for me. I didn't detect any cherry pieces in my packet...and the aroma was very strong rose. Brewed180F, 3 minutes. Still very strong rose smell...and the taste, for me, was like trying to drink rose scented soap. Nope. I tried to...but I couldn't drink this. I drank a few sips and then had to pour it down the sink and brew something else. Not my cup of tea at all...but someone who loves rose would really like this tea.
Am going to try a 2nd steep. This was the communitea packet for 6/3 and for me the cherry scent was almost non-existant. zero fruit flavor, very green tea
I liked this one cold brewed, but the green got just a tad bitter when I let it sit for too long.
This tea is super refreshing! Throw it over some ice for iced tea as well. Mmmmm!
I enjoy trying different teas, especially with fruit flavors. This tea was just ok. Didn’t like the cherry flavor. Tasted a little fake sorta like cherry cough med
BF is a big fan of cherry, he loves it and drinks it everyday!
I bought this when it was a special. I will defiinitely add it to my regular collection.
This one is super yummy! Love the cherry flavor with the green tea! It's not an everyday tea but it's good when I need something yummy in the afternoon to pick me up. It's a treat!
Great tasting tea would purchase again. I highly recommend this tea for your enjoyment.
Big cherry smell and flavor! It can be a little overwhelming though, so not an everyday tea. But love how bold and bright it is.
Can't say I'm a huge fan of this one. Rather than cherries or green tea, it tastes more like bubblegum that's been in a gumball machine for years.
I really like this one iced! It's very bright and refreshing
Out of the bag, this tea smells amazing! I was very excited to try this tea, even though I’m not that much of a cherry person. That being said, it has a very strong cherry flavor so, if you ARE a cherry person, I think that you will love this one. I added 2 scoops and a bit of rock sugar.
Tasted like a very floral green tea and not very much like cherries. I was not a huge fan of this one but it definitely wasn't the worst.
Smells like bubblegum and tastes like cherries. What more could you ask for?
I looked this tea, it was a little disappointing that it did not have a stronger cherry presence to the flavor.
This tea was just okay, it had a fantastic smell but something about the taste was just off-putting. It had an odd flavour, which was not quite cherry, to it. I prefer my teas chilled so maybe it would have been better hot, I'm not sure.
The subtle hint of cherry makes this one of my favorities.
My favorite green tea, by far! The cherry sends it over the top. I've even got co-workers wanting this one.
Cherry and rose hips make this tea have an interesting aroma. Once honey and milk are added, it has a definite cherry flavor.
I bought this because I like rose hips in my green tea. The cherries give it a little extra kick of tartness.
I sampled both this and the black cherry tea, and this is the supreme cherry flavored tea. The cherry flavor tastes slightly artificial, but I'll admit that I secretly love the artificial cherry flavor. It helps balance the slight bitterness of the green tea. I'm definitely keeping this one on hand.
This tea tastes exactly like it sounds, beautiful cherry and green tea flavors come through. Neither seemed to dominate. Great for spring! I tried it hot but it might make a nice iced tea.
When I don't feel like pairing cherry and jasmine - I turn to Cherry Green. Perfect with every sip!
Green tea with a cherry on top! Healthy across the board and equally delish! Lovely meld of cherries and green tea, great hot or cold. Your taste buds will be so happy. Enjoy!
A bit like drinking a hot cup of green tea with a wild cherry Ludens in your mouth. Not bad. The cherry flavor doesn't taste like medicine. An enjoyable tea.
Very refreshing. I love this tea hot and cold. It has a natural sweetness, so I never feel the need to add any honey
I wanted to love this tea, truly I did. I like all the flavors involved. Green tea is lovely, and cherry is a wonderful flavor in tea. I adore rose flavor in many types of tea. However, the three flavors in this tea did not work for me. I tasted more rose than cherry, also.
Really did t care for this tea at all. Gave it to my daughter and she disliked it, too. Too floral. Just doesn’t taste like tea!
This tea brews up with a very strong cherry flavor. It tastes a little too much like cough medicine for me.
Disclaimer: I'm not a big fan of green tea. I really wanted to like the Cherry tea but it was just okay. It smells like Kool-aid, which I'm also not a fan of. I found this tea to be bland and have just a hint of cherry. Next time I will try steeping longer but not in a hurry to try again. It may be better as an ice tea.
The first experience I had with this tea was opening the bag. Boy, that was pungent. It was unmistakably cherry to the point it made me cough. But the smell of the loose tea is not what makes a tea shine so I’m not taking that into my 4 star rating. I’m trying to find a replacement tea, but I will rate this on how it delivers as advertised.
Like other reviews have mentioned, there is little cherry taste compared to its smell. As the tea washes down, the cherry is left lingering on the back of your tongue. The main sip highlights the rose in this tea, and in this sense it doesn’t deliver. I would not recommend this tea to the cherry fanatic, but more to the person who enjoys a mixture of fruit and flower aromas. If that’s you, you absolutely want to buy this tea, because the levels of flavor are stunning. It’s just not exactly “Cherry green”
Love the aroma of the cherry as you steep it. And the mild cherry flavor is just as good.
