Very strong sent in a very strong flavor with just the right amount of tartness
Dewy cherry is fruity and tangy. The aroma is sweet and berry-like, and the flavor is bold and slightly tart, with a juicy clean finish. This tea is perfect to drinked iced.
Not terrible, but tastes a little too much like cough syrup flavoring. It's improved with some lemon.
The best thing about this tea is that it doesn't taste fake. It does not taste like someone heated up red kool-aid or dissolved a cherry candy in hot water. It honestly tastes of cherries and is a wonderfully refreshing mid-day cup
Cherry juice is one of my favorites. This lets me have that cherry flavor without all the juice sugars.
(Made at 92C for 10 minutes). A very good tea! I liked it, and I might order more in the future.
Ever had Cherryheads candy? That's what I smell when I open my sample pouch. Beautiful big cherries are hiding among lots of rose hips, hibiscus, and apple pieces. First steep was the beautiful magenta color I love to see from my tart teas. Definitely sweet and tart, with light cherry flavor. I really like this hot and it's a very close runner up to my favorite Berry Creme Compote. Second steep 10 min @ 212 was a pale red-violet and much less flavor. If you like tart and don't automatically think yucky medicine about anything cherry flavor, this is great.
This tisane is delightfully fruity and tart with strong cherry and hibiscus notes. Did not require sweetening
As soon as I opened the pouch I was hit with a strong aroma of cherry. After steeping the tea, the flavor of cherry was less pronounced. But there was a smidge of hibiscus flavor that I absolutely loved! I bought several samples recently, and dewy cherry was my favorite. Enough to warrant buying a full-sized bag. :)
The color is a gorgeous ruby red and the flavor is bright and somewhat tart. I found it equally delicious both hot and iced.
I loved this tea. I used stevia to sweeten it and cold brewed it in the refrigerator. Very flavorful and refreshing.
My kids like this tea (iced). It is now part of our rotation of teas that I cold steep for them with just a little bit of simple syrup to bump up the sweetness for their tastes.
I love this tea. I’m a herbal/fruit tea drinker and this is one of my favorites. I always drink it iced with a little sweetener. It’s like a dessert.
We made this into an overnight iced tea and it was great. You got the cherry flavor right away. I’d highly recommend it.
Extremely medicinal-tasting cherry flavor that reminds me of a generic cherry lollipop. Made for an odd pairing with the hibiscus.
I cold-brewed this for 9 hours. Strong delicious cherry flavor and a hint of acidity that is perfectly balanced. It does need a touch of sugar for me to consider it perfect for iced tea.
Good hot, phenomenal on ice. Brew it hot, then chill it so you're not diluting the strong tart berry flavor. Needs no sweetener but I may have added a bit of gin to my glass and called it a lovely evening cocktail... Just saying ..
nice flavored tea, but not one of my favorite, has a mild flavor, I like a little more of a bold flavor
If you like a sweet cherry flavored tea, this is the one. I do recommend a little bit of honey and it was actually better cold.
Don't expect this tea to be sweet, it is nice and tart! That is what I like about it though, the cherry flavor is just divine.
loved the cherry flavor, I used it as iced tea and was really enjoyed it. it witll be one of my new favorites
A little weak for my taste, but it is still very pleasant and refreshing. I think it is more suitable for people that do not like strong fruity flavors.
Very dewy cherry is so so good I would definitely recommend
Bought for a tea party and this was everyone’s favorite! The first sip I had took me back to being a kid, and when I had a sore throat my mom would make us warm cherry jello. This was delicious. Some added milk and it made a beautiful pink color.
This tea is a nice mixture of sweet & tart. Very delicious!
Naturally sweet, this herbal tea has a nice balance of cherry and other delicious ingredients.
I fell in love with this tea from the moment I opened the bag and the lovely fragrance surrounded me. With a tiny bit if sweetener it is perfect hot and lovely iced. I am so grateful for discovering Adagio and this tea!
This tea is wonderful both hot and cold. Generally, I prefer cold brewing it overnight and it makes a delicious iced tea which needs no sweetner (although my daughter loves it with a touch of honey).
I've been buying this for 3 years now, and it's currently one of my roommates and I's favorite teas. Tart, bright, and still somehow perfect for this almost-winter we've been having. I was very happy to see it in the February Communitea. This will probably remain my favorite tea for a good long while.
M'eh. I get rose with slight cherry...want more cherry...OK rose tea.
When I opened my CommuniTEA packet, I smelled strong, medicinal aromas of cherry. I steeped the tea for 5 minutes. It tasted very tart and fruity. I think this would be great as an iced tea!
A more tart tea than I tend to enjoy. Before brewing, it smelled strongly of cherry cough syrup, but the taste after brewing is a hibiscus cherry. May be better cold brewed or with sugar.
Smelled like Ludens out of the package, but the flavor was a lovely balance of sweet and tart with no artificial taste.
UPDATED: I still love the colour and cherry flavour of this tea. I steeped for 8 minutes this time and the hibiscus was definitely more noticeable. The end product was more tart than the last time I had it, but I still didn't mind it even without sweetener. I think the shorter steep, or a lower temperature, is a better match for this one. Still haven't tried a cold steep, but I will one of these days.
I usually love Adagio's tisanes but not this one. The cherry flavor is too artificial tasting to me and it's somehow a bit floral but I don't actually mind that.
A real tart zinger! The rosehips are first in line for flavour, followed by the headlock of a more candy tasting cherry. It's not a real/authentic cherry flavour as the tartness overtakes it and it has that lightly artificial taste to it. With some light agave, it lightened up and was a little better. Might be worth coldbrewing to see if that helps settle the taste.
Cherries are my favorite fruit and just about any food and drink with cherries or cherry flavor is always well received. This tea is no exception. I will definitely try it cold brewed in future.
This tea has a strong cherry cough syrup aroma before steeping. The final cup has a slightly tart cherry flavor that is pleasant to drink.
Out of the package, the aroma is very sweet, almost like Cherry bubblegum. After steeping, and with a little bit of sugar, the flavor was reminiscent of cherry cough syrup without the aftertaste. Probably would be better with some milk, but I didn't have any available.
Steeped for 5 minutes at 200. It has a bit of a cough syrupy aftertaste when it's hot, but calms down a bit into something cherryish once it cools.
I brewed this hot (210 for about 6-7 mins) and it is delicious. Reminds me of Wild Cherry Life Savers in the best way—tart instead of the sweet almondy type of cherry flavor. This would be great iced, will def get it again in the summer if I can!
It definitely tastes like cherry candy, reminds me of a lollipop. I cold brewed it and added some sugar. A tasty treat cold, I don't see how anyone could drink this hot and enjoy it.
I'm fairly new to drinking tea, so I may not know all of the 'correct terminology' for describing teas. I found this tea to as sweet refreshing tea. There was a definite cherry flavor which was nice (I live in the home of the National Cherry Festival, so we know cherries up here). I didn't find it to be overly floral. Overall, I enjoyed it.
Nice Iced tea for a hot summer's day! ~Brewed 212 for 10 mins & Iced~
Update for 2/12/23 ~ Enjoyed this Cold Brewed! Definitely need this in my Tea Stash.
Smells like bubblegum and tastes like sweet cherries.
Very nice. Unexpectedly nice.
I love fruity teas, but when I opened this, it smelled strongly of cough syrup, which I can’t stand. I worried that it would taste the same way. However, once brewed, it smelled and tasted just like regular tart cherries. I imagine this would be really nice iced, too.
In the bag: Plenty of red fruit pieces like cherry slices and rose hips paint the blend a dark red. Several apple pieces bring a splash of yellow. A few black, shriveled strands which I suspect are cherry pieces that spent too much time in storage.
On the nose (pre-steep): Cherry is loud and proud. Super sweet but with a sour undertone as well. Reminds me of cherry-flavored vitamin chewables.
On the nose (post-steep): Cherry is still the prominent flavor. The sugar has retreated and is now in balance with a mild tartness. I get a clearer sniff of the cherry without the sugar crowding my nose - it's more of a dark cherry than a maraschino.
On the tongue (pre-sweetener): I get dark cherry first on the tip of my tongue followed by a sharp tartness on the sides and back. Hints of hibiscus and apple. Not much sugar.
On the tongue (post-sweetener): No change.
Opinion: A decent-tasting tea with a delicious scent. I want candy that tastes like this blend smells. On the tongue, however, sourness overwhelms what could have been a rich, layered cherry. Note that I don't enjoy sour flavors.
Preparation: First steep 7 min, second steep 14 min. Both @ 212 ℉. ½ teaspoon monk fruit sweetener.
I love the taste of cherry, however, not so much when it resembles kool aid. The first 3 sips I was in awe at the bold cherry flavor, it was so good. And then, she showed up - 'It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me' - HIBISCUS! Ugh. Ruined the whole cup. I don't add sweeteners, but if I did, it would have taken a ton of raw sugar to sweeten this sourpuss up! I have to pass on this one, but it's perfect for those who love extreme tartness.
Update 2/12/23: I drank this tea hot this time and would definitely advise a cold brew or icing it after a brew.
Old review: I steeped this hot with sugar added, cooled it in the refrigerator and then poured it over ice for a refreshing tart iced cherry tea. I steeped at 210 degrees for 8 minutes.
This was entirely too tart to drink bare but once I added some sweetner, it was great. You have to get that perfect balance with this one and it will come out yummy. I really wish I would have tried it iced too.
