I ordered this multiple times because it's such a great dessert tea with some sugar, reminds me of a creamy cherry tart, tangy but not bitter
The fruity, sweet notes of cherry play with the soft, nutty flavor of marzipan.

An amazing blend of cherry and almond flavors! Genuinely my current favorite 'dessert' tea. Plus, the aroma as it steeps is so divine!
Delightful and delicious. Light but somehow still packed with flavor. I will be repurchasing when I order next.
This is unexpectedly one of my favorites. I don’t even like marzipan! It’s lovely
I love this tea it is my go to during the summer. I find it makes a great iced tea and very refreshing
Really enjoyed this one, nice marzipan flavor. I like to add a little evaporated milk.
Naturally sweet, no need to add sugar (but I did, as it's my custom). I seem to associate the cherry flavor with bubblegum a lot, as I think this has a slight bubblegum flavor to it. I will have to try it again and adjust my review because I didn't have boiling water and that has affected how strong the flavor is too
I love how smooth oolongs are and this one definitely has a distinct cherry layered over the smooth oolongs base.
Absolutely one of my favorite teas bought the largest bag available it’s like having my birthday everyday!!!
A little too floral and fake cherry-tasting for my taste. Every time I open the packet it reminds me of cherry medicine.
Creamy, cherry and benefitial, I enjoyed this by putting it in a tea bag I have made of cloth and nearly boiling it for 8 minutes, y that time? I guess that's my stoves fault..
Uhhhh so delicious! Love the cherry and nut flavor.
I love this tea and have made it one of the staple in my cupboard. The cheery is subtle and not overly sweet, which I like.
Did not care for the flavor to me tasted a bit like cough syrup
I originally got this tea as a free portion on my first order, and I HAD to get a 3 oz in my next order, this is legit such a nice tea, I love it SO MUCH, so if you're a fan of sweet fruit try this one!
Currently if I could do half stars this one would be 3.5 for me. I gave it the fourth as I think I may have psyched myself up for it and made my expectations harder to achieve as I love cherry and almond amaretto type flavors. So what I like is the texture from the oolong base and the oolong flavor gives a solid foundation to add to and it was present throughout the cup. The cherry is definitely reminiscent of luden's cough drops, but I like those so I am ok with that. If it were my blend I would pull back the cherry percentage though as to me it masks too much of the almond flavor which is there. The almond does show itself a little more as the cup cools, but not enough for me. The rose adds a nice floral note to each sip. I didn't note any tartness from the rose hips or pick up the cinnamon though both would have probably boosted my opinion a little. Added nothing to cup this time. In summation I liked it, but wanted to love it. 212° 5 min
this is a fabulous blend. Rose can overwhelm me, and while the scent is strong, the flavor is right! Great cherry forward, a repeatable brew for sure!
I generally tend to enjoy cherry flavoring and this one was no different! The marzipan/almond flavoring was a little light for my taste, but still good. Could definitely see this being in fairly regular rotation.
Aug 25: Really nice. A little sugar, 4 min steep.
did not expect to love this, really did. such a smart blend. almond keeps the cherry from being cough syrup-y but the tart cherry keeps the almond from being, well, marzipan, a taste I don't love.
CommuniTEA sample: 3 min @ 212 F. Second cup for 5 min @ 212 F, with 2 grams of crystal rock sugar. I recommend adagio's almond oolong. It's sweet, nutty, toasty, all of the things that this blend wants to be. The cherry flavor is barely noticeable, but the aroma is strong and a bit medicinal. It overpowers the almond flavoring, and the cinnamon is just kind of there in the background. I did smell the rose petals and rose hips in my first cup, and they threw the aroma off a little bit, I think, but I didn't really taste them. A little bit of a dry mouth feel as well, but nothing too aggressive.
Imagine the perfect cherry Danish with a light almond pastry cream! Absolutely perfect. The cherry flavor is very much there, but its not too sweet, and you can still taste the ooolong.
This flavor had a lot going on. It didn't work for me. The cherry flavor was mild but the other flavors didn't mix well with it for me.
I can’t get enough of this one. Works well with a few other cherry teas offered by adagio! So refreshing!
Delicious! Like dessert in a cup. Very satisfying!
I had this in an advent calendar a couple years ago, and it was better than - this time the cherry is not as strong.
This is a goodie! Always a stickler for anything cherry flavored!
From the first powerful wonderful smell as I opened the package, I knew this tea was right up my alley! It is my favorite so far of all the other brands I had purchased and I had purchased many, Adagio is my favorite and this flavor is my top favorite of all so far
Very cherry forward, nice and sweet for a lunch tea or treat it like dessert. I like it best with some honey and sweet cream.
Enjoyed this tea. It is very complex and the flavor changes as it cools. It is very cherry forward to start. As it cools, more of the marzipan flavors come through. Might try it iced next time to see how it does.
Fantastic. Nice cherry flavor. Very smooth and delicious with a little honey and milk. Nice anytime of the day.
This is good, but not as strong as I was hoping. I'll add a little more tea and steep a little longer next time. UPDATE: steeped a little longer and added a little more tea, it was better.
Smells exactly like cherry almond. Which is crazy to me that they got that flavor together. Interesting.
A very cherry forward tea that is relatively smooth and pairs much better with sugar instead of honey
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite treat teas. It tastes of cherry candy, nicely balanced with sweet almond. The rose is very subtle and not over powering. This is delicious with a bit of sweet cream added, even better with just a hint of chocolate too. It's like Valentines in a cup.
This smelled like a mix between cough syrup and red licorice when I whiffed the bag. I brewed it to the bag specifications and added a little sugar and creamer. I don't *hate* the taste but I am not sure if I like the marzipan aspect to this. I would love a just plain cherry oolong to try1
Good flavor balance. It had an extremely strong scent in the pouch, so I was afraid the flavor would be really strong as well, but it's actually a pretty good mix. Not too sweet or overwhelmingly almond flavored.
the cherry flavor is slightly artificial-tasting (think more maraschino cherries than actual cherries) but the almond notes pull through pleasantly.
This one had a great, mellow flavor. I don’t often go for Oolong, so I’m not sure what it’s supposed to taste like when compared to other blends, but I’d order this again.
It's...fine? I've tried it a few times, to mixed results. A longer brewing brings out the almond flavor, but the cherry is a little sour in an odd way. There's something here that's not quite right, and sometimes the taste even edges on a little tinny/metallic. A shame -- I like almonds, and I loved the blackberry sage oolong, but this one's a miss.
This may quite genuinely be one of my all time favourite oolongs. Very delicious cherry and marzipan/almond taste with the oolong flavour not getting lost. The rosehip comes through nicely as well
One of the best cherry flavored teas I've ever had! It's subtle and fruity, with a nice almond taste that I really like. I really enjoy brewing it extra strong and using it as a latte!
The oolong isn't a prominent flavor. You can taste cherry and a bit of marizpan. It's interesting and good.
I wish it had the almond notes I was looking for. I find the cherry too forward and almost medicinal.
This one went beyond my expectations. It is a nice, light tea, which I love over ice. It isn’t too strong, just perfect.
This is a nice tea to have alongside a sweet treat! I like keeping a sample size bag at home for special occasions
I expected good; I got great! The cherry flavor is prominent and fresh and the marzipan hits at the finish. Excellent tea no matter the weather.
I really enjoyed this tea. I found the balance of flavor in the cherry marzipan lovely!
Great cherry flavor! Very smooth oolong. I recommend, great winter warmer.
I love having the sweet scent of cherry wafting over my desk in the late morning, coloring the air with tranquility.
I really enjoyed this tea, which is different and flavorful. However, the hint of cinnamon seemed out of place in this blend.
