This tea has a wonderful spicy, sweet scent. It has quickly become one of my favorites to have in the evenings.
The fruity, sweet notes of cherry play with the soft, nutty flavor of marzipan.

This tea has a wonderful spicy, sweet scent. It has quickly become one of my favorites to have in the evenings.
The flavor is very medicinal. I have tried multiple cups and haven't been able to finish any of them. I usually like strong flavors, but it is the flavor itself that I do not like about this tea.
The way this tea tastes exactly like a cherry Bakewell tart blows my mind. The marzipan is creamy and smooth, and the Cherry is just overpowering enough to where it tastes like jam. I didn't get a good second step out of this tea, very much as single Steve t. A little bit of honey and nothing else... I think it would probably be really good with cream, that's my next experiment
I purchased hoping for something natural tasting with cherry flavor and I like oolong because they are more forgiving that black teas. Well, this definitely has that artificial cherry lozenge or cough syrup flavor. I also am not enjoying the almond flavor, it is somewhat perfume like to my taste buds. I tried cold brewing it and that helped. I added some chai tea to it and that rounded it out some and balanced out the overbearing artificial sweetener taste. Since I had to fiddle faddle with this to enjoy it and used spice to offset the flavor, I am deducting a couple of stars. I will give it three stars because it is a very smooth tea and it does deliver on the flavor, it just is not what I expected. This is coming from someone who typically enjoys oolong tea and teas on the sweet side. My partner loved it but he has more of a sweet tooth than me. So, the packet won't be wasted but I would suggest try before you a buy--I wish I had just gotten a small sample.
This is a new favorite. the smoothness of oolong contrasted with the sharpness of cherries! @adagioteas
This is a lovely blend. The cherry isn't overwhelming and there's a hint of almond flavor as well. It has an amazing taste.
This tea was good! I am really impressed because I was expecting the cherry flavor to be like cough medicine but it’s not. It’s really fresh and tasty!
I absolutely love this tea. Very subtle cherry with delicate almond on the back. I ordered as a sample to try and got a big bag after my first cup. Can be enjoyed without any sweetner, a bit of honey, or Stevia, even plays well with cream very flavorful and versatile
if my mother's jergens lotion scent could be a tea (and not have mouthfeel like a lotion, eww), this would be it. i loved it. kind of cake-like, somehow.
This tea is my favorite anytime of the day love the perfection of this delicious tea
Didnt taste like marzipan, not enough almond. But not a bad tea. Very cherry.
New to oolong, and not particularly sure what marzipan is, but I like this tea.
Not bad, the cherry flavor is a tad on the medicinal side to me, but it plays well with the other flavor notes in the tea.
This is a good cherry marzipan flavored tea. It could have been a great tea. Unfortunately, I did find that it had a strong floral smell and flavor that I didn't love. I'm assuming that is the rose and I found it a bit overpowering. It became stronger as it cooled.
I didn’t care for this, though it smelled like cherry almond cake. The cherry overwhelmed the cup, making the tea slightly sour.
Adagio just doesn't know how to make cherry . This had a strong cough syrup flavor that was a total turn off. I threw out the sample bag after one cup.
This is incredible! I can definitely taste the cherry and a hint of almond. No sweetener needed. A delightful tea to sip in the springtime… or in the dead of winter while dreaming about the springtime.
This has the best cherry flavor. I like to add 3 tsp of raw sugar to 1200ml of tea to enhance the flavors.
I've recently discovered a love of cherry teas (and all things cherry in general!), so I had to try this one. The scent is delightful—the almond flavor rounds out the cherry nicely. It has excellent flavor without any one note being overpowering.
Updating my review—after having several cups, I can confidently say this is one of my new favorite teas!
Amazing flavor and smells amazing, exactly what you would expecit
I like this unsweetened on a cool morning...too bad not cool now
The sample i got of Cherry Marzipan isn t great but it awful. The cherry taste seems off to me but perhaps it s just too strong for me. I think mixing it with another tea would improve it. @adagioteas
Wanted to love, but couldn't get over the strong smell. Love cherries and almonds, but this tea was not for me sadly.
Aroma is lovely. Definitely smell the Cherry and almonds flavor is very mild though.
Delicious oolong with a hint of sweetness and a delightful cherry flavor. This is a great anytime tea.
Wonderful flavor! I had to brew quite a bit longer as my family's water heater is set to 195 by default, but I still got a lovely fruity and floral taste. I did add some monk fruit sweetener after a few plain sips and ended up getting too much, but I'll give it this: it did taste very much like marzipan!
I've really enjoyed drinking this - at first J mostly tasted the almond, but with a second steeping I found I tasted more of the cherry in it. I used 2 tsp sugar as well.
It is a bit strong for an oolong but it tastes very good
Very strong cherry smell when opening package. After 1st steep it's a beautiful amber color. The cherry scent is more subtle with a rose scent. The cherry, almond and rose are most distinct, the rose scent and flavor reminds me of soap. As the tea cools the cherry flavor becomes more pronounced. The 2nd steep had subtler scents of the first, I also added sugar. This really emphasized the cherry flavor and brought out the cinnamon and relaxed the rose soap sensation I was tasting. It has a nice smooth finish. As I prefer it sweetened it makes a good after dinner tea.
The cherry flavor is really strong with the rose in the back!So if you look for a good cherry and black tea,this for you!
Love the bright flavor. It’s sweet without being perfume.
I'm not a huge fan of almond, but this was still a nice tea. It is heavy on almond flavor and would make a great tea for almond lovers.
I received this as a sample and was instantly hooked. Sweet, but not overly so, and it smells incredible. I ended up purchasing an entire pound.
I don't think I would have picked this on my own if I hadn't gotten it in the advent calendar, but I just love it! It's the right balance of sweet, fruity and black tea. Add in a dash of honey and it's just a heavenly sweet treat. I ended up ordering it independently in the middle of drinking it.
To be brutally honest, this is one of the worst flavored teas I have ever tried. The cherry taste is artificial and reminds me of cherry flavored throat spray for when you have a sore throat. There is also an overwhelming aroma and flavor that is both very floral and very artificial. I won’t even be finishing my sample pack.
The first time I tried this tea it came as a freebie with another purchase. What a great discovery! The cherry and marzipan flavors are very well balanced with the oolong. It tastes sweet with no sweetener.
The scent of this tea was very strong. After brewing it calmed down some but the cherry is still somewhat artificial feeling and out of balance.
TOO FLORAL: wow, I think I would need to be a gardener to enjoy this one. Not just hints of floral, but like drinking a bouquet. Too much for me.
Delicious! I love marzipan so when I saw this tea I knew I had to give it a try. The cherry is subtle and the overall flavor is almondy delicious. Best without milk, with care not to oversteep it
This tea was surprisingly disappointing. I found the cherry flavor to be artificial.
Another delightful oolong tea. The flavors in this tea go perfectly together.
Has a cough syrup-like aftertaste. Not bad, but not something I’m going to drink a lot of. If that kind of cherry is your thing with a nice strong almond, you’ll probably like it.
I loved the idea of this tea initially, but the scent is just overpowering. I really can’t get around it.
The almond flavoring is too strong and needs to be toned down. It gives the tea a chemical flavor that overpowers the other flavors. I would also make the cherry flavor more tart to separate it from the almond. This tea was bearable when I brewed it with 1/2- 3/4 of tsp per cup.
The cherry tea was a sample and tastes pretty good
The cherry almond flavor in this tea is subtle, not the flavor I was hoping for. @adagioteas
What an incredibly juicy aroma! This tea is meant for milk and cream.
Love the Cherry Marzipan Oolong, for me true to it's name. A clean burst of Cherry flavor with a wonderful hint of marzipan to follow. Very enjoyable tea, great change of pace.
One of my new go-to teas as an afternoon treat. Without any sweetener it's a bit too rose-forward for me, but with just a tiny spoon of honey, the cherry pops right out beautifully. The aroma is beautiful. I anticipate reordering this one many times!
Tasty tea for a change of scene. Lots of complex almond and cherry flavors.
