This blend of mellow Sencha and spicy, green mate is a real surprise. It captivates not only with its striking look, but also develops a completely new and aromatic taste. The tempting aroma of Black Forest Cherry cakes, refined with a little sweetness and attractively decorated, make this blend a much sought-sfter specialty. An exceptional creation which proves that tea always has something new to offer.

Another wonderful tea from Joy’s.
The buttery nutty sencha gives a lovely backdrop to the flavors of almond and cherry allowing for a creamy milky mouthfeel!
A little more pricey than ESP’s of the same name but I have not tried that one yet.
What I love about this is you can in fact still taste the base of this blend quite well.
My daughter and husband also enjoyed this one very much and it was nice to have a cup of tea with them.
Hubby said it was “tasty and no over powering and for me just right”
Its sweet but not cloying and the cherry flavor does not have that funny after taste commonly found with cherry flavored teas.
I am in love with Joy’s teas – oh and she has a MEAN oregano as well! I have been sprinkling it on top of everything I have ate today! VERY aromatic and flavorful. Well okay thats not tea related but wanted to give it a mention :)
Made this for the second time and this amazing tea lasted strong through THREE steepings! Not all teas can even make it through a second steeping. (OK, and yes some nasty teas barely survive one steeping…)
I am in love with Joy’s Teaspoon. I will be back again and again and again…
Agreed on so many counts…what size mug were you using to get three steeps? I’ve been wondering lately if I get less steeps because I use a pretty large mug most of the time. Though when it comes to Joy’s Teaspoon, I always get at least 2 steeps, and sometimes 4! (2 cups 2 times)
That’s funny – I always think I get less steepings because I want a strong, bold tea. :) I use a Fiestaware mug most of the time. I moved recently and can’t find my Big Ol’ Mug I used to use. Boo.
Upping my rating.
Why is Joy so awesome. Out of all the tea I’ve tasted in the past half a year since I started the addiction, I know I’m sticking with this company.
(They make the best spiced teas!!! yummm)
Also in my order with this tea was a huge chunk of spicy chai, sun kissed jasmine, and a bit of spicy pear. And now they carry ayuverdic blends! aahhhh!!!
Wow…now this one is good. It does have a black forest type feel to it and the almond flavor is just amazing. Thank you “Joy’s Teaspoon” for sending me this sample. I will have to get more when I run out. Love…love…love it. :-)
Yay! This is my real 300th review. I had to delete one that showed up as a duplicate. So happy!
The first of the samples I just got from Joy’s Teaspoon!
Even dry, this tea has a lot going on: lots of small green leaves with liberal sprinkles of red and blue. And the ALMONDS, oh dear, the almonds. It reminded me of sniffing pure almond extract! I love almonds, mind you, but it was a little much and I wonder what the smell would be like if the almond didn’t overpower everything else.
The taste is also mostly almond, but it doesn’t completely overwhelm the rest of the flavors. I notice a light flowery taste and some kind of berry (although given that there’s no mention of berries on the ingredient list, I assume that’s an illusion). There’s a pleasant light sweetness to it as well, and I feel no need to add anything else to make it sweeter.
My sample will make another cup or two, so I’m going to hold off on giving this a number rating until I’m out of it.
This arrived today as as sample from Joy’s Teaspoon. It’s finally a sunny, somewhat warm day here in Pennsylvania and this tea is suiting that mood perfectly. The aroma of the dry leaf smells strongly of sweet-tart cherry, but the brew is more mellow. Mellow green tea blends with smooth almond flavor and leaves a sweet/slightly sour cherry note on the tip of your tongue at the finish. I love it.
OK, I think I must be crazy. This very much reminded me of a not-as-good Whispering Pines Cocoa Amore. (Don’t misunderstand, it was still excellent, but Cocoa Amore is an all-time favorite.) I’m not going to put numbers or anything on this rating at this time, since I feel like my tastebuds must be confused…
dexter sent this one my way and i made sure to try it before reading any notes on it or figuring out what was in it. For me – this is a REALLY cherry green tea. I’m not getting much in the way of almonds but this is refreshing and very much a cherry cup of tea heh. On the whole not a bad cup of tea, especially since i am a fan of cherries! :) thanks dex!
It is officially enjoy your teaware day in my house, so I’m drinking this tea out of my new octo travel mug from Davids…
I’m not so sure about Black Forest Cherry Cake – but is a really nice cherry, almond, green tea. I really, really like it. It’s on the mild side, but the cherry and almond shine right through. Really happy to be drinking this right now, and my new mug is fun. Good experience all the way around.
(loved both the Joy’s teas I’ve tried – still have two that I haven’t – really happy I ordered from them)
I have this same exact tea but from a different vendor, I wonder if it all comes from the same distributor?
Yes, it is a Dethlefsen & Balk tea
