It does taste like the label declares, both almond and oolong. And as others have noted, it is almond that tastes like almond, not like cherries. (I’m another one who often has that flavor mixup.) It also comes across as being very sweet, even when I haven’t sweetened it, so it’s more of a marzipan almond than a nutty almond to me. My difficulty with this one is that there’s nothing subtle about it at all, and although I like strong flavors, I’m not sure I want either almond or oolong to be that strong. The flavors also don’t quite meld right for me. There’s nothing wrong with this tea, and it is exactly what they advertise it as, but I just don’t love it.

Flavors: Almond, Marzipan

Preparation
Boiling 5 min, 0 sec 3 tsp 12 OZ / 354 ML

Bio

Wife, mom of 2 crazy young kids (and 3 cats, if they count). Used to be a professional tree hugger, now I stay at home hobbit-like and teach the kids to love the trees. Also hobbit-like, I love reading, tea, second breakfasts, cooking and food in general, and gardens. (I can’t really say I love gardening since where I live, it’s too dratted hot for too much of the year to actually do it.) I am always on the search for a good flavored decaf black tea. Suggestions are more than welcome!

I tend to like my teas strong, so I use more than most people when I brew. Don’t be put off a tea because I say I used 4 tsp to brew 12 oz or something – that’s just me.

PS – Unlike a hobbit, my toes are not furry. I just feel the need to clarify.
