From 52teas

My wife has been asking me for this blend for months. Sometimes I ask her what I should blend next. She likes to throw out ideas, and most of the time, I say, “Nah,” which irritates her to no end. “Why do you ask my opinion if you never listen to it?” Well, wifey of mine, I do listen. I don’t always act immediately, but I do consider everything you say.

So, here, for my lovely wifey, is a gunpowder green tea blended with almond slivers and freeze-dried cherries. I love you, Sheri.

Another tea from Evol Ving Ness. Thank you!

This has cooled quite a bit and though the flavor is subtle, it is nice and smooth. Cherry is the flavor that sort of delicately lingers on top and it is by no means cough syrupy. Gunpowder is hanging out underneath but is still present. Those both melt into the nuttiness of the almond that just pops at the end of the sip. It is quite lovely albeit lightly flavored. I am a fan.

This spoon of dry leaf had TWO colossal sticky sweet Bing or Bing-type cherries nestled among the sunflower seeds and gunpowder pebbles.

The cherry flavour hovers nicely over the earthiness of both the gunpowder and the slight saltiness, really or imagined, of the sunflower seeds. In some sips, the rich natural cherry follows up on the tailend of the sip as well.

I continue to be a bit undecided, in general, about the sunflower seeds which most definitely come through as sunflower seeds regardless of whatever we are calling the flavour. In this tea in particular, I find the sunflower seeds in the first few sips rather jarring—screaming SUNFLOWER SEEDS at me—and then, somehow, I get over it and it’s all rather lovely.

As I mentioned in my review of this tea brewed hot, I was in the process of cold-brewing some too. I haven’t been at the computer very much over the last two days – so this is my first chance to sit down and write about this tea cold-brewed!

This is really good cold-brewed. I generally prefer hot tea and I do enjoy this one hot but the flavors of cherry and almond come out much more abundantly when it’s cold-brewed so I strongly recommend cold-brewing this to enjoy the flavors of cherry and almond!

Really nice – refreshing!

From TGCTTB (round 3)
I tend to really enjoy gunpowder teas and I love cherries so when I saw this one in the box I knew I had to try it. My holy hesitation is that I didn’t want it to come out artificial but given some of the reviews here that hopefully won’t be the case.

The scent of the dry tea is very interesting, cherry (sweet but yet tart) mixing in with the slightly spicy green notes from the gunpowder, honestly it’s certainly not something that I would have envisioned but it’s definitely got my attention, especially with the little darker notes from the almonds.

First impressions? Huh… Good, almost sour cherry flavor lifted up by the gunpowder vegetal notes. The natural spice form the tea also adds an interesting contrast to the cherry flavor. I don’t get much from the almond until the back end of the sip, at that point too there’s a fair bit of astringency as well.

Overall? Not bad! I’ll have to see how the following cups are but this is one that could see holding onto :)
