This tea is fantastic, it reminds me a lot of fridays capricorn, all flavors come through so equally, there not one dominate flavor, the chrerry and the star anise both show up and let the other shine through, and crean is so present its is so rich and theres not a sour/tartness/bitterness youd think with reading sour cherry in the ingredients the base black tea come through great to its not a super strong taste over all the cherry cream and anise but is present enough in the cup that its not weak, this cup is rich and creamy and snooth and dessert like it is fantastic and everything, im drinking it hot but i think this one would be fantastic iced with maybe a little sugar/honey/agave

Sour cherry packs a perfect punch to accent the toasty bite of the black tea. For an extra decadent treat, latte the boi up. 10/10 will repurchase.

The perfect tea for a dark, stormy night. Rich black tea, a fruity note from the sour cherries, and the perfect amount of star anise, all balanced by cream flavoring. So good.

I’ve always been a fan of star anise and cherry (although I’ve not had them together before) but it’s so easy for either flavor to be overpowering. Once again Friday afternoon tea has found a great balance! Will be ordering again.

Though I'm usually picky when it comes to star anise I decided to give this tea a try because I love cherries and found it utterly delightful. The star anise flavor is definitely present, but I feel like it matches well with all the other flavors. I enjoyed it with some added sugar (I have a huge sweet tooth, though I will say I debated even adding any at all because the first taste without sugar was also very good. I am a sweets fiend at heart though.) and am kicking myself for not getting to it before the seasonal fandom switch. Definitely will be adding to my wishlist so that I remember to snag some (in a bigger bag) if/when it comes back.
