Cran-Orange Flavored Black Tea

My supply of this one is almost depleted! It’s a very good tea, pleasantly sweet, juicy flavor.

As I sit here and contemplate this tea, I am wishing I would have thought to order one of the cran-strawberry tea from 52 Teas… Frank does cranberry right. Cranberry teas typically scare me just a little because either they’re too tart or the cranberry flavor isn’t well represented. Not so with the cranberry teas that I’ve tried thus far from 52Teas (Cranberry matcha!) and Zoomdweebies.

Anyway… a very good blend. I’ll be sad to see it go, but, the truth is that I have plenty of other teas to keep me busy… and well… that makes me glad!

this is more of an orange tea than a cranberry tea…and it comes across as slightly artificial to me. I did my usual “don’t steep this for very long” as with most of franks teas. Overall, pretty lackluster.

(also…this brings me to 247, which is where my lovely tea sister ended last night. Not sure if she’s up and about drinking tea yet but it’s time to get down to business lol)

I received this one in Rachel’s fire sale! Thank you! This one has orange peels in it. Not any of the actual edible parts of an orange… just the peel. Oranges are usually not my thing in teas! This definitely tasted more like orange peels than oranges. I couldn’t taste much cranberry. The black tea as usual for Zooms is a nice base to let the flavors stand out. This isn’t my favorite Zoomdweebies! I’m still amazed I’m the only one to write a tasting note for their maple blueberry. I feel like Zoomdweebies teas are the less flavorful cousin to 52Teas.

Also, what’s the deal with Zoomdweebies? Do they not exist anymore? Any search just goes to the 52Teas page.

Another tea from the HHTTB, & a sipdown. There wasn’t much left of this, so Drew used it all. I tried a small sip.
:p tastes artificial

This is from the here’s hoping traveling teabox!

This was good, non-bitter black tea. The flavor of orange and cranberry get lost but this is a mellow tea. It has a nice sweetness for having no sugar.

Thank you Tea-Sipper for setting up the teabox!

This is enjoyable. At first I can taste a slight Cran taste…it fades away and the Orange pushes forward. The Orange is more creamy than I expected. It is quite nice tho!

Got this one from Tea Sipper I think. All my samples are in a pile so I’d have to go back through my messages to be completely sure.

I sipped some of this before stirring the teaspoon of sugar in and the tangy cranberry flavour came out but there was a bitter aftertaste to me. Post sugar, the bitterness is muted, but still there. I am picking up mostly cranberry with hints of citrusy sweetness. This is an okay tea, but I’m glad that I only have a sample to drink through.
