Herb tea recommendation - CELESTIAL SEASONINGS - BLACK CHERRY BERRY

Here is today’s herb tea recommendation.

Let’s prepare today’s tea.

I want to serve refreshing scent in a tea cup today.

I have prepared Celestial Seasonings’ Black Cherry Berry today.





Celestial Seasonings is herb tea producing company based in the United States.

The price is not so high, and they make popular and low priced products that are easy to get.

This is one of my favorite too as it is quite cost effective with good quality.





There are no strings and tags on Celestial Seasonings’ tea bags, and this is slightly uncomfortable.

They explained the reason on the package.  It says that they got rid of them because they are bad for the environment.

I think their marketing strategy is pretty good as it presents a good image to the consumers and make them believe that they care for the environment and save the production expense at the same time.





OK, let’s pour hot water and put the tea bag inside.

It says to brew 4~6 minutes.

I’ll brew for 5 minutes then.





There are many different ways to enjoy the tea depending on personal taste.

The most typical example would be to enjoy the taste or enjoy the scent.

You can also enjoy the color of the tea.  In England, people try to tell one’s fortune of 
the day by looking at the power remainders after they drink the black tea.

I came up with another new way to enjoy the tea these days.

Once I poured hot water into the tea cup with the tea bag in it, I watched inside the cup as the teas spread over water.

Some teas spread over very slowly while others sink to the bottom.  It made me feel like I’m watching abstract painting.

The black cherry berry tea spread over water as if when blood drops sink to the bottom.
Along with sourish cherry scent, it created captivating ambience.

I thought it would be best to use the tea cup made of clear glass to enjoy its full view.





Today’s tea is ready after 5 minutes of brewing.

The black cherry berry tea has dark red color like a blood.

It also has a very strong cherry scent.

But it did not last long enough.  As the tea got cool down, the scent also disappeared with it.

However, it still tasted good even after the tea is completely cold.

I think it will be a good idea to make it into iced tea during the summer.

The sour taste was still fresh.

It did not really leave so much of aftertaste, but that’s what made it tastes so clean.

Try to drink it with a dessert that is not too sweet such as a whipped cream cake with lots of strawberry on top.
