Cherry Almond Black Tea

The mixture of Almonds and Cherries is one of Europe’s best loved flavor combinations. In the Ukraine, cherries are added as a filling to almond pastry, a Ukrainian favorite, and then baked to make cherry almond pastries. In the more northerly Scandinavian countries, almonds and cherries make up one of the most popular varieties of muesli, which is often eaten as a breakfast cereal or baked into delicious and hearty bread. In Germany, cherry almond cheesecake has long been a favorite. This blended tea based on our high grown Ceylon, and true to its European roots, is a real treat. The flavor profile of freshly plucked cherries adds a pleasant sweetness to the nutty character of almond and the astringency of the tea. This is one of our favorite dessert teas. Brew a pot, pour a cup, and remember the old country!
