First Impressions: Two Words – Cough Syrup
Review:
Wow! I very rarely come across a tea that I have trouble finishing at least one cup, but this pushed it! It tasted sweet, but was more like cough syrup than anything, and I HATE cherry cough syrup! I think it really is the overpowering smell that brings it such a similarity to medicine. I did think it interesting that they had whole dried cherries in the tea, but that was really the only think that was remotely positive about this. It gets half a point only becasue I was able to force the rest of the cup down. In my opinion: stay away!
Side note: If you are one who likes the flavor of cough syrup, you might really enjoy this, but you are weird.
My Rating:
.5 / 5
