      This was just not good, very astringent and dry, it smelled very strange, not a single cranberry was present.

      Upon opening the packet, I time traveled to my childhood and could have been holding a bottle of Flinstones vitamins. Definitely an abundance of chewable vitamin C tablet aroma. 2 min @ 175. A light tanginess, not necessarily cranberry flavor, but I couldn't get past the vision of vitamins.

      This is a great fall and winter tea to drink with sweetener on its own, or blended with other flavored teas.

      I love this tea! Nice black tea with a tart cranberry nuance. So good as hot tea. I'm sure it's great cold too.

      Better iced than hot because it's a bit on the tart side. Tried it once, don't really need to buy more of it.

      Love the tartness of this tea with a bit of rock sugar to balance out the tartness. A good blend for the winter months.

      Sour and slightly sweet. More of a raspberry leaf flavor than cranberry to me. Better with some added sugar.

    • 

      Pretty sour, but the bitterness of the cranberry is brought out by the black tea. Better iced and sugared than hot.

      i like the sweet tanginess of cranberries, in fact dry them myself... not simple. lol Adagio takes out all the work and they go well with a black tea

      Such an interesting combination! The tart cranberry flavor goes great with the black tea

      Smells just like cranberry. Has a nice tart cranberry taste as well which doesn't overshadow the black tea, but rather complements it.

      It was okay, but really not fantastic. Really astringent and next to no cranberry flavor in my personal opinion.

      i thought this would be super tart, but it really wasnt

      Much sweeter than I thought it'd be! A lovely tea to say the least. I really enjoyed the mild tartness that juxtaposed the sweetness.

      I was expecting a tart flavor, but this was on the sweeter side. Overall, it tasted very natural and smooth and I liked it more than I thought I would.

      Tasty holiday tea, complete with a cranberry in the pack. Tart, and wonderful with honey like a sweet cranberry sauce.

      This is a wonderful tea. It is great hot or cold. I would recommend.

      There were no cranberries in my CommuniTea packet, but I still got a strong, fruity scent from the packet. Plenty of raspberry leaf bits were clinging to each other. My 1st steep was 3min at about 190F. I added a spoon of sugar, and I didn't notice any bitterness. A berry flavor was noticeable, but it wasn't distinctly 'cranberry'. I did a 2nd steep for 4min at about 200F, again with a spoon of sugar, and it somehow had more berry flavor than the 1st steep.

      Good flavored tea. The cranberry flavor is strong but pleasant and not too overwhelming

      Now THIS is a scrumptious tea! I only wish there were more cranberries and a greater cranberry flavor, but it’s still a GREAT flavor! I usually drink unflavored black teas so I added milk to this out of habit.... and it was smooth and yummy!! A great mistake to make!

      This comes in their Christmas sampler, which I recommend because every tea in it is fabulous!

      This one was nice to get in my advent calendar. Much less candy sweet than some, but still fun.

      Very fitting for the winter season, love that this actually tastes like cranberry without tasting artificial or compromising the black tea flavor, the black tea is also not too strong or overpowering and compliments the cranberry nicely, you can sort of taste a hint of the earthiness of the raspberry leaf but it isn't enough to be bothersome
