Tea Forté's Cherry Cosmo is a darn peculiar tea. In addition to the cherry fruit flavor, there's a weird, almost fizzy over-taste. It's not quite lime. It's not quite hibiscus. Looking at the ingredients, I can't quite account for it: organic rosehips, organic hibiscus, organic apple pieces, organic raspberries, natural cherry flavor, other natural flavoring (berry).
As a hot tea, the over-taste is borderline unpleasant. As an iced tea, however, it more or less vanishes; what's left is a flavorful tart cherry taste.
As between Cherry Cosmo and Adagio's similar Dewy Cherry, I like Dewy Cherry better as a hot tea, but this one better as an iced tea, although neither is ideal. Honestly, the best cherry tea I've tasted so far is good old reliable Celestial Seasonings' Black Cherry Berry.
