Nautilus Tea Company's Cherry Bomb Green

Nautilus Tea Company is a new company to me, so I was very excited to try to sample of their tea that I'd been gifted.  I really quite enjoyed it and I'll be looking into more of their products.

Cherry Bomb is a green tea with cherry (duh) and rose petals.  It's a wonderfully indulgent cuppa.  The scent of the blend is like dried cherries (no surprise, that's a major ingredient) and, when brewed, the tea echoes that aroma.  It's cherry flavor without being sweet.  It reminds me of the rick black cherries that I find in farm stands around here (NJ) in mid-June.  Under the cherries is a nice quality green tea that doesn't get too bitter, as some of the cheaper quality greens do.

Although there are rose petals in the tisane, I don't get any rose or floral notes in the tea.   If you're someone who likes sweetener in your tea, I imagine this would handle sugar or honey nicely. 

Coming off a couple of gray and rainy days here, this was a wonderful, summery treat.
