Marks and Spencer’s
cranberry and elderflower tea was sitting alluringly on my counter top last
week, so I finally decided to ask my flatmate if I could try some. The
combination sounded pleasant, so I read the box and discovered that they also
tossed raspberries into the teabags of caffeine free, natural ingredients. Once
in my cup, the boiling water took on a rich, ruby color while brewing the tea. The
smell rising from the cup was beautiful—a floral aroma, but much deeper than
the usual light flowery scent of my teas and with a touch of sweetness. But, I
was very disappointed when I finally took a sip. It tasted heavy, bitter, and perfume-like. A bit like an off tasting,
watered down juice from a cheap grocery store. I indulged with my eyes and
nose, but unfortunately couldn’t treat my taste buds to the same, as I had to
poor the rest of the cup out. I don’t recommend it, but it’s always best to try
things out for yourself! I'll also be trying out some of their other flavors soon.
