(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } I recently got the 1.76 oz (50 g) bag of MIXYWAY Cherry Stalk (Prunus avium), and I’m pleased with what’s inside. The stalks have a clean, earthy aroma and are cut into generous pieces—perfect for tea blends or DIY crafts. Knowing that Prunus avium (sweet cherry) is rich in beneficial phenolic compounds and antioxidants—like sakuranetin and naringenin—makes this feel like a thoughtful, health-minded buy .Positives:Natural and aromatic: The scent is subtle but distinctly cherry‑tree-like—very pleasant.Decent quantity: 1.76 oz gives you enough to experiment with infusions, tinctures, or even potpourri.Clear packaging: Nice to see exactly what you’re buying—no hidden fillers.Could Be Better:Preparation tips missing: Directions for steeping time, ratios, or storage would be helpful.Not snackable: These aren’t edible in the traditional sense (and some parts of the cherry tree are mildly toxic ), so they’re not what you’d want to nibble on.Mild flavor: The taste is delicate; if you like strong flavors, you might want to combine it with other herbal infusions.Bottom line: This cherry stalk set gives you quality Prunus avium material—clean, organic, and versatile. Perfect for anyone who enjoys experimenting with natural teas, herbal remedies, or fragrant decor. With a little guidance (maybe from a recipe or herbal book), it could be even more user-friendly.

I’m not really sure what to say about this. It is exactly what you think it is. It’s a bag full of dried cherry stems, completely unaltered. I ordered it because I’d never heard of it and I was intrigued but there’s not really any big discovery here, it sort of is what it is. The flavor is ok, I guess? Nothing really exciting or interesting but not bad. I’m just very unsure of how I feel about this or even if I recommend this. I guess?

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor label and quality control.

I have a chance to try this MIXYWAY CHERRY STALK (STEMS), product of Turkiye, unfortunately it didn't work for me. The instructions is incorrectly reference to tea bags, which is ok, I can still figure out the amount to make a tea. It is the ingredients that set me back. I noticed I get more than just stems/ stalks. I did a quick examination on a handful, I found a few steams with seed, some branches, leaves, well, they are all fine in my opinion, I can always wash them before making my tea, however, the last.thing I found I am not able to identify, I hope they are tree barks, but I can't break them apart, it's like glue and felt rubbery. I am sorry this product needs improvement on quality control.

3.0 out of 5 stars The "raw" tea smells wonderful. The brewed tea seemed to lose the scent.

This package of dried cherry stalks smells wonderful. It reminds me of a cherry tobacco mix my uncle used before lighting it up. Definitely cherry and deep scented.I was surprised that after brewing, the scent was faint to the point of it just smelling like regular tea.I wasn't particularly fond of the taste - I was expecting the cherry flavor I was smelling when opening the bag. It went to a more standard tea flavor after 5 minutes of steeping.I can't vouch for the claims of kidney health and detox support, but I found no issues other than what I've mentioned about it losing the cherry scent/flavor after brewing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly as described, with more stems than stated in the listing (by weight). Fragrant.

Those not in the Bolo Vine program probably don’t know two things. First, many items have heavy tax penalties, so don’t be jealous – If you make pretty much any money at all at your day job, most Vine items won’t be worth the penalty. Second, when it comes to “food” there is typically no tax penalty, but you only get about 1 second (yes, ONE) to decide if you want something – if you hesitate at all, it’s too late. It’s like 5000 squirrels going for one acorn. Most people lose out.So I was surprised I got these, until I realized that I’d gotten cherry stems – an issue that arose from not being able to take enough time to get my reading glasses and see what was really being offered. So… I did not get these for any claims of benefits, and I won’t speak to any such benefits.I did get cherry stems. They smell clean and fragrant (like a light cherry potpourri). I weighed them out in a tared bowl, and there were more than stated on the bag, which I always appreciate. They are cherry stems, as pictured and as accurately described in the listing. They come in a rather hefty metallic zip-lock style bag.

2.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't really taste like anything, wrong label as well

I tried these stems with boiling water, they don't really taste like much and they didn't really make a tea. In addition the instruction label on the bag indicated there were tea bags enclosed so there were no real instructions on how to prepare the stems as a tea. Basically it is a bag of twigs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Supports kidney function.

MIXYWAY CHERRY STALKS, like other similar infusions made with dried cherry stems, are a natural, mild diuretic urinary detoxifier that promotes kidney health.Preparing the tea is simple: just steep 2-6 g of dried stems in hot water for 10-20 minutes, and enjoy it twice a day.I highly recommend it for detoxifying the urinary system and promoting kidney health.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent herbal tea!

This is a loose tea, so you need a bag to brew in your cup. I use a cloth tea bag. It smells wonderful. I add honey and lemon because I like a little sweetness. It would be a bit tart for me without it. This tea has a diuretic effect and is good for reducing edema. It is known for boasting your metabolism, which is why I drink it. It helps me with weight management. There are some potential drug interactions with blood thinners and diuretics, so I would check with your doctor before starting any new herbal or vitamin supplement. I don’t drink this everyday. Just whenever I feel like a hot drink to relax with. Maybe every couple of days. Excellent choice for this product!
