Default Any thoughts on Blue Tears?

Tom Wagner threw in a few seeds with a Green Zebra celebration promo, and I have three VERY healthy seedlings. I see it is a cherry with some antho blue. What are views on taste, overall desirability?

I grew it last Summer. It was definitely productive. It was a bit smaller cherry than Helsing ★★★★★★★★ or Fahrenheit Blues.

I thought the flavor was good. I liked the flavor of Helsing ★★★★★★★★ and Fahrenheit Blues just a bit better, but I'll definitely grow it again.

The biggest challenge for me was that I had very little antho coloring. They were almost completely red at ripeness. It took me a few attempts to let them get ripe enough to sweeten up.

Grew it this year and it was a beautiful bluish healthy productive plant with small red cherries ~ the size of Sungold or a bit smaller iirc. I liked the taste just fine and didn't mind that they weren't blue. Neighbor Suz wants to regrow them this year.
