Taster’s Review:
This tea worried me a little bit. When I first opened the tin, I could see the hibiscus, and I am not particularly fond of hibiscus. When I brewed the tisane, I could see the deep, ruby red color of the hibiscus. I was very worried.
But, I took a sip anyway. And you know what? This is actually pretty good! The hibiscus adds the color and body, but not so much of its signature tartness. That is not to say I can’t taste the hibiscus, because I can, but what I’m not experiencing is that puckery tartness from the hibiscus. And that is a good thing!
This is a very interesting combination of flavors. In each sip, I taste hibiscus, mint, rose and a hint of chamomile. The flavors are there, and it is as though they have all come together to create some hybrid flavor. It is also quite soothing and comforting to sip.
This tisane leaves me feeling somewhat perplexed. I am enjoying what I’m tasting, but, it is a very unusual cup. I don’t think I’ve tasted anything quite like it before, but at the same time, it is so very oddly familiar. It’s like deja vu or something!
A tasty yet unusual tisane!
