Tasters Review:
I’m not going to lie…when I was finished infusing this the color of it frightened me! I was also worried about the Hibiscus – many of you know my trials and tribulations with that ingredient…BUT…
This IS pretty pleasant! I’ve VERY shocked and surprised that the level of hibiscus is what it is! As it cooled – I could taste more tartiness so I will drink this HOT! If you are after the fruitier or tartier flavor you might like it cooler. The Lemon Balm follows it as far as ingredients that pop out a little more than the others but the one that lingers is the Lavender and it’s a pretty lavender as well as a little chewy…if you can picture that!! The rose and Orange are about equal in taste-intensity and that is subtle.
This is pretty and sassy and different all in one…I think it’s a neat blend and tastes alright! If you are looking for a positive blend and something that is positively unique…give this one a whirl!

Taster’s Review:
I was a little confused when I read the packaging – the list of ingredients on the card that came with this sample of tea doesn’t include cinnamon, but I was certain it was in there. I could smell it and taste it. I was a little worried that somehow my olfactory nerve and taste buds were off. After visiting the website I see that there is, indeed, cinnamon in the blend.
So at least my nose and tongue aren’t so off after all. But I still worried that this tisane would be very hibiscus-y since it was the first ingredient listed. But really, the hibiscus isn’t very dominant here. It adds some much needed body (without it, I think this would be a dismally thin cuppa) and color, as well as just a hint of flavor that enhances the citrus-y tones of the cup.
That being said, as this tisane cools the hibiscus flavor does start to become more aggressive – so if you like the taste of hibiscus, drink this iced. If you’re not a fan of hibiscus, I suggest drinking it hot!
The primary flavors of this cup are the citrus-y tones (most notably, orange) and the cinnamon, and it makes for a very nice, warmly spiced orange-y tisane. I can taste the rose and the lavender also, but, these are not particularly strong in this cup. The lemon balm adds just a hint of lemon-y flavor, but without lemon-y pucker. It is a very charming balance of tastes.
A beautiful herbal blend that is just as good for you as it is delicious to drink! Cheers!
