1) Smells like Tang. Which I should know because I just bought and reportioned some Orange Tang for hiking.
2) With hot water added, it smells like cranberry apple cider packets… which I just bought and reportioned for hiking.
3) Without sweetener, it tastes like apple berry stuff. Kinda like the apple cranberry hot cider, actually, just not sweetened.
4) As it cools, it’s less tart and more apple-berry-y.
Verdict: Pretty good, but I’m not sure I’ll buy more. Gotta try it iced first. :)

Wow, not expecting that haha.
Yeah, it’s odd! Granted, it’s more like seriously diluted Tang (which is what I’ve been drinking… a spoonful of powder in a giant glass of water), but still.
It has a bit of a medicinal taste when drank warm, too, which I don’t expect from the smell.
drank, drunk, drinked. IDEK.
Haha you’d think with the rose hips alone it would be wildly different than that. So strange.
It’s supposed to be drunk, but I’m not an ignorant grammar Nazi, so honestly no judging here. :)
English, why are you so hard?! :)
I was expecting a sour mess with the rose hips and hibiscus, but it’s actually not bad. Worth a try, for sure.
Actually, I think it’s the vitamin C/citric acid content of the rose hips and other ingredients that’s making it taste like Tang. It’s not oranges, it’s berries with vitamin C. (I just finished my cup cold this morning!)
That’s still so unexpected! I used to eat rose hip soup in Sweden for the vitamin C to battle colds, and it never reminded me of Tang.
Possible the sea buckthorn. I’ve never had it before, but apparently it has even MORE vitamin C in it. :)
