This herbal infusion was a lovely pink color in the cup. I tried it first without sweeteners and it was slightly astringent and rough but with a spoonful of honey the flavor smoothed out and the tartness of the hibiscus was brought to the fore.

I have loved tea for quite some time but have only gotten into loose leaf teas in the last two years or so. About the only flavor I will not drink is anise/licorice.
I almost always put sugar in my tea. I rarely use honey. Many black teas (and all chai) usually gets a little milk added as well.
Blue Tetsubin – 12oz * This is my usual pot. I can fill my blue & white china cup (4oz) three times.
Green Tetsubin – 10oz * I usually use this with my pink Koran china cup & saucer set. I can fill one of those cups three times.
Yixing Pot – 6oz * Dedicated to dark oolongs. I usually decant the tea into a (6oz) paisley cup.
