I cold-brewed this yesterday, and was surprised to find that I like it more this way (I usually stick to fruity teas and tisanes for cold brewing). It brought out more of the flavor, and one of the things that bugs me the most about this tea is how bland it usually is.

I enjoy this a lot more than I expected! Mint is the primary flavor here, and the hibiscus adds an unexpected kick. I’m not usually a chamomile fan, but it doesn’t bother me in this particular blend.

Profile

Bio

Quick summary of ratings:

90s: Outstanding, I always want to have some of this on hand (but it’s also a tea I treasure and don’t want to overuse)!
80s: Very good, there are some minor improvements I would make but overall I love it and want to keep it around.
70s: Good, I might buy myself more of this someday but it’s not a priority.
60s: All right, I’m glad I got to give this a try but when it’s gone it’s gone.
50s: Not so great, I can drink this when I just really want tea (or the impact that the tea has, such as caffeine or health effects) but I’m kind of looking forward to being done.
40s and below: Various levels of dislike to hate. It just depends on how gross I think it is.
