Glad you had a better experience with it than I did. Lower water temp and less steeping time must be the key. I steeped it like I would an herbal and it was…pretty bad.

Luckily I rarely read the description before I make tea. I looked at the leaves and it looked like a green. If I saw this was a herbal tea, I would of done the same thing you did. Boiling water and a long steep. I think it also helped that my zojirushi was set at 175F and I was too lazy to reboil the water. Perhaps oversteeping the rosehip made your tea bitter?
