Fruit Medley from Our Home Tea
62

I have been holding off on this one for a while…because it’s a pure straight-up fruity herbal. Those often scare me! I just finished my infusion. it’s neat pink-orange-red-brown color. But I can already tell it’s fruit, and tart, and hibiscus! Ekkkk!
Bottoms up…

Oddly enough…the beginning or the sip is smooth but the end of the sip is a fruity squeaker! Yes, I said it! A Squeaker! The tartiness squeaks out right at the end of the sip! Almost a last harrah type thing…

I really thought I wouldn’t be able to finish this – thinking it would be all tart and nothing else…but it’s almost smooth (until that squeak at the end!) but since I am still drinking it and really surprised at this – I will score it fairly high…especially since I am one that is usually scared about fruity herbals! WOW! it’s drinkable. YAY! Pleasant surprise!!!!

Yay! I have a small tin of this lying around that I haven’t tried yet, but it smells less tart than my other fruity herbals, which is a good sign! I am not a big fan of hibiscus, LOL.

Me either…as I am getting to the end of the cup and as it cools the tart flavor is coming out more…so maybe understeep…if you are like me with the tart and hibiscus!?

I don’t understand why companies have to add hibiscus— IMHO it’s disdainful.

Hah! I add extra hibiscus to this! I guess that makes me the odd one out.

Awww guys, I love me some hibiscus! It goes great with certain things, such as pomegranate! You guys are cutting me deep :( haha

Heh, I don’t hate hibiscus. I just am not a fan of teas where that’s the primary ingredient…for example, Celestial Seasonings Lemon Zinger…blargh!

You might not hate it Shanti, but I do! Death to hibiscus!
