Organic Berry Berry Scarlet

I hate going into a tea or tisane thinking I am not going to like it BUT when Hibiscus is one of the main ingredients…it scares me! I’m TRYING to be open minded so…here…goes…eeeeek…

The combo of Currants, Cranberry, Orange Peel, Passion Fruit, Mango, and Blueberry does smell summery!

The Hibiscus isn’t as scary or tart as I assumed it would be THANK THE TEA GODS for that! Perhaps it was because I didn’t infuse it for very long or over-due my loose amount while infusing or perhaps it was because of the Honeybush/Rooibos ratio to the Hibiscus I am not sure but it’s not too shabby for a fruity tisane with hibiscus in it, I suppose.

It’s ok.

Wow! Is this tea a beautiful color! Scarlet is a fantastic description. The taste is also pretty powerful. I actually really like the flavors from the fruit bits. And, somehow, the fruit flavor doesn’t overpower the flavor of the Rooibos…which is probably my one complaint…I’m not a huge fan of Rooibos. But despite my dislike of the base flavor, I could definitely drink a few cups of this.
