I am very torn on this tea. I liked the taste when I had it hot but it was thick and oily and that was off-putting so I avoided it. Then I thought it would make a great cold brewed teas. The oiliness is not an issue nor the thickness. However, there is a bitterness that emerged in the flavor that is unpleasant. I guess there is no winning with this one :(

I do a lot of cold brewing, and for me, I dislike most white teas and hibiscus in cold brews. They taste bitter or off to me all the time. You can try cold brewing for less amount of time and see if that helps.
I shall have to try that and see. These brewed for a while because I made them before bed and ended up sleeping in really late because the first time I woke up I did not feel great.
The herbals I brewed all had a bit of hibiscus in them (I think) and that is the prominent flavor I am finding where as the ones I made a couple days ago the hibiscus was more a background note.
Ah this one brews better as a hot brew in my experience. But it’s one of my favorites.Brewed hot it has the perfect amount of sweetness, just have to have the right temperature and such. I suggest it with citrus lavender sage. <3
