Elletea drank Hibiscus Punch by DAVIDsTEA

32 tasting notes

I expected to hate this tea, but I didn’t. It was rather pleasant to drink. I think that’s because when I brewed it, the hibiscus took a back seat to the fruitiness and ginger spice. (I’m not a huge fan of hibiscus. But, sometimes it works well in a blend.) But, this tea didn’t knock my socks off. Pretty forgettable, thus it scores just an average 3-star rating. This was March in the 2014 Tea of the Month 2014 collection I bought in December. I just recently finished all 12 samples. But, I didn’t have time to review all of them when I drank them. So, this tea was one of the ones I don’t remember very well.

Flavors: Fruit Punch, Ginger, Hibiscus

Bio

My favorite variety is green tea, but I also enjoy pu’erh, oolong, white, herbal tisanes, rooibos, and certain flavored black teas.

I’ve dabbled with Teavana, Tazo, and Adagio. But DavidsTea is where my love of loose leaf started back in 2009, and their blends are still my favorites. They had a rough year in 2020, but I hope Davids can still bounce back.

In my head, I rate my teas on a 5-star system, so for Steepster I’ve devised the following system:

90 – 100 = “5 stars”
All time favorites and inspired blends

75 – 89 = “4 stars”
Quite enjoyable—would like a 2nd cup! Might order this tea for my cupboard

50 -74 = “3 stars”
Nothing about this tea stands out. It might be an odd or unbalance blend. One cup is enough to satisfy my curiosity.

25 – 49 = “2 stars”
Tolerable, but I definitely wouldn’t buy it again.

0 – 25 = “1 star”
Can’t even finish the first cup
