So sad to see others haven’t enjoyed this! I got the pitcher pouches and really liked them. I prep this by steeping a pouch (in a pitcher) in about two cups of boiling water. After 15 minutes, I top with cold water and stir. I leave the bag in – it doesn’t oversteep. I love the purple color and juicy flavor that results, so I’m a bit bummed that once I’m done with this pitcher it’ll be a sipdown. The most prominent notes are apple and berry, which works well in an iced tea. Hibiscus is the first ingredient but this isn’t tart the way a lot of hibiscus blends are. If I didn’t have a million things in my cupboard I could see restocking this come summer.

My eldest daughter bought this one and liked, but she does love hibiscus tea, as well. I may have to give it a try sometime.
Yeah, in fairness I don’t mind hibiscus generally and actively enjoy it when it’s done well, so I’m not sure how this would go for someone who doesn’t like hibiscus!
I have both the pitcher pouches and the loose-leaf and for whatever reason much prefer the pitcher pouches. It’s good mixed with a bit of grape juice during the summer.

Ooh maybe I’ll get some more pouches for the summer and try them that way, thanks!
