Mulled pomegranate cider from teavana

So my friend picked me up a .9072kg bag of this from a place that gives out free stuff.

Smells so yummy!

Used 3tsp and 250ml mug. Steeped 20s.

Dominant flavours: cinnamon, hibiscus, ginger, pomegranate, black/red currents, raspberries, and blueberries.

Yum! I hear the teavana stores are closing down. Get some while it lasts.

I rate a 90/100

Will take photos on the weekend.
