2.25 tsp for 200mL water @93C, steeped six minutes.

Dry leaf: an exceptionally pretty tisane, with apple pieces and various flower petals. Fruity scents with some peppermint, cola nut, and what smelled like a fruit flavouring.

Wet leaf: much the same.

Liquor: yellow-bronze. Fruity scent with not much from the peppermint. The cola nut does not dominate as in Rise N Shine. I didn’t taste the lemongrass, though I pick up on honeybush. I wish the mysterious “flavouring” were identified and perhaps turned down, because something fruity and slightly artificial dominates the finish. Still, pleasant and easy to drink. A subtle energy lift, not as potent as Rise N Shine.

Citizen Tea really shine on their blends.

I prefer straight teas but will try almost anything … so long as it’s not tainted with hibiscus. I loathe hibiscus.

Floral oolong and complex black teas are my favourites.
