Another of Tealyra’s Germany-sourced teas, this of course contains no C. sinensis, and is fruit/herbal. And tasty! I made a single infusion cycle of 2 tsp in 10 oz boiling water in a drawstring fabric teabag. All the ingredients can be discerned, and the (purple) liquor has a lovely aroma of fruit and berries. Some tartness on the sides of the tongue probably from the hibiscus or strawberry leaves. I drank half of it straight and the remainder sweetened. Either way it would have also made a refreshing iced beverage.
Previously listed here under the former name of the company (Tealux) I’ve updated the listing with the new name, description and picture pulled from the company website.

Four years on and I am enjoying some of the tisanes in my cupboard for late night infusions. Came back to grandma’s garden, this time immediately sweetening with a lump of raw sugar, and finding it just like it was four years ago. Nicely tasty, with clear notes of strawberry, hibiscus and the other fruits. Not sure I know what elderberries taste like though. I begin to suspect that this is not an uniquely in-house Tealyra blend, but rather a repackaged product, because Zen Tea carries a tisane of the same name with the same ingredients, in the same order, with almost exactly the same wording.
