I can’t exactly feel my mouth right now as I had a filling this morning and 2 shots of Novocaine! My lower lip is numb, as is most of the left side of my face…but the taste buds on the right side appear to be working for the most part! What I can taste is pretty good, very hibiscusy as I remember! Chose this one as I knew it was fairly strong. I will not tamper with my rating as I don’t really trust my judgment right now! ;)
