I’ve steeped this a few times since purchasing it last summer. I do add a few drops of stevia to this because 1.) I like my iced tea sweetened and 2.) because steeping 2x the tea leaves/blend for iced tea seems to amp up the tart hibiscus. Next time I might try steeping this on the lower end of the suggested steep time to see how the taste differs. Overall, I think this tea is a very pleasant combination of tart and sweet, and it makes killer iced tea.
