I tried a sachet of this (from Easter 2023 when I bought myself a gift set of 12 different herbals to try) and I love the little pyramid box it comes in.
I cold brewed this three times and it brewed three strong cups.
650 mL cold water for 2 hours + ice – a strong cup that is dark orange and fragrant. I smell honey notes and I can smell rooibos more than honeybush. It tastes slightly minerally (as rooibos does) with lightly dried grass and sticks, but also a honey floral note. The more I pay attention to the flavours, the more I can make out distinctive fruits. I get some acai, but even more I get cherry, orange, and red fruits. The hibiscus is mild but actually adds a fruity note and a nice bit of acidity.
650 mL with ice this time for ~45 minutes – a lighter steep but still 70% of the flavour of the previous cup. I drank it fast because it’s so hot out and I am very thirsty doing yard work
650 mL for about 6 hours in the fridge – another heavy steep. I get even more cherry and pomegranate but no acai. I think I get some plum notes and maybe apricot or peach. Much less hibiscus now but the fruity flavour is a bit more generic.
Flavors: Apricot, Cherry, Fruit Punch, Fruity, Hibiscus, Plum, Red Fruits, Rooibos
