Sample sipdown! For better or worse I’m putting all my samples in here in the hope that I’ll be horrified by the number of teas I have and use some up. Knowing me it’ll probably work.
This tea is aptly named, because I feel the same about this as I do about the song “Sleigh Ride.” It’s too forceful and it screams “winter holidays.” Unfortunately those holidays have passed so again I’m left with the impression that someone took something very similar to Forever Nuts (which I loved) and put a bunch of hibiscus flowers on top. I think hibiscus is officially my least favorite tea ingredient now, beating out such contenders as peppermint and orange rind.
ETA: My tastes may be off, but this is absolutely disgusting today and is turning my stomach. I usually make myself drink the cup even if I don’t like the tea, but today I can’t and it’s going down the drain. Never, ever again!

I definitely hear you. I hate hibiscus and me and this tea really did not get along. Also, I also typically hate orange rinds because I find it makes teas bitter. I don’t mind peppermint though.
I feel the same about orange rind! I taste bitter strongly and it ruins both teas and foods for me. Peppermint is just personal dislike though, I’ve always hated mint flavors and now only like spearmint in small quantities.
