There are a lot of fruit medley-type blends out there. Many skimp on the berry and up the hibiscus quotient to disguise this fact. The result is usually something overly tart. Fireberry is as the name implies – berry juice that’s been lit on fire. Quite refreshing, sweetens well, and probably ices well, too. Light years ahead of Tiesta’s other fruit tisane, Granny’s Garden.

Preparation
I had the urge to try something gut-bomby without the guilt. Why not a black tea blend with a double-dose of chocolate? This here blend possessed chocolate chips and cocoa nibs to create something that tasted like an unrefined French pastry. With sweetener, it really shined. And I’m sure it could latte well. No subtleties here.

Preparation
I consider myself a hibiscus apologist. I love the stuff. Whenever I make a fruit or rooibos blend – or an iced tea – I like to throw those red shells into the fray. However, even I will acknowledge when there’s just a little too much. This is one of those times. With orange and apricot also in the mix, I wanted more of a citrus presence from this. I only got a faint impression of it in the middle. The rest was quite tart and sour. That said, I still enjoyed it. Just not as much as I wanted to.
