There are no preparation instructions on the box so it took some trial and error before I got it right. I almost gave up on this tea after my first cup but I am glad I came back and tried preparing it differently.
1st try – 96 degree Celsius water for about 6 minutes
I liked the fruit flavors mixed with rooibos but it was way too tart. Rating 50/100
2nd try – Ice water for about 1 hour
Still a bit tart but not as bad as the first try. Rating 70/100
3rd try – about 90 degree Celsius water for about 90 seconds
Very fruity taste blended with rooibos with a tart aftertaste. Rating 70/100
Flavors: Fruity, Rooibos, Tart

Hm. Maybe cold brewed would be better? If that’s your thing :)
Thanks for the good idea!
I just brewed another cup but this time I brewed it in ice water for 1 hour. I enjoy it a bit more this way. It still tastes tart but it’s better. If you add a bit of sugar it would probably take the edge off as well. I did not try sugar though… adding sugar to tea is not my thing.
I very very rarely add sugar as well.
Glad it’s improved a bit!
