Filling in for the accountant who suddenly had to take the day off at the retail branch. This is the lone box of tea sitting in the kitchen beside the poor neglected Bodum electric water kettle that’s positively crispy inside with calcium from the questionable tap water. (Well, there’s also some Soothing Caramel Bedtime from Yogi, but I would sooner bite off my foot than try something with that ingredient list.)
Definitely haven’t had any of the zingers in awhile, but I liked them with some honey when I was younger. This one is tart, tart, tart from all of that hibiscus and added citric acid. It’s got enough cherry and blueberry flavoring in there to keep it from tasting like unsweetened hot agua fresca. It’s a solid hibiscus tisane if you’re looking for something mouth-puckering in the tea aisle of the grocery, but True Blueberry will always be my favorite from Celestial Seasonings. Can’t beat that blueberry pie filling brew.
Flavors: Blueberry, Cherry, Hibiscus, Tart

You might be on to something. I had to blend green tea with some old bags of the raspberry one to get through the rest of the box. Normally don’t mind rosehips, but the combo of that with hibiscus and citric acid made it taste like sour tomatoes. The only less palatable fruit tea from a popular brand that I can think of is that damn orange Tazo stuff.
Maybe Celestial Seasonings hibiscus blends are the reason so many people can’t stand hibiscus.
