I am having this tea as my morning cup of energy since I must go out into the world and try once again to find employment; knowing all the while I will be met with no. I take on tea bag and put this in my cup and fill it with boiling water and leave to steep for five minutes. After the set time I take my tea and find it to be a lovely pink grapefruit color and smells wonderfully of hibiscus and rosehips. When I sip and sip this tea, first it is slightly on the salty side/ acidic like but mellows out eventually to fruity/citrus like flavoring. This tea is not unsweetened but non-astringent with a natural citrus sweetness to be found in plants like Rosehips fruits, and Hibiscus plant.
It is a lovely tea and one to be compared with Rooibos since it seems similarly in coloring. I mean this tea makes me think of Rooibos teas.
