Picked up 50g of this on Sunday while refilling my favorite Nepal Black.. actually Nepal Black was out of stock so I ended up with just this.

Dry lef or hot brewed, this tea smells delicious. It has a beautiful rich jammy color from the hibiscus. I was drawn to this tea for it’s Guayasa content since I’ve felt pretty sloth like lately but didn’t want the grassy flavor.

I’ve never actually tried a hibiscus tea, but the taste is nothing special. I taste sour blackberries and lemon zest. Quite tart/sour on the initial sip, sweetening over time. The flavor does not linger. I can very faintly taste the Guayasa… but I actually added a teaspoon of my own Guyasa to my 50g to give the tin some more kick.

I’m happy to use this as a Guayasa alternative, but as a flavored tea for enjoyment? Maybe not too often. I wouldn’t recommend it for everyone. I do think this would make an awesome cold steep tea with some additions in the summer.
