My first thought about this tea was “…This is going to go straight through my infuser.” It’s ground so fine! Sure, that ensures a lot of flavor, but it’s also messy. Maybe I’ll use a filter next time.
As it steeps, the water turns deep magenta. Oh. Hibiscus. Though luckily, I mostly smell sweet fruit. Like black cherries and plums with a hint of cinnamon. Hmm. Reminds me of something Tazo used to make, only it was blackberry.
I’ll spare you the rest of the review. The tart hibiscus dominates this tea. Those tempting plum and cherry notes are hardly present at all. It’s just bright, sour, loud hibiscus. With cinnamon.

Booooooooooooooo hibiscus strikes again!
Blech!
I need to start a Hibiscus Tea Rescue Habitat on here. I could give a loving home to all the hated hibi teas, where they would be loved — and subsequently devoured - from my cozy overstuffed cupboard. :)
@Mastress Alita I’ve got a couple blends I wouldn’t mind sending off if you wanna PM me your address!
Hahaha! That almost makes me actually want to find a shoebox I can label “The Happy Home of Hibiscus”. (I did recently buy 45g of raw hibiscus petals from a co-op :-P )
