Tea mystery!
In the realm of experiences relating to having way too much tea, I usually can’t find some tea or other that I could have sworn I had. Like the Adagio Silver Needle Jasmine.
This one is the opposite. I have the notes to prove I had a sipdown of this once upon a time. And yet, when I dug through my drawer looking for things to take to work, there was a humongoid tin of this.
At first I was kind of upset that I found it because I remember it being too tart to be fully enjoyed without sweetening, but I decided to give it a shot unsweetened. Instead, I basically doubled the amount of mix I’d used previously.
It’s much nicer than my previous notes reflect, and I don’t know whether that’s because I put in so much mix, it’s mellowed with age, or my body chemistry has changed over time and is now more compatible with it.
But whatever the reason, tonight it is not: too tart, too bitter, too uneven in flavor. It doesn’t require sweetening. In fact, it seems to have some natural sweetness and a prominent strawberry note.
This leads me to a generality I’ve been noticing about fruit blends with hibiscus in them. It’s not always true that substantially overleafing can cut the tartness to something enjoyable rather than unbearable, but it’s been true often enough lately that I’m going to continue to do it.
Giving it a significant ratings bump.
hibiscus…
Die hibiscus, DIE!!!!
I swear Teavana has stock in this stuff!
There isn’t anything TEA in this…at all…not even close.
Again, I will try anything once, as long as it’s vegetarian…doesn’t mean I have to try it a 2nd time, eh!? LOL
I’m very grateful I was able to try this, however, just not my thang! :P
On to the next…
I’ll have to admit my reasons for sending some of this your way were rather selfish. (to rid my cupboard of it myself). I was quite unimpressed with this tea. I really wish they would use less hibiscus.
HAHA! No problem at all! I enjoyed trying something I have never tried before! :P
oh my! poor hibiscus
No hibiscus! I’ll save you!!!!
LOL Ricky saves the hibiscus and I save the rooibos we’re the flavor saving team!
Tea deserves representation! They don’t have a voice, then we’ll provide one for em! Uhoh, it’s like a tea party. I’ll stick with the Flavor Saving Team! It sounds better ;)
