Has a creamy mouth-feel as well, but is still very light and refreshing.

I thought I would really like this one but really did not. I tried it at home, and then gave it a second shot at work- it just was not for me.

It tasted sort of bland overall, despite putting extra tea into the water. The strongest note was cinnamon, follpwed by the maple note seemed a little artiicial and there was this woody-bark taste underlying that I did not enjoy and cannot pinpoint.

I was surprised to discover I enjoyed this as it is not my usual fare. The walnut notes are subtle and give the tea an earthy body that really mellows out the orange tanginess. It’s very mild so I had to brew it strong, but it was especially wonderful with a splash of cream.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Citrus, Nutty, Orange, Sweet

I am especially fond of flowering teas so my review is a bit biased! I could see someone more impartial to them being less of a fan.
Personally, I was delighted to discover this tea is just as good iced as it is cold, especially with a small bot of honey in it. The “honeydew” flavour does have a tinge of articial-ness too it I will admit, but it is not cloying nor is it overwhelming.
It has a scent similar to fresh dandelions, along with its smooth melon vibe.

Overall it was a sweet, light tea with a good balance of fruity and floral- very reminiscent of spring. The bug itself bloomed nicely, and did just fine on a second steep.

This tea is better off iced IMO, though I am not fond of either I can certainly see why someone would like this tea over ice, especially with a bit more sweetness added in or mixed into a pure tea.

To be fair, I am not the biggest fan of hibiscus so this tea was starting off on the wrong foot with me. However I still feel like this tea was overly sour and bitter. I think it would benefit from being mixed in with some black tea.
Hot, it is very tart as you would expect, but here is a weird texture that coats your tongue, maybe from the flavouring? I also tasted a kind of odd smokiness, and the blackberry flavouring is pretty overwhelming.
