I used 1.5 tablespoons of dry leaf for 375 ml of water.
No tartness, but a bit of tang is present which compliments the flavour profile. The flavour, however is quite faint with and only 4 minute infusion. Very authentic berry tasting. Possibly just a hint of artificial taste near the end of the sip.

This is one I’ve been debating about getting. I love the name, but I’m not sure about all the flavors. Is it hibiscus-y at all?
I would say that it does taste like it has hibiscus in it; hibiscus that isn’t very well balanced with the other flavours. I’m thinking that it’s the ‘lemon verbena’ ingredient that is making it tart. This tisane was undrinkable for me when infused for the maximum recommended time of 7 minutes. If I get a chance to try this tisane in the future I’ll probably play around with the infusion parameters a bit more.
Hmm. Thanks for letting me know. Doesn’t sound like one I would like – but I do still love the name! :)
