The red and purple of the rose petals and hibiscus, the grey-green of the tea, the light yellow-green of the lemongrass and the tiny blocks of orange peel make this a colorful tea to look at. In the sample packet, the dry leaves smell strongly and almost exclusively of orange peel.
I think I oversteeped this — I set the timer for 5 minutes but got preoccupied, and it may have been longer than 6 by the time I got back to the tea. It had steeped to a really lovely peach color and still smelled strongly of orange peel.
The taste, however, had a single, sour/bitter note: orange peel.
I will try one more time with the rest of the sample and move the slider if things improve.
