Hot: This has a jammy strawberry taste with almost no hibiscus tartness when hot. It’s quite lovely and I always end up finishing my cup without even realising it.
Chilled: This one has a scent almost like those strawberry Campino candies (does anyone remember those?). The taste is much more hibiscus mixed with strawberry. The hibiscus is definitely toned down and I don’t really get any tartness. The overall flavour is quite nice.

I had to go look up Campino—they aren’t what I thought they were (which was the hard candy filled with a liquid center my grandpa kept all the time).
I know ones like that too! There were delicious strawberry ones in a red and green wrapper (these may be different from the ones your grandpa kept): https://www.google.com/search?q=hard+strawberry+candy+with+soft+center&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiwpcvV1tf3AhUaATQIHarHARUQ_AUI-QcoAQ&biw=1440&bih=692&dpr=2#imgrc=fxsiE_tsFRCydM
I have had the same ones as gmathis, but never heard of Campino. I will check World Market for them!
Yep, those are the ones, although he also kept tins of assorted hard Christmas candy—both filled and plain—that got kind of sticky and hairy in the summer ;) Didn’t keep us grandkids out of it, though!
