This steeped up a dark red/burgundy. Very hibiscus, but much deeper in colour. This tea smelled very, very berry-y. The taste was much deeper and ‘thicker’ than I anticipated (like when I have Cavalla and think it will be like hot chocolate — this tea was the hot chocolate version, or like mashed berries poured into a mug). The flavour was akin to a warm cherry juice. But not exactly cherries — that may be the elderberry. Regardless, I was happily impressed with this one!
This is You :-D

Bio
I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos, herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens.
Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, apricot, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.
I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it.
Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.
I’m vegan and have an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I’ll happily pick them out of blends).
