Oh dear, another promising blend ruined by hibiscus. :( Teavana used to have a blood orange oolong which I absolutely adored. I think it did have some hibiscus in it, but it was subtle enough to add a bit of citrus acidity without taking over. Here (as is too often the case) it completely dominates whatever other ingredients are meant to be in the blend. Hard pass for me.

Flavors: Acidic, Hibiscus, Tart

Preparation
Boiling 5 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 10 OZ / 295 ML

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” ~ C.S. Lewis

I was introduced to loose leaf tea by a roommate in 2012, but it wasn’t until I stumbled upon Steepster in 2014 that I discovered a world of tea that went beyond Teavana and the grocery store.

My tastes continue to evolve, but black tea is currently my favorite. I am especially drawn to strong, malty breakfast blends to wake me up in the morning and flavored dessert teas to sip throughout the day.

Just about everything in my cupboard is available to swap, so feel free to ask!
