After finishing the Jus T’aime Elegant, I really needed a break from hibiscus – to the point that I didn’t even want anything tart. I intentionally passed by the leftover Vanilla Spiced Grapefruit and Dragonfruit Desire to open Day 6 of the Plum Deluxe herbal advent instead. Dear reader. Imagine my dismay, if you will, to find that Day 6 is a hibiscus blend! At least this has some ginger to ground it, I suppose? The ginger and cinnamon go a long way to this having more “hot apple cider” vibes than “tarty tart tart juice.”
Update: I made the second serving of this iced and added ginger beer (about 3/4 tea, 1/4 ginger beer). This is probably the optimal way to enjoy this blend. Perfect combo. The bite of the ginger and the tartness of the hibiscus are in perfect harmony like a cozy blanket over the underlying sweetness. Somehow very seasonally appropriate even though it’s a cold drink. Super happy I tried it this way!
