I love Sleepy Time tea, so when I saw this in Teavana, I thought I had found the loose leaf sister to my beloved tea. The ingredients appear to be the same but in a slightly different order. I made a big mistake with the above assumption. That will teach me…

The first thing I notice is tart, tart, tart. Then the citrus rears up and smacks me around a bit. I totally missed out on the mint I was expecting. I think my face actually puckered on this one.

they really need to cut back on their hibiscus usage

That is the tart! Perhaps I’ll stay away from hibiscus in the future. Thanks. :D

Many people have a disliking with hibiscus and when you start looking at flavoured tea’s you realise that it’s a very popular ingredient amongst them. I wonder why this is?

Missy

Well tart wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t the prominent flavor. Lemonade is a bit tart and that is part of why I like it. In lemonade I don’t have to muscle past the tart to get to the other flavors though. Some times I think they use ingredients for the color they add to the tea.

I’ve discovered I really like the spicy, nutty teas. Some fruity teas are pretty good but they are hit and miss for me. Flower teas really aren’t my thing right now. Seems like my preferences are changing so this may be different in the future.

Tea Rating system:

90 – 100: This is a tea I will always have on hand at work, and at home. I will leave it on altars as offerings of perfection.

80 – 89: This, or one of it’s close cousins, will likely be in my cabinet at home. When this tea runs out, I will buy more. I’ll always wonder if there is something better, but be too afraid to look to stray from home to find it.

70 – 79: Definitely good, but not a clear winner. I enjoy it, I’ll finish it, but I probably won’t buy it again until I’ve exhausted all other versions of this product from any reputable retailer. Though, it may enjoy a resurrection for custom blending.

60 – 69: This tea is okay, but definitely not something I’m going to brew again. I’m going to give what I have left away.

30 – 59: I didn’t finish drinking this tea. I actually poured it out, and went for something else. I’ll still give this tea away, but I’ll do it with a warning and a plead for forgiveness.

0 – 29: This tea is riding securely towards an iceberg at the helm of the failboat. I’ve taken this out of my tea tin, and laid it on a napkin as potpurri. I do not consider it fit for human consumption.

Yes, I did copy this from Dylan. It’s okay we share every thing any ways.
