This was a free sample provided with my last H&S order. I received the large sachet for iced tea. It makes 2 quarts.
The description states that this is a hibiscus blend but doesn’t go into as much detail as the description of Raspberry Herbal loose leaf, so I don’t know if they are identical mixes or not.
When I was at Barnes and Noble a few months back, an employee was encouraging me to buy a tin of this. I asked if she had tried Tazo Passion and she said yes. I asked how this differed and she said it didn’t. I think she was wrong there.
While the two are similar, this is a bit more restrained than Passion. The hibiscus is there, don’t get me wrong, so if you hate hibiscus you probably won’t like this. But it isn’t so….well, like a kids’ drink.
There is more than hibiscus to this blend and while I think children would enjoy it, I think it has a little more refinement than some such blends.
This is not one I am likely to buy unless the family just goes crazy over it, but I will enjoy this pitcher of it. I would really love to try their other iced blends that have a tea base, black or green!

Lucky you getting a free sample. I have not gotten one in my last several orders even though Mike mentioned on Facebook that they put one in all orders. Don’t get me wrong, I am glad they treat you so well. (If anyone deserves such treatment, it is you!) I am disappointed, lately. I will still keep buying from them, but I don’t think I am such a fan of their customer service anymore. My experience with them has turned pretty average. It kind of makes it hard for me to be such an advocate for their brand.
I didn’t get a free sample with my last order either, which I found strange as well as disappointing, because in previous orders I had received samples, and I thought maybe they had changed their policy or something. It was, as I said, disappointing.
I have received a sample in my recent orders, but I can not say for sure that I have received one in every order. I think I remember being surprised the first time I got one a long time ago, so my first orders may not have had them. I thought it was just a sometimes thing.
I thought it was a sometimes thing, too, until I read on Facebook:
Do you offer free samples?

To be fair, I have had them in about half of my web orders, probably moreso in the beginning rather than lately. I would not have expected one in this last order except for the posting above. Maybe there is a price threshold?
