2 Tasting Notes
Hibiscus teas are a favorite of mine, but they’re tricky. They give beautiful color, but the flavor is delicate and can easily be lost. This tea blends hibiscus with huckleberry black tea and cloves, and when mixed with just a touch of sweetener, the hibiscus absolutely blooms!
The smell is delightful out of the cup – fruity and floral with just a touch of spice from the cloves. It’s my preferred “thinking tea” when wrestling with a difficult problem.
Preparation
I love this tea. I have to ration it because it doesn’t always appear to be in stock.
It’s a lighter, fruity tea with natural sweetness from the freeze-dried strawberries and ice wine-infused tea leaves. The sweetness melds beautifully with a rich cinnamon spice flavor for a wonderful brew on a cold winter’s night. I like a stronger brew, so I will use slightly hotter water to allow the tea to steep longer.
