Sipdown! (23 | 300)
So I do quite enjoy this one. The jasmine could be a bit stronger IMO, as I only really get a hint of it currently. I like the level of hibiscus, it adds a nice gentle tartness without being sour. It’s honestly hard to tell if I’m getting orange because of the hibiscus, and I really like Deb’s orange teas, so maybe a bit more orange would be nice as well. I do taste the familiar acrid sort of tartness of dried apple.
I will say this tea requires overleafing, as I think most of her teas do (because there’s no flavoring), otherwise it tastes like bland, slightly hibiscus-flavored water. With a bit more leaf, it does remind me of a tarter fruit punch with a hint of jasmine.
I don’t think this blend is around anymore unfortunately, not sure if it’ll come back for summer or if it’s just gone for good…
(P.S. – Yay, 300 sipdowns for the year so far! \o/)
