I’m on vacation for the next week, so I’m kicking off the break with a taste test! JusTea was kind enough to send me their new herbal teas in advance of yesterday’s launch, which I’ve decided to cup all together as a vertical tasting!
My fave of the three was Hibiscus Glow, which had such a vibrant, berry-like flavour and just a really clean, crisp finish. Because of its tartness and acidity, sometimes hibiscus can be very drying on the palate and rather sharp or shrill, but this one came off as beautifully balanced and cheerful! It also had a very nice level of natural sweetness. I rarely make iced or cold brewed teas using teabags, but I actually think this would be a blend I’d make an exception for. There are lots of fun ways to brew this up, especially now that it’s summer.

I had the same song pairing for all three, but I’m just going to capture it once here in this tasting note to not be repetitive.
