I’m going to try this again. My first date with Blueberry Cocktail was disappointing. The hibiscus taste (or at least I think it is hibiscus) runs away with the whole gestalt. There are ample blueberries in the dry tea. Plenty of blueberries! And yet, perhaps, the other components overwhelm the blueberry.
For me, the hibiscus comes across as a loud and brassy citrus-y note, but without the clear flavor of an orange, grapefruit, lemon, or lime.
Preparation
Comments
I agree with the hibiscus comment. I also thought it had a lot of grape flavor. But, the more I drank it, the more I liked it. And I love the way it makes the house smell like blueberry pop-tarts. I didn’t like this one when I first tried it, but I just ordered a whole bag of it yesterday. BTW, it tastes great cold.

Did you add any sugar to this? If not, try it with a little sugar or agave nectar.
Blech. Too much hibiscus ruins so many otherwise-good fruit blends
I did add some sugar. I think this might be ok as an iced tea but I don’t think I’ll buy it again. Yes, I’m going to, in the future, avoid tea with added hibiscus unless it gets excellent reviews.
