Advent day 13. Hibiscus. Sigh. I decided to try it anyways and to my surprise it isn’t bad! It isn’t even bright pink when steeped! It smells very peachy with a hint of pear. First part of the sip is flat as the flavors sort out in my brain, then the peach/pear combo kicks in with a touch of the hibby tang. It fades to just the fruit and then the finish has more of the hib tang. I’m not into it, but I’d tolerate it which is a compliment considering my hibiscus aversion.
