Well, if you don’t like hibiscus then you certainly won’t enjoy this one. I personally have some mixed feelings about this tea.
I enjoyed the tartness of the hibiscus as well as the citrusy lemonade-like quality to this one. It makes a fantastic tea pop. I felt like the hibiscus almost hid the taste of guayusa completely. I don’t particularly love or hate the taste of guayusa, so I’ll consider that a positive quality.
However, the extreme tartness of this tea means that it’s not something I could ever see myself drinking in the morning, which is when I normally consume the more caffeinated varieties. It’ll have to be stashed away for those times when I need a late afternoon pick-me-up. Also, as someone with a variety of health issues and allergies that sometimes lead to my mouth and tongue being swollen and sore (not to mention chronic stomach trouble), such an acidic tea does me no favours. While I normally drink lots of tea on days when I feel crappy, I find I can only consume this one when I’m already feeling my best. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a nice treat on those days, but it won’t make my regular tea rotation.
