This tea is kind of interesting in the brewed leaf I smell the apple, and grape with a touch of strawberry, while I taste apple, grape, hibiscus, elderberry and strawberry, with the liquorice underneath making it slightly spicy and sweet. I was craving something tart, and while this is it isn’t overly so, it does deliver. It has three of the vilians of the tea justice league, hibiscus, rosehip, and liquorice, but here they are well used especially since I steeped it more than three minutes. I love how the ingredients work together to create a purple grape colour as well!

The blend sounds interesting. See, I could totally handle hibiscus if it didn’t overpower everything else. But every time I have it, it takes everything away…The sweetness of licorice must help tone down the tartness of hibiscus and rosehip, good idea to put them together.
It is, the liquorice and the apple really help to temper the tart ingredients and they’ve managed to keep the liquorice to a point where it doesn’t overpower as well. It’s pretty well done.
