I drank the first cup so fast I couldn't even log it! The second cup (fresh bag) I drank while starting the post. I am now on cup #3.
I had a wonderful (though tea-less) weekend with my friends, and came home to some drama that had me shaking with fury. I wanted a nice soothing cup of tea to calm down. I choose this for the vanilla. Sadly it is a mild hint of vanilla instead of a prominent flavor. It is however a lovely tea. Not as delicious as the pineapple lychee.
Bobbie and MilitiaJim both are displeased with the tea and find it to have a "fake sugar" after taste.
Note: I love hibiscus
Rating: 3/4 leaves
