I can't taste the hibiscus at all, and am disappointed. I enjoy hibiscus. I think it might do well next time with some sugar or honey. As far as other red teas I have had this is not among my favorites and I don't plan to buy it again. It is well executed (packaging, quality, amount) but doesn't have enough pizazz.
Post-Steep Additives: none
Resteep: with honey, sweeter, less dry tasting, maybe even a little floral hibiscus and orange (not sure where the orange is coming from)
Rating: 1/3
