Update on The Republic of Tea Company Teabag Herbal Tea 'Natural Hibiscus'
Iced tea made in a large pitcher with 16 teabags, 8 cups hot water (filtered, boiling), and some ice.
A bit tart, so i added a splash of lemon juice and sugar free raspberry torani syrup
Delicious; sweet, hibiscus, tart, citrus, then raspberry sweet
Next time it could bear for some more water though, or less bags, and perhaps honey while it's hot.

The Republic of Tea Company Teabag Herbal Tea 'Natural Hibiscus'
Tea Information:
Tea: Natural Hibiscus
Type: Herbal Tea
Packaging: Teabag
Company: The Republic of Tea Company
Purchase: Here
Description: Ruby red hibiscus shines brightly in this evocatively fruity herbal tea. Sip the pure effervescence of hibiscus. Its crisp, bold juiciness stands out hot or iced. Evokes the thought of a perfect summer day in the tropics.
Ingredients: Hibiscus (flower); Sweet Blackberry (leaf); Stevia (leaf)
Steep Information:
Amount: 2 teabags
Additives: none
Water: filtered boiling 10 ounce mug
Steep Time: a little over 5 minutes, but then I kept the bags in
Served: Hot
Tasting Notes:
Dry Leaf Smell: sweet, floral, berry
Steeped Tea Smell: sweet, berry
Flavor: hibiscus! sweet, tart
MilitiaJim: natural sweet tarts candy
Body: Full
Aftertaste: sweet and tart
Liquor: deep dark red
We stopped in Wegman's grocery store on our quest for just born jellybeans (couldn't find them, ended up buying a case online). While there we went to the tea isle and these were on sale! 6.99 a piece. MilitiaJim (reasonably) limited me to only one. Since I had already tried one of them, and had a sample of one other I went for this one.
And apparently I missed my mouth and am wearing some, on my white shirt, I do not think these spots are going to come out.
Post-Steep Additives: none
Today we have made; 1 travel mug w/2 bags, 2 mugs w/2 bags each, 1 large pitcher w/16 bags+8 cups hot water+some ice
I think this is excellent, Although I enjoy the added flavor (pineapple lychee) more, this might be an excellent additive/mixer tea.
Rating: 3/4 leaves
Leaf system:
1=Bleh! not again if it were free
2=Acceptable, if it were free or there were limited other tea options
3=I might purchase this tea from time to time, or select it while out
4=A staple in our cupboard from now on, I will purchase and keep purchasing
