Purchased this sample to help find a tea to fill my nightly no caffeine niche.

Where are you hiding my kiwi? I can't find it. And I am not sure why there are rosehips in there, and not sure I could find them, but I wonder if there would be less weird 'other' in this tea without them.

I was happy to drink the whole pot, but it was straightforward strawberry so not interesting enough for me to purchase more of.
