Day 4 - DavidsTea Advent calendar

Day 4's tea is Serenity Now

Today is another herbal tea, one which I haven't tried before. Normally, I don't like hibiscus in my teas because it's so strong and tart, and I also don't like rosehips because of the smell/taste. Luckily for this tea, the hibiscus isn't overpowering...I think because of the spearmint and lavender. The lavender though...not my favourite flavour either (anything that has a flowery scent does not translate well to my taste buds).


From the website:

Zen and sensibility

So maybe you burned dinner. Maybe the dishwasher broke. Again. Maybe you just forgot to hit “save.” Life is full of stressful surprises. But lucky for us, life is also full of tea. And this oh-so-soothing blend is a guaranteed one-way ticket to your happy place. It’s got serene strawberries, harmonious hibiscus and restful rosehips, all in a base of low-key lavender. So get that kettle started and brace yourself for the rush of calm. Bring it on, life. We got this.
Best served: Hot Tea / Iced Tea

Ingredients

Organic: Currants, rosehips, apple, lavender, spearmint, hibiscus


Overall Impression: The flavour is *interesting* but it seems like a bunch of different ingredients are competing with each other to be tasted first. The more I sip it, the weirder it gets. I definitely won't be buying this one for the tea cupboard.
