    Just okay

    One dimensional tasting. Can’t tell there’s anything besides hibiscus.

    Hi Beatrice! Thanks for giving our Scarlet a try. We recognize that tea is such a personal journey, and are sorry the hibiscus came across stronger than the other botanicals in the blend. Our Customer Service Team would be happy to suggest brewing adjustments that might help bring out more of the subtle notes.
