Not a bad mint mix but not the best. More on the spearmint side than peppermint with some tartness from the rose hips, lemon peel and hibiscus but those don’t add any flavor imo. Leaves my throat a little dry, making for a labored swallow which is always an awkward sensation. Can get stewy with the recommended 4-minute steep time.

I absolutely love hibi-hip (in fact, I’ve come to the conclusion I’m the only person on Steepster that does), but something about it paired with mint just totally turned me off. When I brewed this and had a red cup of mint tea I was just… all full of nope. I think this was the only mint tea I have actively hated. But then again, I don’t think I’ve tried a Bigelow tea yet I’ve liked. * shifty eyes *
Huh, I wonder if they cut back on the hibiscus because this was the slightest tinge red mixed in with that mint yellow-brown.
I enjoy hibiscus. Not crazy for it but I won’t turn it down. You are not alone.
I’m getting a cold and have been drinking a lot of hibiscus lately. Deliciously tangy AND full of the Vitamin C!
