Steeped 3 min. Tastes very bitter. Very faint almond and cherry flavors, but the bitterness over-powers it. Could maybe improve with less steeping time, but not good enough to try it again. Tried 10.2018

Smells nice and chocolate-y. Tastes pleasant but very dilute and almost flavorless. There attempts at chocolate flavors, but it doesn’t quite get there. Steeped for the whole 5 minutes to try and enhance the flavor – no change noted. Drinkable, but tastes like drinking hot water. Tried 10.2018

drank Blood Orange by Adagio Teas

Has a barely citrus flavor. Tea steeped light pink, very thin color. Drinkable, but mostly tastes like warm orange-y water. Didn’t want to steep very long initially d/t other fruit teas becoming bitter – steeped 3 minutes.

Tried again and steeped tea 5 minutes. Tea smells like orange medicine. Taste is a stronger citrus flavor, good and drinkable. Tried 10.2018

Flavors: Citrusy

Preparation

Very bitter after 3 min (lower end of brew time). Tried again after steeping 1 min – still very bitter. High caffeine content. Online tips: better in blends vs. on its own. Tried 09.2018

Flavors: Berry, Bitter

Drinkable, but not necessarily enjoyable. Tastes like unsweetened berry water. Not sweet, but not bitter. Does not induce any puckering. Might be better with citrus, or a sweetener? Would require a LOT of sweetener. Soaked 2 sachets in a pitcher for 12 hours. Tried 09.2018

Flavors: Berry, Tangy
