This tea is from my accidental Sips By box. The main ingredient here is sideritis/Greek mountain tea. I tried sideritis for the first time through the last traveling tea box, and I thought it was okay, but a bit too savory for me. It definitely tastes better combined with other ingredients like it is here. The main flavors are the sideritis and cardamom. I crushed a pod before putting it in my infuser to make sure I got the full flavors. I detect almost no hibiscus, but there was very little in the whole package, so I suppose that’s not surprising. I just would have expected more based on the name. Anyway, this tea tasted perfectly fine for what it is. It’s just not the sort of thing I’d personally want again. And for once Sips By provided a decently large amount, amusingly.
This is You :-D

Bio
I’m an event planner who always has multiple mugs of tea beside me. Hobbies other than tea include board games, video games, cooking international dishes, science fiction, hiking, jigsaw puzzles, tap dancing, reading, listening to podcasts, and playing with my troublesome kitties.
Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, nutty, melon, mint, strawberry, anything rooibos-related.
Don’t prefer: Smoky, rosemary, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender), plain tea.
I always drink flavored tea, and preferably caffeine-free or black. I’ll try just about anything though! Let me know if you’re interested in a swap!
My ratings are kind of meaningless, but basically
90-100 pretty perfect
80-89 really good
70-79 good, but not the best
60-69 okay, but probably not for me
1-59 varying degrees of dislike

Isn’t that always how it goes? Extra tea… but only when it’s one you don’t care for.
Exactly!
