Steeped this one up yesterday but it just tasted incredibly off. Very acrid and sour orange notes mixed with smoke that just felt really cacophonous and so distant from what I remember it normally tasting like.

another sample from my dear friend kittylovestea

a decent tea :D

when i smell the tea dry, it smells like cinnamon, berries and spices.

when i smell the leaves wet, the smell is intensified.

when i smell the brewed tea, again it has cinnimon, berries and spices.

when i taste the brewed tea, it tastes like all the above plus all the ingredients.

the color of the brewed tea is a blood red. maybe a nice touch for Halloween not Easter.

i rate this a 75 because it is a decent tea, but i am not much for blends.

many thanks!

I’ve never had an actual hot cross bun, but if they taste like orange cranberry rolls with a good amount of cinnamon, then this blends nails it. Doesn’t taste like a Rooibos, and if I didn’t know from the ingredients that it contains hibiscus I think that one would have slipped right by me, although it is a tart tea. Instead I get a bready citrus aroma. I can taste the cinnamon baked good flavor at the front of the sip, followed by orange and cranberry. I don’t sweeten my teas, but this one makes me want to try the next cup with a bit of honey.

Love this tea!!! It tastes just like a hot cross bun…. except I usually take my hot cross buns with butter, strawberry jam and cream and I miss them desperately since moving to the States!! :)
