Quick Overview
Anyone for tennis? Classic British summer flavours.
Product Description
A unique house fruit infusion that is a twist on that British summer classic. Ideal for serving hot or prepared over ice.
Dried strawberries with hibiscus, rosehip, dried yoghurt pieces and natural strawberry & vanilla flavouring.
Naturally sweet, fruity and tangy. Add sugar to taste (some would say making it even better!)

I was dubious at first because when I smelt the dry mix there was a strong smell of off milk laid over the fruity scent, but that vanishes completely when steeped.
This is nice. Extremely fruity and quite tart, but there’s a vanillary taste that stops the tart from becoming sour. Very drinkable. I haven’t tried sugar in it yet, I’ll try that next, and I think this will taste really good iced (I’ll update when I try that.)
Too much hibiscus. I accidentally spelled it ‘hibisuc’ just now and tbh I think that’s a more accurate name for it. Sour, metallic, and no redeeming qualities besides a pretty coloured cup of tea. I tried to latte a tea I didn’t realise had hibisuc in recently and it made some sort of stringy cheese curd at the bottom of my mug. Wtf is that all about?! It took me a while, but I’m officially aboard the hating hibiscus bandwagon.
Anyway. I added maple syrup to the last of this to cancel out the hibisuc (I might be spelling it like that for a while) and it’s fine, but for some reason it tastes like stewed rhubarb rather than strawberries and cream. This is a sipdown I’m totally okay with.

“Vanillary”? :)
I didn’t make the word up: http://www.lush.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=734&category_id=581&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1

When you actually say vanillary out loud is sounds like a cross between Vanilla and Celery.
::must not dip celery in vanilla extract to see what it’s like, must not dip celery in vanilla extract to see what it’s like::
Don’t worry I wasn’t going to try celery and vanilla. I am sure vanillary sounds better with a heavy English accent but doesn’t sound so dignigified with my little southern (Texas) drawl. :P
::giggles:: Well my English accent is North York Moors, so it’s kinda slow and a little undignified.
