Ingredients: Hibiscus, Rosehip, Lemon Peels, Lemongrass, Cinnamon Pieces, Apple Pieces, Natural Passion Fruit & Peach Flavours

Review: The colour is dark red, like berry tea, but the scent is all fake peach.  It's overpowering, too, so much so that you can smell it a foot away.  For all that, the flavour is fairly weak.  It's a bit sweet, like generic berry tea (we taste no peach or passion fruit).  It's not horrible.  That's all.

It's like the early days of herbal tea, when everything was really watered down and it all tasted the same.  Except it leaves a funny...after-feeling in your mouth, like you've just eaten a lemon; it's acidic and tacky.  It lingers and leaves you thirsty - so you drink more - but it just perpetuates the problem.  It's not the most offensive of the English Tea Shop range, but it's certainly nothing special.  We think it would turn off prospective tea drinkers.

Best time of year to drink this: English Tea Shop suggests drinking this at Christmastime.

Best time of day to drink this: We think never, but perhaps in the afternoon, if you like drinking mildly flavoured hot water after lunch.
