Caffeine Factor: Caffeine-free Organic Ingredients: Unknown Price Range: £1.69 Bags Per Box: 20Review: Twinings clearly decided to make one blend of tea and change the flavouring each time to claim it's something new. This is really just your typical hibiscus, apple and rosehip tea, which is the foundation of pretty much all mainstream fruit teas on the market. We're surprised it doesn't include sweet blackberry leaves, like the others do. Strangely, liquorice has been added, for reasons we can't work out. Perhaps it's to take the edge off the tartness of the hibiscus? But there is so little of it in the blend that you can't taste it or tell what effect it has - just as you can't taste the elderflowers.
The flavouring makes it smell very fake, despite them calling it natural. It is extremely floral, in an unappealing way. The taste is largely hibiscus and rose, but mildly so. It's quite watery, even if you brew it for a long time. We couldn't taste any cranberry or raspberry at all. It is very bland and, in our opinion, not worth the money. There are much better fruit teas out there.Best time of year to drink this: Summer
