While I love the aroma of this tea, it is so sour as to be completely undrinkable. I have found a way to remedy this by running cold water over the teabag for about 15 seconds before brewing it. This leaves most of the aroma intact but removes most of the sourness. The resulting tea is very enjoyable.

I'm rating the tea as-is. Rating the tea after this alteration, I would give it a 5/4/4/4 = 57/100.

I notice they add citric acid to this tea, as well as making hibiscus (which leads to sour) the first ingredient. I think it would be enough to just add the hibiscus, and possibly move it down the ingredient list. This is a seriously unbalanced tea. I find teas this sour leave an unpleasant taste in my mouth and unsettle my stomach. Drinking it after altering it to remove most of the acidity, however, I find this tea is pleasing and leaves me with a nice feeling.

So acidic. Great color and decent aroma - but I hate drinking it.
