Easily my favorite tea (well, tisane) by Bigelow so far! I'm a fan of lemon, hibiscus, and rosehips, so I was looking forward to trying this one and was not disappointed--at least, for the first cup. The second cup was WAY weaker, even after a long steeping.

The first cup was a very balanced and perky fusion of the lemon and the hibiscus. It brewed up a slightly cloudy pink. The second cup, however, was a thin but darkish yellow, and it barely tasted like flavored water. For this reason, I'd very much like to try a "whole leaf" version of the same ingredients.

Because the two cups were so different, I divided up how I did my ratings this time. My aroma and flavor ratings above are based on the first cup, whereas the value and overall ratings are based on both. I would have rated both higher if the second cup hadn't dropped off so much in quality.
