Beautiful, sparkly ruby red cup full of fruity flavors. I tasted mostly cherry and a little strawberry. The hibiscus is elbowing its way in with a good amount of tartness (and that gorgeous coloring). A touch of lemon shines through. Tasty and tangy hot.
Better with a little honey due to the tartness. I mostly taste strawberry and hibiscus. I swore there was cranberry but it’s not an ingredient.
I had this tea iced, and while it is pretty good, it also isn't my favorite hibiscus based tea.
I steeped at 186 for 5 minutes and didn’t add a sweetener. I thought it was flavorful and restful to sip.
2 Jul 2020 review: I had a bad feeling from the start when all I smelled was rose and hibiscus in the bag. I drank the whole mug, but all I tasted was rose and hibiscus overpowering everything else. The remaining tastes were sour without any fruity aromas or flavors. I don’t care for drinks that are too sweet because it makes them syrupy, but I tried adding a whole teaspoon of sugar to the cup as a test and all I got was a cloyingly sweet floral syrup. I’m sorry to say that this herbal was unpleasantly too tart, sour and floral from start to finish. (10 mins @ 212F).
I cold brewed this, I've found that hibiscus as an ingredient in pretty much any hot teas is way too tart for me. This was refreshing as a chilled tea
Sipping along with the CommuniTEA today: Nice mixture of fruit scents with stand out of cherry notes from the dry ingredients and packet. Once steeped for 5 mins at 212°F, I noticed lots of hibiscus with cherry fragrance. When I take a sip, I mainly notice strawberry with a little cherry and strong tangy hibiscus.
This fruity blend is great iced, and is very refreshing on a hot day.
This one is a little light on the fruit flavors for my herbal loving taste. But I AM a member of Team Tart, so I do like my blends to go KAPOW. If you like a less intense fruity cup, this is probably the mix for you! I think the hibiscus and cherry flavor came through most prominently. I got just a touch of lemongrass and would have loved even more. The brew is a beautiful light ruby, so it will look very pretty in your mug or iced at a summer luncheon. This is an easy drinking cup you can indulge in all day. Happy Sipping!
I'm usually a mostly hot tea fan, but I find I like this one better iced. Tart, fruity and refreshing!
Like this fruity blend. Thinned it down with a little extra water and made some fabulous iced tea. The tartness makes it refreshing in the Florida summer heat.
I found that the rose in this distracted me from the other flavors.
It’s good. I cold-brewed it, and it tasted like fruit punch. A little wild, but nice.
This one can get a little tart, it’s nice cold brewed with a bit of sugar.
Many fruits are tart
Wake up the senses flavor,
This tea captures them!
Highly sippable
Hibiscus is tasting good??
It’s growing on me!
Not like a fungus,
It’s a GOOD growing on me!
Fruity-licious tea!
(Haiku review)
This tea has a lovely scent out of the package, like cherry marzipan. It's quite tart and needs some type of sweetner to make it enjoyable for me.
Great tea!
Delicious sample of fruity goodness in this CommuniTea packet! Great over ice!
A fruit medley made into a tea! Yes! Nice selection of rosehips, hibiscus, and of cherry. It can be tart, but good regardless. Can even be iced for a summer cooler! It sings my song!.
Very refreshing chilled! I love the balance of flavors. I do use more like 3t of tea in 16 oz of water
Delicious! Makes a great 'Iced' tea. I combined this with 'Berry Blues! WOW!
I tried brewing this for 5 and 10 minutes (as it recommends between 5-10 to brew) and it’s honestly nowhere near as potent as I expected it to be. A little disappointing, I was really hoping for a nice, fruity, snd flavorful tea.
It had strong hints of Pomegranate Grove without the pomegranate grove. Like it was a delicious backup tea if I wanted fruity tea.
absolutely a great flavorful blend of summer time fruits
This tea is good hot or cold I usually drink it hot and then put the leftover in the refrigerator for the next day so good
This is really good. I like mixing it with green or white tea.
I would not say it had some exceptional taste, but it did deliver everything you'd expect from a fruit tea - crispy tartness, the perfect amount of sourness and a hint of sweetness. All in all,
I would recommend this tea to any fruit tea lover out there.
My kids LOVE this tea. They like it hot or iced.
Great tasting tea would purchase again. I highly recommend this tea for your enjoyment.
Hibiscus flavor kind of overwhelms the fruit flavor, but this is one of the better fruit herbal teas.
By the name i expected more of a balanced taste among the fruits represented. Instead it was very heavy on the hibiscus. A juicy apple flavor is also prominent with the other fruits being underwhelming.
Its still a good quality tea, tart and slightly sweet.
Love the variety of flavor that this tea brings to the table. Not too heavy of a flavor, and perfect for relaxing with a hot cup (although my husband prefers this iced!)
it was alright but wouldnt have it again.needs more
My favorite fruity tea. It's like a glass of juice from a mystery fruit. I tend to brew it extremely strong and then add more sugar than I probably should. It's also excellent as a cold brew and mixed with a splash of ginger ale.
Drink this cold when you want to drink juice or something sugary but you don t want to consume the huge amounts of sugar that come with that. Very juicy, great for when you don t know what fruit tea to buy.
A fruity flavor, but it didn't bring anything new to the table for me. It's not quite strong enough for my iced tea flavors. I prefer the pina colada or the TAZO passion (I tend to like really bold tart fruity teas)
I love the smell and sweet taste of the strawberries and cherries in this tisane. I will admit the rose hips and hibiscus are a strong flavor too, but If you like a sweet-tart balanced tea this is for you. I especially like to add a few drops of lemon and 1/4 tsp of sweetener (Splenda).
okay, fruit melody is really good for iced tea, one off my favs
Not bad. I like it, but don't love it. Seems light even after adding another tea bag.
This is a tart but sweet mix that is pretty heavy on the hibiscus and rose hips that increase the tartness. The lemon grass gives a nice lemony woodiness to it, but I mostly get the strawberry notes. The lemon grass is what makes this fruity herbal different than some of the others, but I was a little disappointed that the orange and cherry notes were very subtle.
I forgot that I was making this tea so it was left to steep for an hour, but it just made it perfect for iced tea. Very fruity. Loved it and will definitely repurchase it!
Fruity and refreshing; there isn't much more I can say about it. I got mostly strawberry notes. I'll be going against the grain and saying I wasn't as bit of a fan of it iced, though. I preferred it warm.
Not a favorite of mine but still a relatively good
I'm giving four stars because overall I enjoy it--it's sweet and fruity and pleasant, and a nice deep red color--but it has a very strong cherry flavor that overwhelms the others. If this had been advertised as a cherry tea instead of a medley I'd give it five.
This tea has mainly Hibiscus flavor, with an undertone of strawberry. Sweet, sour and good.
Very berry. Good tea. I will say that I got a lot of the teas in the herbal tea section to try them. For some reason (maybe I just had to add more tea per oz) but did not strike me. They were very gentle, and thats great, my family loved it. But not striking enough for me. I then discovered rooibos teas (by Adagio) and I was set!
Fruit explosion! There isn't much more to this tea than fruit, but if you want one that'll hit you right between the eyes with fruit fruit fruit, this is the one.
Oh, this one is disconcerting. The smell when steeped is overwhelmingly of cherry cough syrup, which I found very off-putting. When I gamely attempted to drink it anyway I was pleasantly surprised to find that the aroma didn't carry through to the taste, but it was -- overwhelmingly like drinking hot fruit punch? Which is not quite the tea experience I enjoy having. I tried icing it, which was fine -- it may have made it tolerable with lemonade or something if I'd had any, but it's the dead of winter. Cold fruit punch. I took a few more sips and threw the rest out. Will be pawning the rest of this one off on my friends. Probably someone will love it but that person ain't me.
Its very fruity as you can imagine. I prefer it hot. Its fun to blend with other teas. Vanilla roobios is a great one to blend with it; plain green, black, or rooibos are good too.
Good tea, bought this for the grandmother and she loved it.
