It’s no joke, but it'll have you laughing. When the craving for a red wine comes on strong but it's all bottles are empty, Faux Merlot Black Tea is your best solution. It has the deep richness of black tea with all of those bright berry notes—along with hints of hibiscus and strawberry to give an edge to this otherwise sweet drink traditionally served cold.
Ingredients: Hunan Black Tea, Hibiscus, Cornflowers, Marigolds, Guava, Strawberry, Pineapple flavorings.

Without even opening the pouch, the fruity aromas just hit me! I open and I am not sure if it’s merlot, but definitely hibiscus & strawberry come to mind. Aroma is one thing and flavour is another so after inspecting the colour of the infused liquor, I smell & sip. Taste is not harsh at all unlike other blended or aroma infused teas! I bought this to gift to some people who likes strong blended teas, but I think I might keep some for my hubby. Could be even a nice tea to share with tea geeks I know.
