Delicate and refreshing fruit tea by Twinings. The flavours meld together delightfully, and the colour is a sparkling cranberry red. The elderflower makes itself noticed in the aroma. On drinking there is a pleasant sweetness, informed by fruit flavours and a light acidity. This is a very fine blend of ingredients, which curiously doesn't involve cranberries. The main ingredient is hibiscus, which makes a popular herbal tea in the Middle East and West Indies - that would provide both the colour and the tartness and cranberry flavour; the next ingredient is dried apple, which would provide the balancing sweetness; then rose hips, which also make a pleasant tea by themselves. There is a pleasant base note of licorice, which lingers after the higher fruit notes have evaporated, and this is provided by a small amount of licorice root.
