Uh, OK. Then I tried it iced with just a little bit of sugar. Ah ha! There you go. Definitely tropical fruity, a perfect ice tea flavor. Pretty apricot color, too. Pretty good for you also - supposedly the hibiscus flower can help maintain healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels, strengthen the immune system, and combat those cell-damaging free radicals.
