Opinion:   Taylors of Harrogate was founded in 1886 - By Appointment to HRH The Prince of Wales.  "A sweet infusion of natural fruits and flowers" I watched with delight as it steeped to this lovely hue!  As tempting as the name might lead you to think, due to the hibiscus, you can't add milk or cream for it will curdle.  It was delightfully raspberry fruity, not that tart as sometimes occurs when there is hibiscus.  I did add a little bit of honey, but it really didn't need it.  I can't wait to try it iced!
Rating:  4.75
