How I brewed it

Freshly boiled for 5 mins as instructed.

So I'm over at my friends' house and they always have some sort of flavoured teas, this time I'm trying Sainsbury's "Taste the Difference" Night Time Berry Infusion tea. I wonder if they were being a bit facetious with that branding - like "bet they can't taste the difference lol."

It's pretty mediocre. You get a slight hint of honey-like sweetness from the camomile, some tart from the hibiscus and berries. There's a subtle spicy aftertaste, but only if you're specifically tasting for it.

The tea has a deep reddish-brown color that looks promising in the cup, but the taste doesn't match up. You can't do a second infusion either, so one cup and done.

On the plus side, everything's recyclable and the bags are biodegradable. The packaging is quite nice with its purple/yellow floral design.

I mean for £2.45 you get 20 bags, it's fine if you just want something gentle for night-time, nothing great or special about it.
