Following the directions in Tea Sampling Method, the tea is brewed using the label information. The resulting tea is a much darker red than I had expected.
The flavor is very different from other teas. I do not think it is very good hot. However, when it is room temp, the flavor is much better.
Other notes:
Based on the Hibiscus tea - Wikipedia article, it appears Hibiscus tea has a number of studies showing that it reduces blood pressure. Also, it is possible that it has a number of other positive health effects.
