Preparing and tasting the flower blend
The ingredient list is the useful starting point for understanding this blend: it combines several flowers with fruit and sugar. The word tea here describes the drink rather than identifying a particular style of processed tea leaf. This is a different experience from comparing green, black and oolong teas, where the tea leaf itself supplies the central flavour. With a mixed flower infusion, try noticing the balance between fragrance, fruit and sweetness instead.
For a first tasting, use the serving size and boiling-water method given above, but measure the water you add. A large mug and a small tasting cup will produce very different concentrations from the same bag. Record that volume alongside the steeping time so that a cup you enjoy can be repeated. Taste a little of the infusion before deciding whether to leave the ingredients in longer. If the result is too concentrated, add hot water to the strained drink rather than automatically adding more sweetener.
Sugar already appears in the ingredient list above, so taste the first cup plain. Pour some into a white cup to examine the colour, then smell and sip it as it cools to a comfortable temperature. Consider which element leads: the floral aroma, the fruit character or the sweetness. A second infusion provides a useful comparison, although its balance may differ from the first. Use a spacious infuser or strain the drink into a separate cup so that flower fragments do not interfere with tasting. These are practical tasting suggestions, rather than a fixed recipe for every flower blend.
