These dried rose hips brew up a really bright, tangy tea that’s surprisingly refreshing for being caffeine-free. I’ve been drinking a cup every afternoon when I need a break from coffee, and the vitamin C kick is a nice bonus. The pods seem well-dried and hold their ruby color nicely.

The dried pods brew up a nice bright red, and the tangy taste is there, but the vitamin C kick feels weak compared to what I expected. It’s fine for a caffeine-free evening cup, just not something I’d crave.
