Note: Hibiscus has diuretic properties which means that it helps to increase your urine production. Black tea is also a mild natural diuretic due to its caffeine content, which encourages the kidneys to excrete more sodium and water, increasing urination, but it also contributes to fluid intake, so moderate consumption generally still hydrates you rather than dehydrating you. While strong brews or high intake might have a more noticeable effect, studies show moderate black tea consumption is as hydrating as water because it's mostly water, with its diuretic properties being mild and offset by its liquid content. Compared to coffee or energy drinks, tea's diuretic action is much gentler.

Zinger Teas: "Herbal teas have always been treasured for their soothing properties. But Celestial has never been content to sit and sip (even in the very early days), so we quickly decided that the world needed an herbal blend with real “zing.” Enter Red Zinger® Herbal Tea in 1972. This lively blend combined hibiscus, orange peel, lemongrass and wild cherry bark (yes, bark) to create something totally different. It was a big hit – and today, there’s a whole family of Zinger teas for you to enjoy. Every Zinger tea starts with a tart and tangy, slightly sweet flavor from their primary ingredient: hibiscus. We then blend other vibrant herbs, spices and botanicals to give each Zinger its own unique take on hibiscus tea. They’re each splendid served warm and refreshing and invigorating over ice."
- from Celestial Seasonings
- hibiscus has a distinctly tart, tangy, and slightly sour flavor, often compared to cranberries, pomegranate, or citrus. It is naturally unsweetened and offers a vibrant, sharp, and refreshing taste, commonly balanced in teas and beverages with sweeteners like honey or sugar, or paired with fruits.

Benner Tea Co. Tea Party Herbal Tea Collection (sold at Aldi's for Easter)

Benner Tea Co. Tea Party Herbal Tea Collection

After being disappointed by the Aldi tea Advent calendar last holiday season, we weren’t sure if this spring tea party collection would be any good. While it’s not gourmet tea by any means, it exceeded our expectations. We like all of the flavors except the lemon macaron. If you’re an herbal tea drinker, or if you just like the cute packaging, this is a nice boxed set.

Benner Tea Co. Tea Advent Calendar (sold at Aldi's)

Overall review by one website: "Most of these are flavored black teas or flavored green teas and contain caffeine. Only two teas in the calendar are caffeine free. That aside, the calendar contains an interesting mix of flavors and is an intriguing buy for tea lovers this Christmas season. The flavors are okay so far, although not necessarily as strong or as good as some other teas we’ve had. . . [The next year] We still see a lot of various “flavors” in the tea ingredients, such as “vanilla flavor” or “ginger flavor” rather than those actual ingredients. We feel like a lot of last year’s teas, which featured similar ingredients lists, were weak-tasting, so we decided to pass on getting the calendar again this year."
