in search of a perfect tea

The tea I am trying to recreate was sweet without any added sugar, it was a rich red-ish brown (could mean it had hibiscus), had a strong orange flavor (added citrus oils?), and was herbal...so no actual tea leaves.

Licorice root (does NOT taste like anise/licorice) is a great sweetener without being sugary. And is found in a lot of herbal teas.

Hibiscus will create a vivid purple red tea. It's a really brilliant color.

The only time I drink mint tea is for stomach upsets and stress. Works a treat.

I recently found out that mint tea is NOT good for acid reflux, as it relaxes the esophageal sphincter; so it can actually exacerbate the problem

I use mint teas for sinus issues. I use ginger based teas for tummy stuff.
