Hi,



has anyone heard of a kind od red tea called carcidia (the spelling may be wrong!) Its a sweet tasting one, but i've had alot of trouble finding it, and the name may not be right either....its a south american name i think, but the tea could be from elsewhere. Thanks, Rhys


torlesse put his brain into words:

Do you Carcade, which is not a tea at all, but an red african infusion of hibiscus flowers? Drunk alone, it is very acid, and most people add at least sugar. I recently discovered that Carcarde may also give good results when mixed with African black tea.

Hey, thanks for your help with this. I'm still trying to find out which red tea I had at a south american outlet one time - it was a sweetish red tea, but sugar was added to it i think. I was told it was pronounced carcidia, so carcade could still be the one. Do you have any suggestions for a swet red tea at all? Tar, Rhys
