It’s very strong hibiscus flavor which tends to lean sour/tart and a little bit of sugar to take the edge off. IMO its really good if you like hibiscus.
It’s tart, fruity, and earthy, like fresh berries. The sweetness and tart is based on how much sugar is used to make the jamaica (ha-my-kah). It’s often served cold or with ice.
3rd best Mexican drink after agua fresca and horchatta. It’s very much worth trying if you find the opportunity.
They are, yes, but they’re special. I think most other agua frescas are mostly different fruits blended with water and sugar, but these two are special enough to stand apart from the rest
So is it sweat or sour or what is the taste?

Arent Jamaica and horchata agua frescas? What is agua fresca singular?

I agree! Horchata is my absolute favourite from Mexico, I make it pretty often. Agua fresca is also versatile and balanced
The hibiscus gives it a sour taste. With the amount of sugar I used, it turned out about as sweet as sour, but very intense in total
If it has too much hibiscus AND too much sugar. Did you consider adding more water?
Yeah, I reduced both sugar and hibiscus for next time, effectively increasing the water content
