A sound heard as "le", instead of "une" tisane - confused with prononciation

Hello kwiziq team, I have a short question as follows: am sure I hear the voice saying "je bois le bon tisane devant...", instead of what the text says: "je bois une bonne tisane devant..." - Could you please let me know, if this is because of me simply not getting the right sound? The word tisane should be (f) - Thanks for coming back!

This question relates to:French dictation exercise "My favourite drinks"

Dictation exercise A1

Hi Maria, 

Having listened to the recording I can confirm that the male voice says -

Je bois une bonne tisane devant la télé

I had the same problem. I definitely heard "le", not "une". I am sure I am just not hearing it, but recognize that it is not very clear for learners.
