I went for lemony iced tea tonight and mixed a bag of Stash’s Meyer Lemon Herbal Tea with a bag of Twinings Irish Breakfast. The result after sugar and ice was very refreshing. The lemon remained strong against the sharpness of the black tea. It was almost like lemonade.

I’ve mixed Twinings IB w/ 52teas’ Lemon-AID. It really does blend with lemon wonderfully.

@Cofftea Wow, I thought this was a sort of unique concoction. I agree, it takes to lemon beautifully.

Black tea + lemon is anything but unique.

Bio

Quiet, strange, and in love with the world of tea. 20-something and living just outside of Atlanta. Cat lover, EBM/industrial geek, balcony gardener, and collector of fossils. On the hunt for the perfect tea in each of my favorite categories.

I prefer black and fruit teas, but I’m trying to broaden my horizons. My favorites tend to be yunnan tips, earl grey, golden monkey, chai, and darjeeling. My favorite add-ons are plum, cinnamon, coconut, apple, raspberry, bergamot, cucumber, sage, vanilla, and caramel.

I’m shy about green tea, curious about white, and learning to love oolong. I hate rooibos and anything with orchid, fennel, or jasmine.

I’m currently trying to grow my own tea. I have a 2-year-old potted Camellia sinensis, and I plan on picking a tiny bit of new growth this spring for my first try at drying my own leaves.

I have a habit of shopping at Asian grocery stores, so I end up pioneering a lot of teas that are new to Steepster.

I’m always down for a trade, so feel free to browse my cupboard and note me!
