Lemon - AID from 52teas

Lemon - AID

Herbal Tea by 52teas

A blend of lemon myrtle, lemon balm, lemongrass, lemon verbena, lemon peel and some sun-dried lemon slices along with natural lemon flavors–which I felt was bold and awesome enough that perhaps some folks would like to make a tea out of, or perhaps add in with whatever teas they are steeping for a little extra lemon zing.

Somehow this tisane isn’t weak at all, but strong, fragrant and uber citrus-y! I love anything lemon, unless it’s that Pledge/artificial lemon. (I don’t mind smelling that, but don’t want to consume it.) This tastes like I’ve added a squeeze of fresh lemon to an already energizing tisane. I definitely want to try this with other teas/tisanes – perhaps add mint, or strawberry. Yum!

Bought this for my pregnant friend, but I want to experiment a bit first. Was totally expecting not having much to say other than “Yep. Lemony. Tart.” since this is a tisane of just lemony things, but I was pleasantly surprised. There’s a honey sweetness in both the aroma and the flavor and the mouth feel is even thick. Wouldn’t drink this plain, but would definitely be good mixed w/ a true tea, used for lemon aid, or to make a lemony matcha.

Remember when I said that I thought this tisane would be GREAT for flavoring matcha? I was right. 1tsp of matcha whisked into 8oz of the tisane. The lemon is evident, but doesn’t over power the matcha. There’s no typical lemony “bite” so a bit of ginger would do this good. Without it, it’s more of a lemon hard candy flavor. I don’t drink tisanes by themselves… BUT I do love flavoring my matcha with tisanes (so I don’t add more caffeine). So I’m gonna take this one and buy another pouch for my friend… UGHFRANK! =D

I LOVE THIS STUFF! I had been holding on to my pouch because I figured … oh… it’s lemonade. Big whoop. Boring!

Not!

Over the course of the last four or five days, I have been sipping this iced every evening. It is incredibly refreshing and better than lemonade in my opinion. It is sweet, soothing (I am sipping it hot right now, because I have a touch of a sore throat that I am hoping will not develop into anything more serious. I am just glad it hasn’t yet affected my taste buds). It is delicious hot, but even better iced. Nice with honey!

Lovely, well balanced, smooth. I can’t wait to try adding this to other teas and see what I come up with.

My twin in all things including tea KeenTeaThyme (KiTT) sent me a sample of this that I am just now trying. (I have a lot of samples to try – so much tea, so little time! This really lemon flavored but not in a bad way at all. More in a "man I could gulp this down in a heartbeat kinda way! I had it iced very refreshing. I need that today as it seems everyone here at work is literally working my last nerve!

My boy and I are relaxing after some intense yoga with a nice glass of iced Lemon Aid. This is better than lemonade and better for you. No sugar necessary. Smooth, bold, naturally sweet, herby, lemony goodness. Since it’s not a permanent I might just have to order some herbs and try to make some myself.

If something has lemon in it, I will give it a try. This stuff rocks. I drink it straight hot or cold. It has a nice balanced flavor that is naturally sweet. I tried adding honey once, but found it was unnecessary. It might work well mixed with another tea to add a bright accent.

I love lemon beverages — really any sweet lemon desserts — and this tea definitely brings you a huge punch of lemon flavor. It would be a great tea to take if you’re sick. Just sweeten with some honey and you’re good to go. Like some other reviews have mentioned, it’s good straight, but because it’s such an essential flavor, it would go great in a blend with any other type of tea where you want to bring that zing.
