French Lemon Ginger

Art of Tea sample 1/24

What a refreshing citrus aroma coming from the brewing tea! I chose this because of it’s fresh citrus scent and the fact that it had ginger in it. I love the mixture of the lemongrass and verbena, it is very pleasant. I almost don’t want to drink this tea, it smells so good I am enjoying just sniffing, I don’t want the nose pleasure to be over!

The taste is very smooth, lemon but not in your face mouth cringing lemon, just a smooth lemongrass taste with a faint ginger sweet tingle. This was a good morning cup after a night spent with family and flowing wine.

Thank you Jaime for the wonderful package of samples. I’m having fun sniffing each one and drinking them!

I received this as a free sample when I placed an order with Art of Tea – their samples are quite generous!

This is really very tasty. The lemon is the most prominent, but it isn’t a super-tart, pucker-ish lemon, it’s smooth and juicy. The ginger seems to soften the tartness a bit, and adds just a little peppery pick-up to the cup. It’s not overwhelmingly ginger, it’s not too sour… it’s just very refreshing!

I like it!

I never know what to expect with Ginger anymore. USUALLY it’s too fierce in tea for me…but I will say this one is darned good! It’s a smooth taste. There is just a bit more lemon than ginger and they are in perfect harmony! There is the slightest bit of Honeybush in the actual blend but would suggest any more! This is the perfect amount of that, too! This one blew my doors off! I was totally surprised by this and think it’s just darling!

This is a very interesting tea. Steeping, the scent was VERY strong.. and I was worried that it might end up a little too strong for me. The flavor tastes like something familiar, but I can’t figure out what it reminds me of! The classic lemon flavor comes through at the tail end of the sip for me. Its finish is something almost like lemonade. The majority of the sip, though, is something that I can’t put my finger on. Maybe it’s the ginger or other dimensions of the lemon? Either way, this is a very strong cup of tea that is both refreshing and invigorating.

Picked this up along with my Original Vanilla Custard Beard Papa’s. Great for walking around on chilly nights in LA! Not too strong in either lemon or ginger, just the right balance. And the sweetness from the honeybush rounds it all out. Good one!
