I’m getting more ginger than lemon. Which isn’t bad; it’s nearly the flavor equivalent of Bigelow’s Ginger Snappish holiday tea. And now I need a cookie to go with it…

I think this is the last abused and neglected bag of this one in my work stash. Rereading the ingredient list, I wonder why barley and carob were used in the mix—-it does give it a cracker-y, pastry-ish personality instead of straight-up citrus and spice. Not very lemony; could be because of age of the bag, but I see similar comments in my previous notes.

A nice ginger cookie sort of balance to it is all I can taste tonight; fighting a wicked sinus thing that has robbed me of my senzus of sbell and taste. Mwugggggh.

This was an impulse buy at TJ Maxx, I always need more herbal teas.

I actually made this for MilitiaJim and stole sips.

I can not taste the rooibos at all, and the ginger is a mere hint.

MilitiaJim noticed it was not a real lemon, it was more lemon grass than lemon.

Post-Steep Additives: pinch German rock sugar
A bit more lemonade like

Well, we’re not tossing it but we’re certainly never buying it again. If anyone wants some let me know and I’ll send it your way.
