Lemon Myrtle (organic)

Supa Lemon! Dang I feel like this tisane could be a superhero, it’s that vibrant in flavour. Whew.
I went with a four/five minute steep but based on the sip I took at 90 seconds, a two minute steep would have been fabulous. Sparkling! Whereas my cup was too strong and full on lemon. Drinkable but not something I’d buy again. I’d leave it around 68 with a potential for much higher!
So I think I’ll save my rating for next time.
Also, thank the time maker that weekend is over. I thought the torture would go on forever. (so many odd social moments went on… I wouldn’t know where to begin! though for the most part it was pleasant, I’m just being dramatic haha. It was really just Saturday that I’d rather forget ever happened)

I was in a lemon mood tonight….and I have had this for awhile and had not tried it yet. So here goes….
Wowzers, that is lemon. It tastes pretty good, sweeter than I was expecting.
I found this very refreshing and palate cleansing.
Next to try this Cold brewed, I think it would be even more refreshing cold with maybe a little mint!

Just a quick note as I only had a few sips from the beau’s cup last night – This is a pleasant lemon tea, not too bitter or sharp but distinctly lemon-esque. The beau opted to add local honey to soothe his throat, but I found it too strong for the lemon mytrle, and it overpowered it. I really liked this (I’m a fan of lemon teas, but selective) and would like to keep some on hand constantly to drink on it’s own and also to add to teas that need a bit more lemon kick! Very nice, especially in winter with cold season.

I love lemon teas especially in the evening. I don’t know why, but I often crave lemon teas after dinner. The lemon teas I’ve had in the past have been lemon meringue or lemon pie or lemon tart — something a bit more creamy and less like actual lemon right off the branch. I saw that DavidsTea offered this herbal so I bought it in hopes of drinking something super lemony without the dessert frills.

The smell of this tea is strong lemon, but with something grassy or herbal in the background. It reminds me a little bit of the zoo… the grass, the dung, the animals… I don’t know, but I’m definitely picturing the zoo. It won’t stop me from taking the first sip.. but the image of the elephant house remains in my head.

Sipping… I’m rather surprised to be getting a smooth and sweet lemon flavor. I was expecting it to be more tart, but it seems to be naturally sweet on its own. The finish is very herbal, a bit like dried leaves. There is the smallest bit of the funky zoo flavor at the end. I like that this tea is lemony and sweet, but as it’s similar to (and not as good as) the dessert tea blends I have, I don’t think I’ll buy any more.

I was surprised with this one. In quite a wonderful way.
I was apprehensive when the salesperson brought this one down in the store as I’m not generally a fan of the citrusy teas, but it smelled wonderful. The lemonyness doesn’t stand up and kick you in the face, but instead is slightly earthy. I had this as a tea to go in the store – it took the super hot water and the much longer than usual steep time very very well. I took it with a bit of agave because I knew it would be steeping for so long, but you could easily do without. It tasted a little like lemon lozenges but not so strong. While I don’t think this will become one of my go-to teas, I think I’ll definitely be getting myself a small bag for an early winter morning tea. It would also be great with honey for a cold or sore throat.

I was served this cold as the tea of the day at my local David’s Tea.

This tea has a very prominent bitter edge. Very strong essence of lemon and lemon zest

Smells like lemon Jolly Rancher! which means it can’t go wrong for me :) I had this tea hot, naked and it was pretty delicious. But when it really made me give me this super high rating was. I had a pretty intense meal and was kind of afraid of smelling like food (this is a huge thing for me, btw) aaand i had lemon myrtle + spearmint ICED! OH my GOD! it was so awesome!! I couldn’t get over it. It would be SO perfect as a hot-day-pick-me-up when it was so good iced in Winter. I would definitely recommend this tea for fun mixes :)

This was perfect for my sore throat last night. Added a bit of honey and was able to get a few steeps out of it. Perfect :)

It was a sort of rough day. Tossed and turned all night because of nasty leg pains, woke up with a headache, clocked into work half an hour earlier than I should have, headache turned into a migraine. It wasn’t the kind of migraine that makes me lose vision (thankfully), but I could smell every.single.person I walked by. The guy with a cigar a block away might as well have been blowing smoke in my face. Lunch wasn’t a possibility. What was usually a palatable sandwich was suddenly an assault to my senses.

Migraine is now gone, but I still feel out of sorts. Like a puzzle not quite put together right. I never like this feeling (who would?) but all it will take is a good cup of tea and a sleep with some kitty cuddles.

I feel like this lemon myrtle will set me on the path to being fixed. Yes, this will do just right. The smell alone is doing wonders. Finally, a pleasant scent! I should put a dab of honey in it, not because it needs it, but because lemon and honey are perfect for each other.

I didn’t pay attention to how long I steeped this for. Does it matter? Just get in my mouth already!
(Sorry for any spelling mistakes, my brain is still in that aftermath fuzz mode. let me know and I’ll fix it.)

Bought 10g. of this to try it.

the dry leaves smell like a lemon lollipop! mmm… this is promising.

steeped that smell is tenfold! i’m surrounded by it! liqueur is the color of lemon lollipops!

time to taste: very lemony without being sour, not sweet thought it’s like a sugarless lollipop, i’m going to sweeten this with some agave to see what happens, not the greatest result the tea ends up tasting fake… not great learn from my mistakes drink this clean.

As soon as I smelled this tea, I was totally stoked to try it. Sat down with a big cup of it today and I was not disappointed. I did enjoy drinking it on its own, but I think it would be even better mixed with a straight tea, or as the base for my wife’s throat-fixing honey-lemon recipe.

Word of warning: It did get pretty bitter the longer it sat, so I would go with a lower temperature and shorter steep time than recommended.

Best. lemon. tea. ever. Seriously. It’s also my go to sick tea. I add a little bit of lemon juice and honey, and it stops my coughing right away. I also love that this tea is organic. I’m hoping for DAVID’sTEA to add more organic teas back to their collection – they seem to be more enjoyable.

This is a meh. I bought it. I don’t mind it but I often don’t grab for it so I wouldn’t buy again.

I had this tea outside during a snowy night. I couldn’t have asked for more. It’s the perfect tea for such a night. It’s the most lemony tea I’ve ever tried, it soothes your tea lover soul, warms you up, makes you feel special.

Perfect if you enjoy pure citrus-taste! With a spoonful of honey stirred in, this concoction saved me during my week-long cold-and-flu stupor. The lemon soothed and the honey added a tinge of sweetness. I love mixing DT’s Lemon Myrtle with ginger tea as well for that soothing effect. It’s great if you let it cool and then add ice cubes, you’ll have organic Lemonade!

After the disappointment of La La Lemon I decided to try a tea that promised to be more lemony then lemons themselves.It certainly smells absurdly lemony and looks absurdly lemony which is basically a promise of perfection to me.

It’s a very pleasant tea but I prefer Midsummer’s Night Dream as a lemon tea.This is a truly strong tart and bitter lemony tea so it tastes like more of a wellness tea then a treat tea.I think this will be a staple wellness tea good for sore throats and cold cold days but is not a treat tea by any stretch.
