Organic Fairtrade Lime Green

Green Tea by Hampstead Tea

Organic Fairtrade Lime Green Tea
The tropical floral zest of lime is a sophisticated complement to our green tea. The classic citrus overtones are reminiscent of beachside evenings.

Ingredients: Fairtrade green tea, lime zest.
Hampstead Tea Organic Fair Trade Tea Lime Green Directions
Best brewed with boiled water that has cooled for a few minutes. This prevents bitterness and ensures the natural sweet smoothness of the tea shines through. Steep for 1-3 minutes.

Thank you TeaEqualsBliss for this nice sample!

This tea has just the right amount of tartness from the lime and palate pleasing taste of the green tea. The lime doesnt ovewhelm the the tea leaves, which I’m thankful for. Very nice and clean – leaves you with a lift in spirit.

From TeaEqualsBliss. Sorry I forgot to let you know when the envelope arrived. With all the stress of late, I forgot my manners.

Now on to the tea. Unfortunately I think this is a little past its expiration date. I can taste what I think is sencha and I can taste lime sort of but really it is more the shadow of what this once was :( I can tell by the way it plumped up and the fact I can see lime zest through the bag, it had great potential.

This isn’t overly scented or flavored but it makes for a uniquely flavored green tea in a bag. The green tea and the zest of lime meet in the middle. The taste is true to the zest of lime and not really a puckery lime juice if that is what you are looking for this is a bit different than that. I really like this because it is different. It’s not overdone in any way, shape, or form, and if you like lime zest you’ll probably like this! I’m sending out with a few swaps today! Not too shabby! Me likie!

A delicious bagged tea. The lime does not overwhelm the green tea. It tastes fresh and vibrant, with a pleasing lime flavor that is tart but not pucker-y. It reminds me of my gramma’s backyard when the citrus trees were in bloom. Lovely!
