Lemon Green

Green Tea by The Tea Table

Lemon Green Tea combines High-grown Ceylon green tea with natural lemon and slices of lime. A lovely light tea, great for evenings or as an iced tea. Try it with a drop of honey! Use 1 tsp. per cup and steep 3 minutes in steaming water.

This tea smells amazingly like lemon candy when dry. Sadly, that probably bumped the tea down a few notches here, because it doesn’t taste like lemon candy — it’s very sweet (I did add honey as they recommended), and it definitely has both lemon and candy tones, but it’s not that bright lemon drop experience. On the other hand, once I got over that disappointment, it’s a lovely lemon green tea! It’s very smooth and earthy underneath the lemon — brewed it smells a bit grassy, in a really nice way — and it’s not at all puckery, nor is it medicinal once the honey is added. (It was faintly back-of-the-mouth-medicine in the first few sips before I put in a small squeeze of honey, but that might also have been that the water was still rather hot.)

Also, it’s very pretty dry: take a look at the picture!

Okay, this one can definitely get bitter if it’s left to steep too long. Not a good steep-in-the-mug tea! Although it’s worth noting that even oversteeped it has a sweet tang which lingers longer than the bitter does after sipping.

Mmm. Apparently, on the right sort of day this is very soothing mug-steeped.

This also makes a lovely mid-day palate cleanser!
