Pomegranate Vanilla Lemur Black Tea

My taste buds needed a break from the morning norm. This looked like fun, and made me smile because I remember my son pronouncing it “pimento-grates” when he was learning to read.

This is a sweet fruit tea, heavy on the vanilla. Not a bit of tartness or bitterness, and I was sloppy measuring and timing this first cup. Nicole, I couldn’t taste the lemur either :) It is a very close match for the Culinary Teas Monk’s Blend I have bought by the pound in the past. Highly recommended for those of us that want our fruit tea sweet and gentle, not sour and acidic.

Pimento-grateful to try this one!

I’ll admit that I bought this one primarily because of the Lemur in the name. I taste no fur in this blend, though. :)

I’m assuming that the pomegranate and vanilla flavors come from the “natural flavor” ingredient. Wherever they come from, they are pretty tasty. I do like this one quite a bit. Definitely going on the keeper list.

Sweet enough to not need anything added. I don’t notice the astringency but the pomegranate taste is nicely mellowed by the vanilla. This would be a nice tea to have in place of dessert if you are on the diet bandwagon. If not, it would be nice to have with a slice of pound cake or a bit of dark chocolate, I think.
