This is a soft lemon, no sourness at all. The comparison to lemon cake is apt, but it’s lighter and lovelier. Perhaps it’s the almond making the difference, as I don’t recall having a lemon tea with almond before. I do agree this one gets better as it cools, which is great for me as I tend to like my “hot” tea kind of lukewarm anyway, lol. I’ve not had actual macarons, but I think comparing it to a lemon Madeleine is pretty close. Anyway, I just wish these folks were still around, as I finished off my stash of it last night. :( (PS, I agree with the person who said that measuring this one was impossible! Long white leaves just don’t fit in a teaspoon!)

Bio

Wife, mom of 2 crazy young kids (and 3 cats, if they count). Used to be a professional tree hugger, now I stay at home hobbit-like and teach the kids to love the trees. Also hobbit-like, I love reading, tea, second breakfasts, cooking and food in general, and gardens. (I can’t really say I love gardening since where I live, it’s too dratted hot for too much of the year to actually do it.) I am always on the search for a good flavored decaf black tea. Suggestions are more than welcome!

I tend to like my teas strong, so I use more than most people when I brew. Don’t be put off a tea because I say I used 4 tsp to brew 12 oz or something – that’s just me.

PS – Unlike a hobbit, my toes are not furry. I just feel the need to clarify.
