Lemon Pound Cake

This is amazing hot or iced! Really tastes like iced lemon pound cake – creamy and sweet without milk/sweetener.

I steeped two perfect spoons of this tea for 3 mins, 15 seconds. .And then poured over a glass of ice. This tea is nice because the lemon and the sweetness come out, but it isn’t too sweet as some artificial flavors tend to be. This oolong is very refreshing as an iced tea, and also makes a great iced latte! The oolong in it works really well as it isn’t too strong of a tea by itself

I’m literally having a cup of this right now after months, and I’m happy all over again! It smells and tastes exactly like its namesake – LEMON POUND CAKE! So magical, so nice, I have no complaints. But be sure not to add too much water if you’re using only one heaping teaspoon because then it tastes like nothing but hot water which is no fun lol.

I’ve tried a lot of bad lemon teas in my day, but this is a good one. The lemon flavor is smooth and bright and not too artificial..fake lemon can make me feel like I’m drinking a cleaning spray instead of tea! And I do get a bit of a “cake” note as well. This is one I’d definitely consider re-purchasing in the future.

Lemon pound cake, who doesn’t like that? This tea is fine, it does taste a bit like lemon pound cake, not too sweet, but slight taste of cake and lemon, along with the oolong tea taste, which I enjoy. Overall, good, not sweet, nice lemon notes.

Pretty good. Decided to get 2oz since it was on sale. The oolong base is a nice fit. I likely won’t run out to buy more but at the same time it will be an easy 2oz to finish. It’s doing it’s job at the moment =)

I first tasted this in the 2017 24 days of tea advent calendar. I spilled some of the leaf going to make my second cup. (Ugh.) It was great though. I love this flavored oolong. I think the lemon flavor has the right level and it feels like the liquid equivalent to eating an excellent Lemon frosted pound cake. I eventually bought another 2 oz. It steeps twice; the first steep for 4 to 7 minutes and 10 minutes for the second steep. I used a Davidstea tea bag an Perfect spoon for measuring. One other reviewer compared it to a processed store bought Lemon Pound cake. That is true. If you don’t like that in your face artificial flavor then this isn’t for you. But if you could eat Emerson’s pastries all day long then you might like this. I do.

The name really does this tea justice. Buttery and citrusy, is such a lovely cup. While it does just fine hot, I prefer to make a big pitcher or iced.

Smelling the dry tea itself, you are reminded of a standard lemon pound cake. There is little to no artificial smell at all. When I smelled it, I was excited to give this one a try since I am a fan of smooth and buttery oolongs.

After steeping, the nutty note came through.

*after first sip

Exactly what it smells like, the vegetal note comes out more. Unfortunately, it’s not smooth. I would still recommend to those who enjoy dessert flavoured teas.

I forgot to review this tea when I had it (several days ago) so…
