2021 Sipdown 5/365!
(DavidsTea 20)
Unsure if I’ve had this previously, but had an unopened 25g bag that I purchased off someone, and opted to make it into iced tea. The ingredients are interesting – because sage is included, which is kind of unique, and sounds like it could be very refreshing (or very strange).
The sage ended up not being overly powerful and mostly overwhelmed by the lemon (which there is plenty of). Probably an okay balance, but I’d have liked a little more sage just to make this more distinct from other lemon teas. However, the sweetness of the blackberry leaves is throwing me off as it’s coming off like artificial sweetener, which I do not like. I’d have preferred to sweeten this myself (if I wanted to).
Overall, if you sweeten your teas, maybe this is a good uncaffeinated lemon choice, but if you don’t, or are particularly averse to the lingering sweetness of artificial sweeteners, probably not so much. Glad to only have this one package.
