Nearly as good as Della Terra’s Lemon Chiffon, which is saying something coming from me…gets the creamy sweet lemon thing right in the same way (smells wonderful dry and brewed), smooth, not too astringent. The one tiny edge DT Lemon Chiffon has over this is that it has more of that buttery lemon bar crust element than this does (not surprising or a failure on its part really, as the name doesn’t indicate anything about trying to taste like lemon pastry). But the mouthfeel and flavor and aroma are scrumptious. And something it provides that Lemon Chiffon doesn’t, for better or worse, is a transformation as you finish the cup: as it cools, it gets less rich and more astringent, more like the puckery juiciness of straight lemon zest (yay accurate naming), though never reaching an unpleasant point. I do enjoy teas that change throughout the experience of the entire cup provided I like all the steps involved, and I do here, so it’s fun. The aftertaste/mouthfeel finishing the cup is more like you’ve been drinking uber-fresh lemonade or ODing on lemonheads than eating a lemon bar, fresher, intenser, more immediately lemon-y, less sweet. The lemon flavor lingers vividly in the mouth for quite a long time afterward too, complete with the oiliness (might sound bad but is great). I welcome both types of lemon experiences.

I’m going to think of this as a very decent back-up plan or occasional substitute for novelty’s sake, something I could order if for some reason DT ever didn’t have Lemon Chiffon available (the horror!).

This tea has SUCH a strong lemon dessert scent! It smells like a lemon bar or a frosted lemon sugar cookie. Delish! The taste is a bit more toned down.. but still good. It’s a tiny bit tart, quite sweet and a little bit creamy. This is a great lemon dessert tea! Thank you Naomi!

I just can’t get into this one. It does have a lovely lemon pastry scent, but then it just kind of disappoints. I use plenty of tea to make it, but it just has too strong a rooibos flavor and not enough lemon. The particular flavor of this particular lemon is nice with the rooibos, but just too mild. I’m not even sure I would be able to tell it’s a lemon tea if I didn’t know it was. Definitely not what I’d call lemon zest.

this one is very similar to the other lemon tea i pulled from the gcttb yesterday but this is a rooibos base and less creamy :) i think i prefer the other one just slightly but this is a pretty delicious lemon herbal. No woodsy rooibos here, just lemon goodness!

I really enjoyed this one. It’s got that creamy lemon pie taste with the rooibos. A good choice for a caffeine free drink in the evenings.

From my July Tea Sparrow box.

I was not expecting to like this tisane as much as I am. It’s what I wanted Lemon Chiffon to be and wasn’t. It’s the perfect amount of lemon, creamy and sweet. I think the rooibos is the perfect background for the flavors. (I like rooibos. I know not everyone does.)

I’m definitely glad I got to try this one.

I’m posting this from my phone and it really doesn’t like the Steepster site at all, especially not the tasting not pop-up screen, so please excuse any typos I missed.

I forgot to post an update about my cat. Nothing showed up on the X-ray except for the thing in his lung we already knew about, but that hasn’t changed. So we’re trying antibiotics. This meant I had to cancel my weekend travel so we can be home to pill the cat. Thankfully, Mr. Penny loves to take pills if they are put in a soft treat. That boy will do anything for a treat.

Hope the antibiotics do the trick! Tell Mr. Penny I’m sending him happy kitty thoughts. :)

So am I!

Hope Mr. Penny gets better fast!

Penny Penster seems to be about the same this morning, but he came out from behind the couch and was begging for treats. I wish I could have worked from home again today to keep an eye on things, but I know he’ll be fine. Last time he did something like this he started responding to the antibiotics quite quickly – about 36 hours.
