Brisk Ceylon tea with fresh lemon. Bright and sweet like Meyer lemons, with a crisp mouthfeel and refreshing finish.

I think this would be a perfect 'introductory' loose-leaf tea for someone who considers themselves a 'classic tea-drinker', but who has never branched out from Lipton bagged tea. This tea would show them a new world of flavor, as the lemon sits at the forefront. And, while this is not really my speed, I can't knock it either simply because it reminds me of my childhood.
This tea is wonderful. It smells much stronger than it is: when brewed, it's a lovely black tea with a hint of lemon. Not too much, just perfect! It's great without sweetener, great with some honey, great with milk and honey. I'm in the process of ordering a giant bag of it so I can use it for sun tea this summer and then drink it iced. I can't wait!
Update: I haven't gotten to the sun tea yet, but I did make it iced the other day. I brewed a pot of tea, just throwing the leaves in there and I split the pot into two cups of ices tea, so the second cup had the tea leaved sitting in it 'steeping' for quite a while (more than half an hour). The tea got SUPER bitter after this way-too-long steep time (by contrast I've done this with some other black teas with no problems). Fortunately I added a little milk, which cut the bitterness to a drinkable level, but beware of oversteeping this tea! Hopefully this doesn't become an issue with the sun tea.
This tea is amazing. The lemon flavor doesn't taste fake at all, the actual tea is great, and all around this is an amazing tea.
i love the smell of this tea so much. the lemon taste is subtle, which isn't too bad. a little lemon juice really brings it forward. I might try this iced with some fresh lemon slices. sounds like it'd be a good summer drink.
This tea was okay. A little bit of a weird flavor in my opinion, more bitter than usual.
Very enjoyable but not my favorite.
Good stuff, though I find that it needs a little squeeze of lemon to really make that flavor pop.
This tea is nice and strong but really lacking the lemon for me. Would not repurchase. It would probably have helped if it contained actual pieces of lemon in it.
It's good hot, but think this will be my go-to for summer iced tea.
I almost enjoy this as much as the Peach tea I bought. Wonderful tea.
To me this just tasted like any other black tea with a hint of lemon. It's nice, but I wouldn't buy it in bulk
I gave this to my mother in law for Christmas. I think she likes it.
this was not what I was expecting, but I really like it
I loved this. The hint of lemon was just what I needed as winter turned into spring. I plan to order more.
This tea was good, though I was expecting more of a lemon flavor
This tea is unique. It is smooth with a hint of the lemon tartness and a scent that is absolutely divine. I haven't found the perfect way to brew this one yet, but I know I will!~
Tastes a bit astringent to me. The lemon is less strong than I would like.
Nice lemony flavor.nice iced or hot. I didn't steep it long or it got too bitter.
One of my favorite teas at the moment. The black tea wakes me up, and the lemon scent and flavor are great.
This tea is wonderful! It's a great pick-me-up for early mornings and slow afternoons.
I really enjoyed this! It's not too heavy and the lemon taste is great, bright and clear, not sour. 10/10!
Nice surprise!a great afternoon tea with a cookie or scone.
This was ok. The lemon taste was milder than I anticipated. Still a good tea, though not my first choice.
If you like lemon in your tea, then you'll enjoy this. A nice black tea with a light hint of lemon.
I was so happy to see a lemon flavored black tea! This has a great flavor and I will definitely be ordering more!
This is like sunshine in a cup. Smooth, fragrant with citrus but without too much of an acid bite. Perfect hot or iced, and it's a black that doesn't need much sugar to take the edge off.
I could barely taste the lemon. Basically just a black tea.
Really good added a little honey, very nice cup of tea!I dont have a thermometer so I just smell it and that's how I decide if it's brewed enough.
Good when steeped right. I find it hard to get it to not be bitter. I reduced the time and temp that I steep it at to fix this.
Really pleasant mellow lemon taste! I was worried it would be too sour or puckery, but it's actually very pleasant and subdued. Fully present, though! A bit like a lemon and cream candy. I actually really loved this.
nice bright lemon flavor good taste jljlhjlhjjhjkhkjhj
If you like lemon flavor in your tea this is the one for you! For an extra lemon boost, I sometimes add a piece of fresh cut lemon.
I received this as a free sample and am enjoying it. The lemon flavor is nice and smooth and it smells really good. I use it as a blend and drink it hot or cold. I often taste the bitterness of black tea, so I brew it at a lower temperature.
This tea was recommended for me because of other purchases. It has a light lemony flavor and was an excellent choice - I would definitely buy this again.
This is a nice tea. It's basically black tea with a hint of lemon. It smells lovely, and doesn't need any additives like sugar. I'm not crazy over it but it is refreshing and pleasant.
What i expected for a black tea but I enjoyed the Rooibos Lemon Cloud better for its lemon taste more than this but still a good tea.
It's nice and refreshing. Nothing particularly spectacular, but I'm not going to turn away a cup if it's offered to me!
Not my favorite blend. I did not enjoy the lemon with the black tea.
Delicious..love this tea. If you are a lemon lover, you will want to try this tea!.
The first thing you smell when you open the bag is an extremely strong fake lemon smell. That being said, I don't mind the tea since as soon as you brew it, that fake lemon smell is gone. I would probably look for another option if you really like the lemon taste to come through.
Not too lemony that it makes you want to pucker your lips. A sweet lemon treat.
For us, this tea was not good at all. I would not say it was awful, but it was close. Black tea itself can be bitter, but when you add the astringency of lemon, it tastes like you might think of what Lemon Pledge could taste like. Sweetening the tea with honey made in palatable, and a little bit of licorice root even a bit more palatable, but all-in-all, it just wasn't the cup of tea we'd hoped for. I would not recommend this tea.
I think this would taste really good to mix with a straight black tea!
Oddly, tastes like freeze dried bananas, which is fine if I wasn't expecting lemons.
Strong aroma and it does not reflect the taste. Stronger than the taste. However, the flavor is pleasant.
I am not a huge fan of lemon tea in general, but I find this one very pleasant since it is not bitter or sour.
The lemon fragrnce has a bite to it but the taste isn't sour.
I was not happy with the taste of this tea at all. I expected more of a lemonade taste. I'm not real sure what to compare this taste to.
I really enjoy the subtle lemon flavor on the foundation of black tea.
Not that much lemon flavor. The flavor doesn't shine through as much when you do the tea hot. Better for cold brewing.
