Eelong drank Lemon Lift Tea Decaffinated by Bigelow

66 tasting notes

This sure is…. bagged tea dust with some artificial flavoring and spices. The meyer lemon peel flavor masks the actual taste of the tea, which is saying something, because the lemon is barely noticeable. There’s some spice here that’s blended in about as smoothly as a shake of cinnamon and nutmeg added directly onto the top of a brewed cup of tea. Can’t say my standards were super high with 1) it being actual tea from Bigelow and 2) it being decaf, but dang, this tea tripped on the bar that was hovering above the ground. Hot water would have been a better bedtime cup.

Flavors: Lemon, Spices

Bio

Eel and tea lover. Big fan of dark oolongs, Nepal blacks, and fruity herbals. I occasionally make the terrible mistake of trying weird teas and then spend a good 5 minutes scrubbing my tongue with a toothbrush trying to get the taste out of my mouth.

Ratings:
100: Downright addictive.
95+: A definite favorite. This is something I’ll reach for again when I want something special.
90-95: I’d drink this again without question. There’s probably 4 ounces of it sitting by the tea kettle.
80-89: I’m glad I tried this and I’ll happily drink through the rest of the pouch. Might not be on the reorder list, though.
60-79: This is either mediocre and acceptable or I hate it and don’t want to skew the rating.
40-59: Uh, this is drinkable. Probably.
20-39: We’re entering the abyss. Here lies danger.
1-19: Please take me out if I ever try to brew this one again.
