Not sure why, but I have been craving bog-standard black tea with lemon. Bigelow’s Lemon Lift is my favorite cheapie, but it’s only on a few shelves at stores off my normal shopping route. So, any port in a storm, I grabbed this at Walmart last night.
Of course, I didn’t read the fine print until after we were home. There’s some licorice root in the blend, which made me approach it very cautiously this morning. But at a sloppy 4-minute steep, the citrus balances out the licorice so it’s smooth but not sticky.
Final judgment call: performs as advertised—black tea with lemon. A vitamin C boost never hurts, either—school opens next week, and I am drowning in close-proximity people events over the next few days.

I hate it when tea has undercover licorice root, glad it wasn’t too powerful. Why is it always hidden in the fine print?
Amen! I’m not knowledgeable enough to say this with confidence, but I wonder if blenders pull it in as a filler in order to pad their finer ingredients… Hey experts, am I way off base?
