I’m sure I’ve made it known at some point that I’m not a huge fan of lemon in my tea, but I was intrigued when I stumbled across this Meyer lemon chai from Tea Market. It was the unique combination of ingredients that originally caught my eye, but I’ll be honest, I’m a bit fascinated with anything Meyer lemon at the moment. I’ve been using them in everything from vinaigrettes to lemon cake with fabulous results. So how did they taste in my tea? I’ll give you one word: delicious! This tea reminded me almost of a spicy lemonade without all the added sugar. It was sweet, tart, and the ginger gave it a spicy bite at the end. I could easily see this as a summer staple, so it’s going at the top of my shopping list.

Did you try it iced? I had it that way first at Tea Market and really liked it.

Bio

I am always interested in swapping so if you see anything in my cupboard that you want to try just send me a message. Please keep in mind that I order most of my teas in sample sizes and may not have a lot to swap. I’m also trying to keep my swaps limited to one a month so I don’t break the bank.

My favorite tea companies to order from are American Tea Room, Rishi, TeaVivre, and Single Origin Teas, however I am constantly lured away from my favorites by a good sale.

Ingredients I love in tea
rose, peach, oolong, osmanthus, vanilla, marshmallow root and peppermint

Ingredients I dislike in tea:
spearmint, chocolate, orange, hibiscus, sage and for the most part lemon.

I am a firm believer that sage only belongs in my thanksgiving stuffing/dressing and absolutely not in my tea.

Allergies
Cinnamon, Chocolate, Burdock Root, and Goji Berries

Teawares:
FORLIFE Curve Teapot, 24oz

Adagio Iced ingenuiTEA, 32oz

Rating Guidelines:

100 – 90: Pantry essential and some of my all time favorites that I can’t live without.

89 – 80: You’ll have a pretty good chance of finding this is my pantry on a regular basis, but it isn’t the end of the world if I run out.

79 – 70: I might consider restocking this at some point if the price was right.

69 – 40: Not undrinkable, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to buy it again.

39 – 20: What in the world were they thinking? Probably still finished this just because I hate to waste anything.

19 – 0: Wow, that’s so terrible chances are pretty good I dumped it out and gave away the rest.

My current top five favorite teas:

China Black – Rishi Tea
Earl Grey Cream – Zen Tea
Lemoncello – American Tea Room
Nonpareil Anxi Qing Xiang TieGuanYin Oolong – TeaVivre
White Tea Rose Mélange – Rishi Tea
