Sipdown! And what a happy sipdown it is!
When I was first getting into tea, a friend of mine made me a cup of key lime pie flavored tea. I hadn’t heard of novelty tea flavors at this point, and this blend was fantastic. Limey and creamy and just scrumptious. So, when I bought DavidsTea’s Key Lime I was expecting a similar reaction.
How can I say this nicely? I dread this tea. It’s not that it tastes particularly bad, it’s just not key lime and I don’t enjoy the tart cinnamon flavor that is there. Made today at work, the sour edge was the closest to lime it’s ever been and it wasn’t bad “cold steeped” (read: left in a mug of cold water while I went to a meeting). But yeah. Soooo happy to be done with this one and feeling just the tiniest bit proud that I finished it off myself and didn’t pawn it off on a friend.

If my memory serves me correctly. I had this tea iced in the summertime. I remember a very gross bitter taste-possibly from the rind of the lime. Yuck.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one! I wanted so much to like this but … no, just no. :-(
I had a in-store sample of this not so long ago and wth. Yes, exactly that reaction. It’d be better as a soda or fizzy something, but hot tea, no.
Somewhere in my tea cabinet, I have a small amount of dry leaf which I had bough to try before the sample.. I’m in no rush.
I am not sure if this still holds true, but you used to be able to return tea with a receipt
Thanks, tigress_al. I wonder if I had the presence of mind to keep the receipt?
