Another from Sips By. I believe this is my first Kenyan black tea. From what I can smell over the lemon myrtle, it reminds me of a fresh Ceylon. Very nice.

I’m broke right now and have had to resort to using sugar in my tea instead of stevia. I hate it. It ruins the mouthfeel and leaves a gross, tangy aftertaste. But that doesn’t stop me from enjoying this.

The lemon myrtle is very powerful. It almost completely mutes the black tea base. I like a tea with a lot of herbs, though, so I don’t mind too much. The lemon flavor I’m getting is definitely not actual citrus. It’s more like lemongrass. Sweet, clean, and uplifting. Soothing in a way. Kind of reminds me of Lemonheads candy. Or the lemon balm my grandmother bought by accident when she meant to get catnip.

So, if you’re looking for a southern sweet tea with lemon experience, this ain’t it. But if you like lemongrass, you’ve found a winner.

Flavors: Lemon, Lemongrass

Quiet, strange, and in love with the world of tea. Living just outside of Atlanta. Cat lover, electronic music geek, balcony gardener, and collector of fossils. On the hunt for the perfect tea in each of my favorite categories.

After 10 years on Steepster, I have given up. The lack of maintenance, updates, and mobile compatibility have finally discouraged me. I still use my Cupboard and add teas to the database, but I won’t be logging teas anymore.
