Another sample from Teakruthi! Thanks so much. This is fantastic stuff. Any lemon fan — you need to try this! It’s so fresh and bright, and does have that hint of sweetness that makes it KANDY. But really, it comes from the Kandy district in Sri Lanka, so that makes the name of the tea accurate as well. The black tea is perfect with this lemon. It tastes like fresh lemon, squeezed into the tea. Wow. The second steep was somehow very light in flavor — maybe I steeped it stronger in the first cup. If the second steep was stronger, this would be a perfect tea. If you’re looking for a lemon black tea, this might be the best lemon tea I’ve ever had. Unlike the Vanilla Earl (which I sipped recently), which is fickle, this tea is very straightforward and exactly as described.
Steep #1 // 1 1/2-2 teaspoons for a full mug // 16 minutes after boiling // 3 minute steep
Steep #2 // 4 minutes after boiling // 3-4 minute steep
Edit: with the black friday sale, this tea would be around $5 for 100 grams! Their prices couldn’t be better! Free shipping is at $20…
