Creamy Lemon

Holidays TTB

There’s only enough left in here for one, maybe two cups. This is good though, it reminds me a little bit of England – there were a few days where I just hung out in my pjs before bed reading and drinking Lemon Ginger tea and this is extremely reminiscent.

This one of few green teas that I’ve actually enjoyed and the green tea base is prominent. I can’t taste any creamy notes, but the lemon/citrus flavor is not as distinct as I would have expected, so it very well could be that there is creamy notes but they are just cutting the initial sour lemon flavor.

Get ready for a backlog bonanza…

This was surprising! It smells divine and exactly like a creamy lemon cupcake or something. The only thing I was a touch disappointed by was the fact that the creaminess only comes out in flavor and not in mouthfeel. I was also happy that this wasn’t too green-tasting. I would definitely pick some of this up if I were placing an order!

This was a lovely introduction to Cornelia Bean teas :)

A good lemon tea is hard to find! I’ve had way too many that were like drinking a cup of Pledge. This one was a pleasant surprise…very smooth and creamy with a nice natural-tasting lemon flavor. There is just a bit of a tart bite at the end of the sip. A very refreshing tea!

Oh this is an absolutely delightful tea.

It smells sweet and creamy, like a lemon candy or dessert.

The sencha base is fresh and grassy. The lemon flavour is delicate at the beginning of the sip and then in the middle builds to an almost candy-like sweetness that’s creamy and bright but not at all artificial tasting. For all the lemon, it’s not tart, just delicious, through and through.

The finish mellows out, with just a hint of sweet cream on the back of the tongue, and hay notes. There’s only the slightest bit of astringency that’s not noticeable until well into the cup.

I love this tea in the afternoon. A cup goes down incredibly easily and it’s just sunny and fresh tasting.
