La La Lemon (Organic)

This one is nice… I mean, I clearly can’t get too excited about good teas at davids, usually the end up on the last chance list ha ha… this one tastes like a better quality lipton tea… but its comforting!

sometimes i want something fruity, but not too light, yet something cozy and warming, but not too heavy.
black tea with lemon! this is the perfect balance for me. plus, i am a fanatic of anything citrus flavoured/scented, so it was an instant winner.
one of my absolute favourites.

Just as David’s claims, this is a very smooth tea, with a nice balance between the lemon and black tea flavors. But honestly — and I hope I’m not violating the sacred code of tea drinkers by saying this — I didn’t think it was that much better than a grocery store lemon tea, such as Bigelow’s Lemon Lift. The La La Lemon is slightly more balanced, (and the aroma is heavenly) but to me there’s not enough difference to justify the higher price.

Sipdown!
Had the last bit of this one this morning… sorta. I don’t care for it. Given though, I definitely made it much too strong. I shouldn’t have had as many tea leaves in it. When it was finished steeping it was so dark it almost looked black. Milk and sugar both added didn’t redeem my blunder.

I had enough for one or two more cups, but I decided to toss it (For shame! I know. But I haven’t been drinking this one and I really don’t think I could have handled another cup of this one again). I guess lemon in black teas isn’t my thing!

This is a tea with some substance. Does it sometimes taste as though if I added a generous amount of sweetness it would be Nestea? Yes.

But this is easily the most full-bodied black tea I’ve tried from Davids. And it’s not bitter! Or at least, the lemon flavor is there to cut through potential bitterness and trick my tastebuds into thinking it was all an illusion. Seriously, though, I can’t get over the great texture.

I’d absolutely buy this again, as it seems like this could be the sort of tea that most people would be okay drinking… unless you hate lemon.

Anyone who knows me knows I am a citrus taste addict.
Being raised in a European household we always had black tea with slices of lemon floating and squeezed into it.I even used lemon juice on black tea going as extreme with lemon as I can go in tea.
So I was definitely SUPER excited to try a black tea infused with extreme lemony taste and smell It smells amazing like perfectly lemonized black tea.

Well damnit Smelled amazing and full of promise but the tea was simply bitter with a tiny bite of lemon really not worth mentioning.

I think I perhaps steeped too long.I will try again and see if I can find the lemony black tea promised land in my cup.

I have a lot of hope.

Picked up some of this last night due to how much I have been enjoying other lemon themed teas from Davids. I tried it first with my dinner as a flash iced tea, I used 5 tsp of tea in about 8oz of water and it was honestly some of the weakest tasting iced tea I have had, especially for how lemony this tea smells. Being the optimist I am I tried it again later in the night as a warm cup of tea, and while I could taste the lemon in it better then I could with it iced. It was similar to what other people have said, its almost like cough drop lemon. Not sure if this is one that I will be grabbing again it wasn’t horrible but not really what I was expecting either.

First let me start with this disclaimer: (1) I am new to the world of loose teas (thank you DAVIDsTEA in Quebec City!) and (2) I like black tea and lemon together.

With that said, of the handful of different teas I have tried thus far, this is definitely my favorite. No sweetener required (though a bit of honey or agave is great too). Perhaps this isn’t the most “exciting” tea ever, but I think I’ll always have some around at my house.

Today after breaking up fights with the kids, cleaning up the dumped plate the cat knocked of the counter and making sure all the pets where fed, I sat down with my first cup of tea. Today I decided that first cup was going to be La La Lemon black tea by David’sTea.

The first thing you will notice when you drink this tea is there is a very good punch of lemon, which should not surprise you, after all it is called La La Lemon for a reason. With my usual milk and sugar it seems to give it almost a dessert like taste with out being over sweet. Keep in mind that I use 2 tsp of sugar in about 500 (ish) ml of tea.

The black tea is some what over powered by the lemon and surprisingly with the amount of orange in this tea you hardly taste any of it at all. Some would say that since it is a black tea you would think you’d get a strong black tea taste but in my opinion I think it works perfectly as it is.

The only down side I have found is that 1.25 tsp is enough for a small cup of tea, for my travel which holds 8 fl oz needs about 2 tsp worth the tea to get the same flavour, but really that calling it a down side is a bit of an over statement.

The feelings I get drinking this tea on our cold winter months is one of summer, sitting with family enjoying a cup of lemonade while the kids and family play in the sprinklers while the sun beats down on me. A rather nice feeling when the weather is so cold.

I would highly suggest this tea if you are a lemon fan. I do caution that if you add to much sugar you will get a sweet lemon candy effect, so limit the amount of sugar or sweetener of your choice when drinking this. Further more I will be trying this later with honey, I think the two flavours would worth very well together.

I’ve been feeling a bit of a scratchy throat and thought I’d try to fight it off with some lemon tea. I found this in my cupboard and brewed up a pot. I under steeped it for silly reasons (I have a new teapot and was using for the first time and excited about the whole process) but it proved to be the right length.

There is a strong lemon scent and flavour to this tea. Almost too strong and I wouldn’t like to over steep like I usually do. However I found it to be a fresh lemon flavour as if I had picked them off the trees myself. After a sip I added some honey as I find that it is a black that definitely needs to be sweetened.

All and all a basic lemon black tea but quite enjoyable.
