Brewed this up in my Timolino for work. I’m trying all my iHOT teas pretty quickly. It’s definitely something to keep me excited until the 24 days of teas (12 more days!!). Which reminds me, I should put up my Christmas tree by December 1st :).
Anywho, the “pencil shavings” taste of the lapacho is masked somewhat by the lemongrass taste. There’s still a woody taste, but it’s not offensive. There’s only a slight creaminess to this tea, and its more so in the aftertaste. Altogether this is alright, but doesn’t wow me; for future cups I’m probably going to add lemon myrtle to up the lemon taste. Also, to be honest I have other herbal lemon teas I like better than this. Altogether not bad, and I’ll use it up, but I dunno if I would repurchase.
Flavors: Lemongrass, Wood
Makes me wonder how many people actually like lapacho? I mean, I know it’s all personal preference, but still.
Apparently it’s used a lot of South America as an ailment for certain things.
