This is another tea from the set of 3 mini-tins I ordered from Lupicia (partially for the adorable tins!). This one is my favorite of the three, it has a cute little reindeer on the front (http://instagram.com/p/wcKGgCGgPz/). I was really surprised that there wasn’t an entry for this on Steepster, since Lupicia is pretty well known for their flavored teas. It’s a red rooibos base, and I can see pieces of citrus peel and some kind of crushed leaves – I assume lemon balm or something similar. It smells extremely medicinal, which is scary. It smells exactly like a lemon-flavored throat lozenge.
The steeped tea still smells a little bit medicinal, but it’s not as bad as it was dry. Thankfully, it doesn’t taste medicinal. This is a pretty tasty basic lemon tea – it doesn’t have any other supporting flavors. The lemon is sweet and not overly sharp, and it reminds me of lemon drop candies. Pretty good, I’ll easily get through my 5 sachets. :)
Flavors: Candy, Lemon, Sweet
