Organic Lemongrass Bergamot Green Tea

Easy sipdown, thank you derk for two sachets of this tea. Well, it’s actually “classic” tea bag, but whatever.

Anyway, it’s easy non-fuss tea with expected flavour profile. Grassy base, lemon-like note from lemongrass, a little harsher lemon-like note from bergamot. Luckily, it’s not extra sour as one could expect from two lemony ingredients.

Easydrinking and suprisingly fine tea.

Strength in Bergamot.

The combination of bergamot oil with softer lemongrass and a brisk and citrusy-buttery green tea made a great cup to have after a lunch of fish and chips on a 99F afternoon. I’d buy this for work but like Nik, I’m not too keen on individually plastic-wrapped teabags.

This tea is fantastic. It’s the least fussy green I’ve ever steeped. The green is bright and light, not nutty, ricey, or vegetal. The lemongrass and bergamot both come through beautifully—if you like both lemongrass and Earl Grey, you’ll like this one. Don’t worry about letting this one accidentally cool, it’s delicious at almost any temperature (with perhaps the exception of lukewarm): I accidentally left it sitting too long and dumped it in a glass of ice—lovely. Sweetened or un, it doesn’t matter (by which I mean if you tend to like sweetened tea like I do but are trying to cut down, you’ll be happy with this unsweetened).

I keep trying not to drink it because I have so much older tea I need to get through and I keep ignoring everything and just drinking this. The only thing I don’t like is that each tea bag is individually wrapped in plastic; ugh.
