Lala drank SBT: Lime Cola by Southern Boy Teas

871 tasting notes

This is an extremely well done SBT. I made this as per the package, tea bag in boiling water for 3 minutes, filled pitcher with cold water and chilled over night. I added 1 tsp of brown rock sugar.

The dry tea smells strongly of cola with lime. The brewed tea smells and taste the same. It is more like a generic cola, flavoured with real lime juice. The only thing it is missing is carbonation, which is fine by me because I am not the hugest fan of carbonation. This one is very similar to 52 teas Cuba Libre but I think the lime cola tastes much better.

Edit: The resteep was good. More lime and less cola flavour. Steeped 4 minutes.

Profile

Bio

I am a lifetime tea lover.

I did foray into the world of coffee for a period of time, but I returned to my true love. I still, however, enjoy a good cup of java.

My all time favorite tea is Earl Grey, which I drink every morning, the stronger the bergamot the better. I definitely prefer natural oil of bergamot to artificial flavouring.

I mostly like black and dark oolong teas. My current favs are Fujian blacks, Keemun and Assams, and Wuyi oolongs. I gravitate towards anything with lychee in it. I also drink a lot of herbal blends but am wary of hibiscus. I do not favour mate, or pu’erh tea, although I have found a few blends that I like. (I so badly want to like straight pu’erh tea but it all tastes gross to me. I keep trying though). Rooibos, green and white teas fall somewhere in the middle. I find myself gravitating towards heavily roasted oolongs and teas from Paris/France based companies.

I love iced teas and cold brews.

My current tea goal is to make the perfect cup of chai from scratch – almost there…I think.

I am in love with the whole experience of tea.
