I’ve been really trying to avoid adding more flavored teas to my cupboard lately, but after seeing some of the 52Teas reviews, I buckled. (Thanks, y’all… hehe!) This is a fun blend, with sweet and bright lemon that reminds me of a round, cellophane wrapped hard candy. I didn’t pick up on a lot of marshmallow in my first session, which I brewed gong fu. I’ll probably try this Western next — I anticipate the layering that western affords will showcase this blend a little better. The white tea is a nice delicate offset for the high lemon notes, while the houjicha brings up the bottom and gives it something to sit on (a characteristic lacking in, say, Tazo’s Lemon Loaf). The coupling creates a lovely profile on which to set some flavor.
Flavors: Candy, Lemon, Sweet
