Hook Tea

This teabag from a TTB has no English on it, so I wasn’t sure what flavor it would be. I used a translator app and found it’s supposed to be lemon ginger. I can taste that! It’s not delicious, but I get a sort of dirty ginger and a hint of lemon. It’s not bright and zingy, but it’s there! Apparently there’s black tea in there, but I wouldn’t have guessed that.

Another sick tea I brought back from Taiwan! I can’t really taste any ginger in this, but I quite like the lemon. It’s sweet, gently tart, and juicy in a way that I just realized reminds me of a very robust lemon water. Not sugary enough to be mistaken for lemonade. More of a natural fruity sweetness. The black tea base is completely inoffensive and barely noticeable. I actually literally didn’t realize that this was a black tea at first, because the lemon overpowers the base and the box only says “ginger lemon tea” in English, not that it’s caffeinated or has black tea in it. Another lesson to use translation apps early and often!
