Somehow this tisane isn’t weak at all, but strong, fragrant and uber citrus-y! I love anything lemon, unless it’s that Pledge/artificial lemon. (I don’t mind smelling that, but don’t want to consume it.) This tastes like I’ve added a squeeze of fresh lemon to an already energizing tisane. I definitely want to try this with other teas/tisanes – perhaps add mint, or strawberry. Yum!

What do you mean by “somehow this tisane isn’t weak at all”?… it seems as if you’re saying you think all tisanes are weak. It’s definitely a good blender tisane. I haven’t tried any of the suggestions you’ve made, but I have tried black tea (Irish Breakfast) and matcha.

Most tisanes I’ve tried that are just one flavor, such as this, tend to be too plain – for me. But I’m all about spicy foods and super bold tea. Just a preference, I guess. I’ll definitely have to mix this with the new matcha – my first! -that I’ve ordered. Thanks for the idea! :)

Gotcha. Yeah this is definitely good hot or cold w/ matcha. You could also make a frozen lemonade using frozen unsweetened berries. I can see this even being good sweetened so it’s more like a matcha lemonade even though sweetening isn’t my thing.

I have the world’s largest sweet tooth! I’m 30 and still get excited to find new candies. ;) So I’ll have to try a matcha lemonade, although I’ll be “good” and opt for Splenda over sugar. I love blending up strawberry lemonade smoothies in the summer; if it works with matcha I’ll spread the word! :)

artificial junk… shivers lol. Raspberry’s my fave. YUM. :)

Hello fellow tea fans!
I’ve been a tea enthusiast for years but just recently started brewing my own. I’ve created some blends, and enjoy researching about new teas. I combined my love of tea and writing to create a tea-devoted blog, Keen Tea Thyme. I have been writing for most of my life and am a former journalist with a degree in Communications and Social Psychology, and a minor in Writing. Journalism is in my blood, so that means I’m inquisitive by nature, will double-check sources and/or get a second opinion as needed, but also fair and balanced in my reviews. If my reviews seem more positive, energetic and have high ratings, it’s because I love tea. :)

If you are a tea company, I’d love to review some your tea! Free samples are always welcome so I can fully enjoy the freshest selections. I’m also open to tea swaps as I always have too many teas on hand to drink & would love to share with other tea enthusiasts! :)

My Simple Rating Scale (as of Feb. 2011)
>50: I’m NOT a fan. I could barely finish the cup, if I even did. I wouldn’t even recommend this to my worst enemy. Not worth my time nor yours.

51-65: Good aroma, good flavor. Just nothing pops to give the tea that special kick. Recommended to try; our tasting palates differ.

66-79: Yes, finally, tea – unique flavor profiles, great aroma & flavor. Recommended to try; our tasting palates differ.

80-99: These are cupboard essentials – delicious, aromatic and perfect everyday teas. Re-steepable (beyond at least one steeping). Highly recommended, fun for all ages.

100: These are my favorites, the ones I would take with me if stranded on a desert island. Beyond Highly Recommended.
