“I put off trying this tea since I’m not a big fan of lime flavoring. I get a soda-like feeling from the tea, and the lime is almost too harsh, but I can take it. I watered it down a bit, which...” Read full tasting note
“There’s a lot of cherry pieces in the dry leaf of this tea, but the taste is very much driven by the lime flavouring and lemongrass. It’s the same type of bright and sweet lemon lime that I...” Read full tasting note

“June 2021 Tea Sipdown :) Pretty good cherry-lime rooibos blend with a convincing seltzer “fizz” which lingers. I don’t always love rooibos, but the green stuff is neat and I love lime and...” Read full tasting note
Tea of the Week for June 14, 2021!
Inspired by the Cherry Lime Rickey from Sonic. I don’t go to Sonic often because I’m not particularly fond of the food, but the Cherry Lime Rickey rocks! So a tea that satisfied my love for the combination of cherry & lime was definitely in order.
I start with fresh green rooibos which offer a light, refreshing base for these flavors. Then I add lemongrass, limes & cherries & a hint of essence to create a magical effervescent-ish taste. YUMMY!
It’s organic, VEGAN, gluten-free, allergen-free & all natural!
organic ingredients: green rooibos, lemongrass, limes, cherries & natural flavors
to brew: shake the pouch before you measure to redistribute the ingredients. use 4g of leaf to 12oz of very hot water (190°F) & steep for 8 – 10 minutes. Longer if you like! This blend won’t get bitter from a longer steep. I steeped my first taste test of this tea for 9 minutes & for the second taste test, I steeped it for 12 minutes. I preferred the 12 minute steep – but both were delicious.
