This is a sample I received with my Christmas gift tea. The ingredients listed on the back of the pouch that held the teabag says it contains 87% green tea from China, 10% lemongrass, and lime, lemon, and ginger essential oils.
The dry tea did swell considerably as it steeped. When I did the last oolong bag they sent I set it free but this one I kept in the bag because it didn’t look overly constricted.
The scent is decidedly lemongrass. I feel like I am shopping at our local nursery and rubbing all the lemon mint and other lemon scented herbs. This is a wonderful aroma. The color of the steeped tea is very lemony in the cup, having a beautiful yellow color that isn’t too pale.
The taste stands up to the aroma and ingredient list. The green tea base is very smooth and subtle and the lemongrass really stands out. This would be a lifesaver when you have a really sore throat. I can imagine it would be very comforting and soothing. I do feel the slightest bit of warming from the ginger, especially in the aftertaste. This might be excellent iced as well.
If you love lemon or lemongrass herbal teas, this would be a real treat. Hubby agreed with the nursery herbs assessment, saying he found this to be good but he still prefers Silky Green by Bird Pick above other green teas.
DF Advent — Day 15
Catching up, short notes.
Don’t remember much about this, probably because I’m not a fan of lemongrass. Mild tea, which has a place and time. I probably would’ve drank this while sick this past week had I any appetite for tea.

Adventageddon Day 15
As far as lemon ginger teas go this is a very average feeling one to me. Smooth and grassy green tea base that accentuates the grassiness of the lemongrass and the brightness of the lemon oil. I don’t taste a ton of ginger though. Just a whisper. It could be bolder or more evenly balanced but lemon is what they chose to put in the name and not lemon ginger, so I feel like the emphasis on the lemon is pretty intentional.
However, this tea was the perfect vessel for a brand new and pretty out there flavoured honey I recently got. It’s got propolis in it along with lime, thyme, juniper, and peppermint essential oils. You’d think that would be a lot and it would be challenging to distinctly taste each flavour, but you would also be wrong. The honey starts off very bright, zesty and just a little bit sour before the golden sweetness hits along with very herbaceous and pine-y notes from the thyme/juniper combo. Finally, it has a really nice cooling sensation afterwards from the mint. I don’t know if I’ve ever had honey with a menthol effect, but I am in love with it. The overall combination actually reminds me a lot of gin!
So, obviously all of those flavours work really well with the green tea and lemon. I felt like it really elevated what was just an okay cup of tea otherwise. I’m STOKED to try this honey with more things!
