Pure Leaf Lemon

Ordered lunch to the office today because I didn’t pack a lunch (I was hoping to leave a little early but now I don’t think that’s going to happen) and I got a free drink with what I ordered – this was the only tea related option on the drink list so I picked it up. I feel like I’ve had it before because I had a very clear image in my head of what it would taste like and when I cracked into the bottle it perfectly matched up – but I’ve not written about it on Steepster before and I very rarely miss logging a tea, even when it’s something shitty like this…

Basically this is sweet and sugary lemon with a smidge of black tea – very Nestea/Brisk in vibes, more like what I’d picture a Southern sweet tea to taste like. It’s too sweet for my liking, but I’ll finish it today because I need something to balance the gross and slightly bitter matcha that I just drank. I really don’t like the sticky feeling it leaves in my mouth after finishing a sip though – like corn syrup, almost.

As should be expected from a sweetened tea, this is sugary. I like the fresh lemon taste, but I do find the sweetness a bit much for me. Tea taste is strong but not bitter. Overall it is pretty good if you don’t mind sweetened iced teas.
