Hm. Everything I’ve tried from Zen I’ve really enjoyed (some have become my favorite teas, where I’m ordering large quantities to always have on hand). This tea? I’ll probably finish and/or share with others, and then that’s it.
I should note that I love all of the ingredients in this, and I’m wondering if maybe I should make it with curry – as the flavoring for the coconut milk, for example. The lemongrass/lemon verbena is the dominant note, and I’m missing almost everything else. Good, however I was hoping for something as amazing as the other bamboo tea I’ve tried – Bamboo Pomelo from Tea Gschwendner – and this fall short.
Sweetening it with Truvia brings out some ginger (is there any in here?) and apple. This makes it much more enjoyable and nuanced. This, I could have more often. Like this, I might even consider re-ordering.

oooooh…. you sent some of this i believe! i am wrestling with a sample from ysaurella…. yup! i’m looking t it right now1 am i looking at a carrot? it smells awesome!
It smells delicious. Challenging to parse out. Thought you’d want to try the bamboo. I ended up really liking this cup at the end. Only then could I taste the Kaffir lime.

I like this one cold brewed, but swished with boiling water then topped up with cold and into the fridge. I find it’s the best way to get the carrots to hydrate well.
