Waiting for lots of tea from different companies so I guess I’ll put a note about this one for now. I have no idea if it “works” or not but I liked it.
It was the 10th anniversary for this tea in 2017, and Kusmi Tea said it is a rejuvenated recipe to be “even fresher and more intense”. The leaves were so tiny that I kind of wished I got the tea bags, the leaves were everywhere hehe. The wet leaves had a really strong lemon aroma, but the taste was green tea with a light lemon taste along with lemongrass. It wasn’t sour at all, but just a reminder that I’m one of those extreme sour lovers. Those toxic sour candies (forgot the name) are the type of candies I like, and I also love raw sour tamarind to snack on.
I brewed it western style for 4 minutes, close to the way they suggested it. I actually liked this better than the Zerotea one (I would bet most would prefer that one though since it tastes like warm Christmas-y cider). As for the “detox” function, no clue yet. I mainly wanted to try it because I sampled it a long time ago at work, and liked the taste and it said it was a new recipe that was more intense. Didn’t seem like it though.
Flavors: Citrusy, Fruity, Lemon, Lemon Zest, Lemongrass
