I feel like a jerk for panning my third tea in a row from the almost always fabulous 52 Teas. They will never lose me as a customer; they make beautiful and interesting fresh teas. I just have been having a hard time with my tea to water ratio. And it’s only been this brand that I keep messing up. I find the other brand of tea that I tend to stock up on is a bit more forgiving.

I ADORE the “other” mist that 52 Teas makes so I thought I’d try this one. I now remember trying this one several years ago in a swap, and at the time, I found the lemony flavor to be overbearing. Well, oops, I did it again. Maybe I overdid the ratio of tea to water this time, but I didn’t taste anything but lemonlemonlemon. I love marshmallow and mint in my tea so I was sad not to get any of that. And I’m not a fan of tart. So the quality of the tea was quite good. The flavor was just a miss for my personal taste.

Flavors: Lemon, Lemon Zest, Lemongrass

175 °F / 79 °C 3 min, 0 sec 30 g 25 OZ / 750 ML

Bio

44-year-old empty nester, mother of one 21-year-old young man who is a senior at UW-Madison. I live in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, near Lake Michigan. I love to read, embroider, play my ukulele, and drink tea, of course!

I have written 100 reviews over the years. One thing that’s changed is that I used to put two packages of Splenda in an 8-oz. cup of tea. Now I wonder how I even tasted the tea. I’m down to about 1/2 to 1 packet of Stevia per full mug.

About my cupboard—I have listed every tea that I have 1 oz. or more. Most teas I have about 3-4 oz. Feel free to ask for a trade. I love to trade! I will warn you now that sometimes I’m a slow mailer so you shouldn’t send me your part of the trade until you’ve gotten your package from me. I won’t be offended!

TEA LIKES: Blacks, Greens, Whites, and these flavors: Berry, nut, coconut, spice, sweet, crème, pineapple, citrus, cranberry, mint, marshmallow, vanilla…

TEA DISLIKES: Strong bergamot, sour, tangy, tart, earthy, pu erh, strong oolongs (they smell like manure to me), Jasmine, floral, smoky, hibiscus, rooibos…
