Oh happy day, the H&S box arrived. I got a restock of the Bangkok tea (and just in time, I emptied the old tin this morning) and a whole bunch of samples. Decided to try this one first. The gunpowder tea is a nice base, not astringent at all, and balances nicely with the lemon flavor.This is more on the side of lemon candy than natural lemon, but it’s still good. Once brewed, the leaves are small, frilled, and olive-colored. Aroma is the strongest thing about this tea. I think my neighbors can smell the lemon.

Flavors: Lemon Zest

Preparation
180 °F / 82 °C 3 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

Not Really My Style:
spices (except for ginger. ginger rocks)
chai (because, you know, the spices)
rooibos (I don’t get it. Everyone seems psyched for it. Not me).
those smoky teas, like lapsang souchong, though once in a while I’ll need something really strong and then I like them.
