Spicy Lemon
Name: Spicy Lemon
Kathy's Rating: 5.5/10.0
Company: Adagio Teas
Origin of tea: China
Price: $7/5oz (~141.7g)
Tea form: Loose bits of fruit and spices.
What they say: A delicious blend of natural fruits and spices that brews up a mouthwatering cup of herbal tea. Entirely caffeine free, it holds a special appeal for kids and sweet-toothed adults. Yet contains no sugar or other sweeteners. The flavor is all natural, emanating from lemon and orange peels, apples, currants, pineapple, papaya, hibiscus flowers and rosehip peels. Highly addictive; Please proceed with caution!
Preparation method: Pour boiling water over tea. Steep for 6 minutes.
Review: Spicy Lemon is a just above mediocre blend from Adagio. There's nothing spicy about it, and I think Adagio should have added some kumquat bits and perhaps a few peppercorns or ginger to spice it up so that it lives up to its moniker. However, barring that, this was an OK tea. If you're looking for a citrus tea from Adagio, I liked the Blood Orange blend better. Here's a review of it.
