drank Lemon Lime Bitters by SBT
871 tasting notes

So I made this tea today but it is not in the steepster database which is odd because all the other SBTs are there. But what is really odd is it is not even listed on the Zoomdweebies website ?!?!? I even double checked the package and it for sure says Lemon Lime Bitters…

I made this one as per package directions. I added about 2tsp of white sugar.

Let me start by saying I love bitters. Any type of “bitters” or “sour” drink (ie. Whiskey Sour) is my absolute fav.

This one brewed does smell like lemon-lime. The taste of the tea is disappointing. Not bad but just not what I would have anticipated based on the “bitters” in the name. There is a lemon-y citrus flavour to the tea. I would say it is extremely similar to the other SBT/52 Teas limish flavours – lime jello, key lime cheesecake, etc. But it is missing the bitters. Not even a hint of the bitters. I was quite disappointed.

I did however drink a whole litre of this tea in a couple of hours, so it didn’t taste bad, just not what I wanted. I did not re-steep.

Bio

I am a lifetime tea lover.

I did foray into the world of coffee for a period of time, but I returned to my true love. I still, however, enjoy a good cup of java.

My all time favorite tea is Earl Grey, which I drink every morning, the stronger the bergamot the better. I definitely prefer natural oil of bergamot to artificial flavouring.

I mostly like black and dark oolong teas. My current favs are Fujian blacks, Keemun and Assams, and Wuyi oolongs. I gravitate towards anything with lychee in it. I also drink a lot of herbal blends but am wary of hibiscus. I do not favour mate, or pu’erh tea, although I have found a few blends that I like. (I so badly want to like straight pu’erh tea but it all tastes gross to me. I keep trying though). Rooibos, green and white teas fall somewhere in the middle. I find myself gravitating towards heavily roasted oolongs and teas from Paris/France based companies.

I love iced teas and cold brews.

My current tea goal is to make the perfect cup of chai from scratch – almost there…I think.

I am in love with the whole experience of tea.
