These type of fruit and herb teas always fascinate me. I received this sample from OMGsrsly – thank you so much.
This is interesting (yes that means odd), it is lemon and it is basil but I’m not getting too much oolong. I am also getting a little spice/pepper(?) not sure where that it is coming from. I’m not sure this is balanced correctly for me, it’s a little too basil, not enough lemon (who would have ever thought I would say that?), it really needs more oolong. I think this combination would be really good with a strong dark oolong base, lemon and a hint of basil – this one just doesn’t quite get there for me.
Thanks OMGsrsly for letting me experience this.

Oh yeah, I can see those modifications being really tasty! I tend to cold steep this one more than I drink it hot.

I made a cookie for Christmas years ago with lemon and basil in it. It was pretty good, and had a mysterious peppery bite to it as well, like this tea sounds like it had…interesting.
