I almost didn’t buy this because of the goofy cat, but I like green teas and adore lemony flavored things so I finally gave in. Shipping was very fast (Thank you, Frank) and I decided to steep some of this up after lunch.
It definitely smells lemony in the package and then after I smell the wet leaf, I’m thinking, “Huh, this really does smell like lemon pound cake.”
I’m liking this as it cools down. I don’t know if it tastes like lemon pound cake to me, but it is yummy. I am thinking it is more like a lemon tart. I like the green tea base here, which is very light and soft and really allows the lemon yumminess to shine through. To me, it smells more marshmallow-y than it tastes, but I like it nonetheless! Compared to the lemon cardamom chun mee, it’s not as zesty, it’s definitely on the softer side. I am going to have to try this with a little soymilk added, I bet it would also be really good iced.
When I’ve had cloud mist teas on their own they seem a little boring, but it works well as the base for this.
Frank you are terrific with these lemon blends. I will enjoy this with no problem. :)
Dog person?
Ha – no. A kitten floating in the clouds on a bed of marshmallows? How dorky can you get? :)
Embrace the dork in you!
Like it isn’t dorky enough posting tea reviews on Steepster? :-P
Good point, amy! :P
