Eelong drank Lemony Gunpowder by Harney & Sons

66 tasting notes

This does an excellent job at smacking you in the face with the lemon in it. I don’t mind, I love the lemon. The gunpowder is subtle in comparison to the lemon but definitely there. Not grassy, a little smoky, just how I like my green teas. All the flavors here are right on the surface and you don’t have to sit there taking little sips to figure out what’s happening with the notes. Definitely going to be keeping a tin of this on hand from here on out!

Flavors: Lemon, Lemon Zest

Preparation

185 °F / 85 °C 3 min, 15 sec 3 g 12 OZ / 354 ML

Bio

Eel and tea lover. Big fan of dark oolongs, Nepal blacks, and fruity herbals. I occasionally make the terrible mistake of trying weird teas and then spend a good 5 minutes scrubbing my tongue with a toothbrush trying to get the taste out of my mouth.

Ratings:
100: Downright addictive.
95+: A definite favorite. This is something I’ll reach for again when I want something special.
90-95: I’d drink this again without question. There’s probably 4 ounces of it sitting by the tea kettle.
80-89: I’m glad I tried this and I’ll happily drink through the rest of the pouch. Might not be on the reorder list, though.
60-79: This is either mediocre and acceptable or I hate it and don’t want to skew the rating.
40-59: Uh, this is drinkable. Probably.
20-39: We’re entering the abyss. Here lies danger.
1-19: Please take me out if I ever try to brew this one again.
