sweet, lemony wonder
iced lemon cookie
cold-steeped comfort in a cup
this is delicious….tastes exactly as it smells….zesty, sweet, lemony creamy cake. i mean, it’s pretty close. i can’t imagine there being a better rendition out there.
i also can’t believe there’s rooibos in here (and tons of it)….i don’t even taste it!
what an absolute treat. i can see why this got so many positive reviews. thanks, steepster!

Lemon pastry! Cake! Buttercream icing! Mmmm!
There’s no icky, medicinal rooibos taste here. The lemon is not tart or sour—it’s smooth, and it’s paired with a soft, creamy vanilla flavor. It’s a little drying on the tongue but I have no real complaints. I tried Lime Chiffon right before this, and this one lacks that distinctly citrus note. It’s more like lemon candy or lemon cake than actual lemon. That’s fine with me though! I expected lemon pastry and that’s what I got.
I can’t help but wish there was a version of this with white tea. Maybe black tea. Though it’s nice to have something caffeine-free before bed, it lacks a certain depth of character that belongs only my beloved camellia sinensis!

I find it interesting reading others reviews of this and the lime chiffon. People generally think they’re both okay, but definitely prefer one over the other.
I didn’t notice until you pointed it out, but that seems right! I actually preferred the lime to this one. It was a little less artificial. It looks like most people prefer lemon, though…
I loved the lime one hot. I have some I cold steeped in the fridge that I plan on having later today.
Backlog from last night! I got this tea as a swap from Ost. I wanted to purchase it when I made my order, but they were sold out of the 1 ounce packages and I didn’t want to buy a larger quantity not knowing if I would like it. The dry tea looks like mostly rooibos with some flower petals (Della Terra loves those) and some dried citrus peel. I have no idea what the leaf smells like because the resealable bag that it’s in smells strongly of S’mores (the other tea Ost sent me). I brewed 1.5 tsp for 3 minutes.
The brewed tea smelled lovely – like sweet lemon pudding and meringue. Yum yum yum! The taste followed suit. It’s light, sweet lemon at first, with the lovely addition of vanilla. There’s definitely a creaminess that I could associate with pudding and the vanilla kind of translates to meringue for me. The one thing I didn’t get from this was crust, but that’s okay with me. There was a nice lemony aftertaste. Honestly, the flavors were all nice, but this tea came out a bit weak for me. I have enough for a small cup so I’ll try it with a longer steep time for me, and see if that helps. Holding off on the rating until then!

I wanted to like this…just can’t get past the rooibos :/
I didn’t really notice a ton of a rooibos flavor, but that’s the reason I only steeped it for 3 minutes.
Weird that you thought it was weak, it was strong for me. And I usually just use 1tsp. Should have doubled the zip lock on the S’mores…didn’t even think about it. >< I actually thought this tea was stronger, smell wise. So weird.
It’s strong for me when I let it steep for 7+ minutes.
KiwiDelight I have enough left for a 4 ounce cup or so. I’ll make sure to do at least 5 minutes. I’ve just had long steeps make the rooibos overpower in my past experience.

I’ve been drinking this a whole lot more lately. I don’t know why, but I’ve totally been craving that creamy lemon flavor this tea has! It’s just soo good!
Kinda nervous about the whole DTT “closing”, they just kinda seem sketchy about the whole deal. :S But they were selling off some of their stock the other day and I got to buy 4oz of this tea, for like 14 bucks! :O
I don’t know why on earth I didn’t stock up on this one during the BF/CM sales! I stocked up on literally everything else, EXCEPT this tea. I’m an idiot…
But Super stoked I had the opportunity to get more!
Wow, and here I was just wondering what’s been going on with them!
They said that they are switching management and that they are clearing out their stock so they can start fresh I guess…they said they should re-open by September…Hope so!
what does chiffon mean?
haha that was you that managed to snag that? hahaha
Oh yeah…I have stocked their page ever since they said that they were doing their clearing out sale, Sil XD I think I’ve been getting on their nerves, haha!
Did you want some? I have a decent amount, I can totally send you some whenever we actually do a swap! Ughh I’m taking forever-I’m sorry! XD We will do it at some point haha!
god lord don’t stress about swapping. I’ll have teas from paris at the start of may so there’s always that lol and i’d love some IF you’re ok with just setting some aside for me for “whenever”
Heh, well thanks for being cool about the swapping-I appreciate it! Maybe like by summer I’ll be well enough. I keep getting my hopes up on these meds…you’d think I’d learn by now xD
Oh well.
And yes, I will totally set aside some of it for you! I have no problem at all with that! :D Is that one that you really like?
I have a few other DTT teas that I have tons of now, so like…just let me know if you want any more of their teas because I definitely have a lot. xD
Aw, they are closing? Even if they restart I imagine their blends will be different. Where did you see the sale? I thought the site was down for a while.
ost, what does chiffon mean?
I’m not sure why I chose this one tonight being that most of my tea today hasn’t worked for me. I guess I was hoping something new might take me out of my slump. So weird I went for this one because I’ve been avoiding it… Lemon in tea… as a child it was my nemesis. You see, my dad, who always meant well has this idea that if he likes something, the everyone else should too… and wouldn’t you know that he liked to mix sweet tea and lemonade… Yuck! If both happened to be in the fridge at the same time it went something like this..
Dad: Have some tea and lemonade
Me: No thanks
Dad: Have some tea and lemonade
Me: I’ll take one or the other
Dad: They are better together
Me: No thanks, I’ll take just one
Dad: Here, try mine
Me: No dad, I’ve tried it before
Dad: But it’s better this way
Me: Fine.. (takes a sip)
Dad: See, you want some don’t you?
Me: Just some tea, thanks
Dad: You don’t know what you’re missing.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my dad dearly, he’s a great man. I’ve just never been found of lemon in my sweet tea and having had pressure to drink it that way was never a help.
EvaGrimm sent me this knowing I was wanting to stretch myself with citrus blends, & knowing I might full well dump it, Thanks for sharing it anyway!
Dry leaf it smelled of rooibos and lemon. Steeped it initially tasted of woodsy rooibos and lemon (kind of like dish soap smells). As it cooled it changed for me in a good way. It smells of a sweet lemony baked good, and tastes similar to a lemon pound cake with the lemon (not quite as strong as the cake normally is) and buttery goodness. I can still taste the rooibos in the blend, but only if I search for it. I did add my normal touch of sugar to add to the cakey flavor.
It has yet to be determined if I would order this or not. I think I prefer orange over lemon so far, but this one is stretching me again. I definitely enjoyed this much more than I thought I would.
Flavors: Butter, Lemon Zest
Herbal of the evening. I used my last bit of this tonight. It was so good. Lots of lemon flavor with a bit of creaminess. This one will be reordered at some point. I’ll probably pick it up when the vanilla mint tea is available again. Hopefully it’ll still be one of the holiday teas!
This is my last sample from Eva. I was saving this one for last because I knew I would love it!!. Thank you for sharing this one with me.
This is lemony and creamy and oh so good. What a great late night treat. It looks like they ran out of this at Della Terra for awhile. It is probably a good thing because I would have spent money I shouldn’t have to get some of this and the winter nog.
I’m in the same boat…it’s so delicious that I’m toying with the idea of purchasing more even though I don’t need any new tea at the moment. The 30% off deal is like a siren calling to me though…I have feeling that this ship may just crash. ;P
Their sales are killers… & I’m a sucker for a sale! So hard to hold back when I like most of what I get there, but then, I want to try other companies too.
I really liked this one too! One of the best lemon teas!!
i know! i was so impressed!!
