Samurai Travelling Tea Box – Tea #34
There wasn’t a whole lot of this one left in the box so I was definitely worried that the cup would come out tasting thin, especially because so much of what was left was the large cut decorative citrus wedges that don’t typically contribute much flavour to the tea blend. However, this was a whole lot of sweet, bright and juicy tasting lime! Really in your face and vibrant/full of life. I liked it a lot!
Another tea from the box! This blend has that same fake lime flavor that lots of lime teas have, and I’m not a fan. So if you like other lime teas, it’s likely that you’d like this one. It wasn’t super chemically or anything. It was perfectly drinkable, just not to my tastes. Lime flavored food is fine, but I’ve only found one lime flavored tea that I like, sadly.
What was the one lime tea you liked?
It was just a bagged version, but Ahmad had a “Lime and Lemon Twist” that actually led with the lime flavor. Pretty good stuff; however, when I search now, it appears to be retitled “Lemon and Lime.” Hope they didn’t reverse the flavor profile, too!
That sounds good – I’ll have to keep my eye out for it!
The lime tea I like is key lime sublime from Tebella. It’s such a pretty tea with fun ingredients!
Okay, good to know!
I had to buy a tin of this on sale BECAUSE THERE ARE TINY BABY LEMON JELLY SLICES IN THE TEA. I love those jelly slices. I was dubious that there were even jelly slices in the tin, for a clearance tea. But then I spotted one and made sure to get one in the infuser! So it was a jelly slice, a big lemon slice (that looks like blood orange which is odd) and a whole teaspoon of other goodies. There are also supposed to be yogurt granules here which I didn’t spot too many of. Those would add a lovely layer to the flavor. I tried it once without a jelly slice, and the flavor did seem very tart, but tasting it with that jelly slice and it adds a much needed sweetener aspect. I’m not sure if it all melted in the first steep. So it’s tart and sweet. The lime flavor isn’t exactly authentic, which is too bad. But they needed to add the artificial lime because otherwise there are a bunch of lemon ingredients here, not lime. And the name is LIME. The blackberry leaves are noticeable and I never really like those in a blend…. the second cup was overpowering, to the point of tasting mostly like children’s vitamins. I love the novelty of this and it will be fun until I sip down the tin.
