With the first brewing I could detect a lime scent, but it was fairly subdued. The citrus flavors are even more muted when drinking. They did seem to smooth out the black tea for me, but not enough. I would have appreciated a brighter tasting cup.
There's a hint of bitterness at the end, though it wasn't intense. This drink is made notably more drinkable with cream added.
Inside the bag the tea was a fine dust, which no doubt lead to the quick diffusion of the tea for both steeps. You really don't have to steep this one more than a couple minutes to get plenty of the flavor.
I can really feel the caffeine, so if you're needing a drink to wake you up, this will certainly do that.
Glad I tried it and it's better than some black teas, but ultimately it's not for me.
