Flavored chamomiles can vary a lot in quality, so I figured going in that this blend would have either too little citrus (lemon), rendering it a meekly flavored chamomile, or so much lemon that the chamomile was a distant whisper. Amazingly, they were well-balanced! This was especially true in the aromas, which were remarkably consistent from dry bag to cup to wet bag. However (ain't there always a "however," however?)...

My main and nontrivial disappointment with this tea was its overall flavor weakness, which comes directly and obviously from lack of more product in each bag. The bag was less than 1/4 full when dry, and around 1/3 full when wet. Lame! While irritating, that also means the solution is simple: put twice as much of the same product in each bag. Unfortunately, that counters the prevailing trend toward "shrinkflation" in consumables of all types, so don't hold your breath waiting for Bigelow to do the one brutally straightforward thing that fixes this tea's problem. Double the content!
