Being biased against lemon in general, I was surprised for the better by this tea, for the most part. I expected a sour product, given the flavor, ingredients (lots of lemony stuff and the hibiscus/rose-hips blend seemingly standard for fruit teas). Instead, in both scent and flavor, this presented a smooth, sweet version of lemon with a herbal edge. It was almost enough to turn me on to the possibility that a lemon tea could be quite good. Except...

Unfortunately it also tasted a bit antiseptic, and reminded me at times of lemon-scented Pledge furniture polish—particularly in the aftertaste. This effect wasn't enough to be continually offputting, but instead, fleeting whiffs or reminders every so often. It tastes like something I either could drink or use to clean wood floors. Maybe that's the "Tuscan" part, since in Tuscany there's a greater proportion of antique wood furniture and flooring than here. ;-)
