Another car in a train of new turmeric-based teas by Vahdam, "Turmeric Citrus Ginger Herbal Tea" takes "Turmeric Ginger Herbal Tea" and adds a little bit of citrus, but not by much. This makes it a little bit better, but not by much.

The aroma and flavor are basically identical to "Turmeric Ginger Herbal Tea" (already reviewed), but for a mild addition of a decidedly lemon-dominant fruit component. The website states that the fruit flavor is bergamot (orange); however, it tastes much more lemony to me. Perhaps if the bergamot were stronger and greater in quantity, as with some of the more robust Earl Grey black teas, it would taste less like mild lemon and more like a herbal ginger Earl Grey. That would make a truly intriguing and unique flavor profile, as this version serves as a proof-of-concept aiming a small step in that direction, hinting that such a blend actually may work well. Alas, the ginger here still is too dominant to make it more than a hair's width of deviation from "Turmeric Ginger Herbal Tea" as it rolls over tongue and down throat.
