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!

The dry tea smells like lemons and the first ingredient is lemongrass, so I was expecting a much more lemony flavor than I'm getting. The flavor is mostly chamomile with a sort of far-off whiff of lemon peel. I'm curious about the lemongrass because the flavor's normally more pronounced when it's an ingredient. It's almost like they specifically wanted something as filler, so they used stale lemongrass. The effect here is pretty much that there's just less chamomile in your cup.
The bit of citrus is nice, but I think I'd prefer a bit of lemon peel or oil with otherwise uncut chamomile. As it is, I feel like I'm only getting half of a normal chamomile tea bag.
I've had an opportunity to try a number of Steep branded teas over the last few days and I've been rather impressed with most of them, but this one's an exception.
