Review: Once brewed, these pyramid bags smell strongly of the three eponymous ingredients. When you first take a sip, your mouth fills with lemon and ginger.  However, going down the throat, all you can taste is honey.  This makes it quite sweet, with a powerful after-taste, a bit like drinking Werther's Originals.  It's a struggle to identify any of the other flavours that supposedly go into this tea, though.  For example, we definitely can't taste any rosehip or chicory.  It seems overloaded with ingredients, with no distinctive flavour apart from 'sweet'.

It's not really our 'cup of tea', but we can see why others might like it - so if you like that honey flavour in your hot drinks, you might want to check this out.  It's going to be good for sore throats, too, so it may be worth trying if you're feeling a bit poorly.  The sweetness also makes it an option after lunch, to avoid snacking, and the ginger makes it a decent wake-up drink.

Best time of year to drink this: Any time, if you like this sort of drink.

Best time of day to drink this: Mornings and after meals.
