Review: Just looking at the ingredients list, it's clear that this may be a tea intended for women.  The scent is lemony and floral, like taking a stroll through the winding roads of Provence.  It's gently pleasant.

However, the drinking experience is a bit odd.  It's instantly mouth-freshening - so much so that it makes your mouth water...and then it just won't stop.  You're practically drooling after half a cup.  Then you have to deal with the lemongrass aftertaste - never nice.  Although a natural plant, lemongrass always tastes strangely artificial, like lemon sweets made with aspartame.  Plus, so many flowers in one blend cancels out the individual flavours and creates a strong taste of soap, instead.

It's also worth noting that we can't taste any of the other flavours.  Papaya?  Not there - and we don't want that sugar added to the mix!  We don't consider this one worth the price.  There is definitely such a thing as too many flavours in one cup, and this is a prime example.

Best time of year to drink this: Spring, if you must

Best time of day to drink this: After a heavy meal, presumably - let's say after lunch - and in the morning, because of the inclusion of ginseng (a natural energy-booster)
