This isn't our favourite of them, but it's okay. It smells lemon-scented cleaner (that'll be the lemongrass), and the ginger makes your nose sting - but at least that means it's lived up to its name!
Drinking it, you get quite a gingery kick...but otherwise, not a lot of flavour. Despite the aroma, it's weirdly lacking in lemon flavour (apart from a bit of a 'soapy' taste). We brewed it a long time and it never seemed to develop. You feel it more than taste it. So, it's not bad. It's good for digestion, too (although steer clear of it if you're pregnant, because of the fennel). It's just that as a drink, we think Twinings have done better versions of this, like their Spiced Ginger or Ginger & Lime. Unfortunately, those seem to be harder to find in the shops - Ginger & Lime has even been taken off the market, and we can't understand why. After you've had that, these lemon blends can only disappoint.Best time of year to drink this: Summer
Best time of day to drink this: Morning / Afternoon, after meals (to aid digestion)
