The London Tea Company Zingy Lemon & Ginger - Reviewed by If Teacups Could Talk...Brand: The London Tea Company Flavour: Zingy Lemon & Ginger

Ingredients: Apple pieces, ginger (1.5%), lemongrass (10%), natural flavourings, rosehip, sweet blackberry leaf, citric acid, chicory root, lemon peel (1%)

Caffeine Factor: Caffeine-free Organic Ingredients: Unknown Price Range: £2.20 Bags Per Box: 20

Review: The smell of this is very hard to define. It's sort of like lemon sweets - maybe lemon sherbets or lemon drizzle cake - with just a hint of ginger.

The taste is confusing. First, you're hit with sweet apple. Then there's a hint of lemon. Then, in the back of the throat, you get bitter chicory root. Finally, as you reach the bottom of the cup, it becomes undrinkably sweet and artificial berry flavouring lingers in your mouth. There will be people out there who like it, but it wasn't for us. It's hard to know which palate this tea is aiming for. You can't really relax into it because it's doing too many different things that don't blend together into one experience. And for something that calls itself Zingy Lemon & Ginger, it's rather unforgivable that only 11.5% of the blend is actually lemon and ginger.
