Here's tea number 2 from a company that seems to be the Polish version of Lipton. Here's the thing about green tea from companies that aren't Asian; they have a statistically higher chance of being sub-par in terms of tea quality. There are exceptions (Dilmah, which has a delightfully warm and full-bodied green tea), but I'm not surprised if people dislike green tea after only having the Euromerican version. Plus they're adding lemon to it, which I'm just going to say it, lemon kills off a lot of green tea flavor. Lemon is often used to disguise bad tea from being bad, it replaces an acid found in tea with a tastier acid. People always add it to tea, but if you have a good tea, you don't need to add it. But enough of my ranting, let's try the tea.
Outsides: It's your average medium gold green tea color and...how can i put this? The tea smells like lemon Pine-Sol. It's way too....citrusy to smell natural.
Insides: The lemon flavor kills it. The tea isn't horrible tasting, mostly sweet with very little bitterness. It's your average drugstore tea. But dear gawd, that lemon flavor is overkill. You could probably mop up your floors with that stuff and expect a nice lemon scent afterwards. It's really too much, and I've had this open for a while.
Overall: I guess if you REALLY like lemon, give this a try. But for the average person, stay away and stick with something else.
My Rating: Pass. Here's a site: Loyd Green Tea Lemon
