Featuring the flavour of fresh lemon on rich Ceylon, Darjeeling, Keemun, and Nepal black teas, Lemon Tea is a welcome addition to our popular line of juicy, fruit flavoured tea blends. The sunny citrus flavour in this blend is uplifting and makes for a great cuppa when in need of an afternoon boost. A burst of fresh lemon is the first thing you will notice at first sip, enhanced and softened by herbal notes of lemon myrtle and rounded out by the black tea base.
Lemon Tea is excellent as a hot tea, but is also perfect brewed for a traditional iced tea. It can be enjoyed neat or with the addition of milk and sweetener.
Loose Tea Ingredients: black tea (Ceylon, Keemun, Darjeeling), lemon peel, lemon myrtle, calendula petals, natural and artificial flavouring

A great replacement for lemon spice Review by ['Mark']
Much like Philippa, I absolutely loved the old lemon spice, and was quite disappointed when it was discontinued. Fortunately, this new one rises to fill that hole beautifully. It hasn't got the spices of the old lemon spice, (unsurprisingly) but it's got a bit more body in the tea itself to help balance the brightness of the lemon. It's just a superb mix.

I was a fan of the Lemon Spice blend, which is no longer on offer, so I tried this. Bright, strong and very lemony with no artificial-flavouring overtones. The myrtle lends a little something to round out the flavours. Very refreshing for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up. Would be very nice iced, although I haven't done this myself.
Posted on 2020-08-24long time customer discovers new favourite... Review by Mary
I have been a customer of Murchies since the 70's and like most , have always had my favourite blends. But today I decided to try the new Lemon blend... I am in heaven. It is so lovely.... just the right amount of lemon tanginess and then the slight herbal backup of lemon myrtle with black tea.... I will enjoy this year round... <3

This may be my new favourite. It has a wonderful aroma. It is just as lovely when you taste it.

I was dedicated to Murchie's lemon spice tea and was devastated when it was discontinued. I waited in anticipation when I found out there was something in the works... and was delighted to find that this new tea has the same flavour and essence as the old flavour! It's hard to find a lemon flavoured black tea and this one ticks all the boxes! My go to tea in the morning.
Posted on 2020-05-13Too Good For My Own Good Review by Issy
Just tried this tea with a bit of stevia and macadamia nut milk. It tastes like a delicious lemon dessert from my childhood with notes of lemon (the fruit, not lemongrass or lemon balm), something reminiscent of a cake or tea biscuit, and nostalgia. Thanks to COVID-19, my summer job is likely cancelled, but that probably won't stop me from ordering an exorbitant amount of this tea. Absolutely delicious!

I'm not a fan of tea bags, but after having a cup, I have to say this one's a real keeper. It has a nice strong lemon aroma that really compliments the tea and tastes great.

Steeping the Best (Guide)
Different types of teas should be steeped according to certain times and water temperatures to bring out their best flavours. Use this guide as a starting point, and then experiment until you find the perfect brewing method for your favourite tea.
Based on approximately one level teaspoon (2.5 g) of loose tea or one tea bag per 6-8 ounce (180-240 mL) cup. For stronger flavour, add more tea. Brewing for longer may increase the strength of the tea, but will likely also cause bitterness.
Tea Bags vs. Loose Tea
While our tea bags and loose tea are crafted to match the same flavour profile, there are discernable effects between the two formats. Namely, the leaves inside tea bags is milled, making it much finer and a quicker brew, while loose tea can take a couple minutes longer to steep. Tea bags are very convenient, but loose tea can be more visually appealing and brewed with a reusable infuser.
- Tea bags: steep for 3 - 4 minutes
- Loose tea: steep for 4 - 5 minutes
General Steeping Temperatures
The table included here shows some general guidelines for steeping different kinds of tea. Be mindful that some teas, even two from the same category, will brew differently than others. In particular, our green-black blends will often have different ratios of green and black teas - the more green-leaning ones should be brewed at a lower temperature range. Experimentation is highly encouraged, as tea is very much a matter of personal taste.
Puerh and oolong teas are often steeped multiple times for a shorter period of time in smaller brewing vessels. This method creates a curious exploration of the tea as it unfurls, developing new flavours with each subsequent brew - often making for great social conversation.
If you're unsure, try steeping in the middle range for your tea type. If the result is too bitter, steep at a lower temperature or for a shorter time. If the result is flat, try a higher temperature.
