Pickwick Green Tea with Lemon - Tastes Healthy, but Average

Pickwick Green Tea with LemonDax: Pickwick Green Tea with Lemon reminds me of my wife's cooking; when you drink it, it makes you feel good.  It just has that healthy taste to it.  The green tea flavor collides with some lightly zesty lemon and you get a Pickwick tea that casts a shadow on others from the brand.  The opposite experience is like eating Burger King and trying to go skate, it's the Ginsu guarantee that you will feel like a mess.  The green tea is light and crisp (maybe cause its a bit cheaper) and the lemon doesn't overtwang your tongue.  I didn't think this was gonna be a daily drinker, but Pickwick tea said "I told you so".

Mike: Pickwick Green Tea with Lemon is a pretty average brew-ha-ha with pretty average grades in steepability, tasteability, and freshnessability. Lemon tea is a tough tea to pull off the right way and in my humble opinion, Pickwick has neither the teasanship, the experience, nor the steep-mastery required to blow the minds of said tea genre lovers. It's not bad but the lemonability tastes a little artificial and the base tea, as is always the case with Pickwick, lacks the freshness necessary to summit the Everest of Teasanship. Try your luck with a different lemon tea, son.
