Well King Tut Lemonade, I am sorry, but move on over. Because this lemonade tea is ridiculously awesome.

I had it hot a while ago and it tastes like awesome hot lemonade. So I figured it would be awesomer as a cold brew. Brewed this for about 11 hours. It is definitely sweet lemonade. Slightly tart but just enough that it is still lemonade. It is sweet enough on its own so no sweetener needs to be added. Very juicy. Mmmmm. Delicious.

I think it will be a bit better iced, but I was too lazy so just cold brewed.

I got my flu shot today and have been crying about my sore arm, this tea is making it all better.

Worth purchasing? I was thinking of doing a McQuarries run sometimes before Halloween and am trying to decide on two or three new things to try…

The teas from McQuarries that I have purchased more than once are king tut lemonade, new York cheesecake, and orange blossom oolong. I also really like this one. I usually buy my izu matcha there as well. They usually have some neat and seasonal teas there. I like to go whenever I am in Toon Town.

King tut was tasty :)

Last time I went I wanted to get the King Tut just based on your reviews of it (and the fact I’m lacking a really good lemon tea), but the sales woman told me it had been discontinued. She actually seemed rather ticked off I’d asked about it by name, but it’s still listed on the website, so… my bad? The McQuarries teas I currently have are Ontario Ice Wine which I like but don’t love (and likely will NOT be buying again), and Genmaicha which I’m still undecided about.

That’s sad if it is discontinued. The last time I was there I bought 500g of it, but that was a while ago. I can send you a sample if you want.

Roswell Strange

I’d love a sample, but only if you can spare it. Since it’s discontinued I wouldn’t want to be taking away from your stockpile of it. Is this one anywhere close to as good in your opinion?

Lala

It is hard to compare this lemonade tea to the king tut lemonade because they are different in taste. King Tut is fresh squeezed real puckered mouth lemonade. This one is much more of a blunted and sweet lemonade. I really like them both. Tonight I like this one better than the king tut but it is close.

I am a lifetime tea lover.

I did foray into the world of coffee for a period of time, but I returned to my true love. I still, however, enjoy a good cup of java.

My all time favorite tea is Earl Grey, which I drink every morning, the stronger the bergamot the better. I definitely prefer natural oil of bergamot to artificial flavouring.

I mostly like black and dark oolong teas. My current favs are Fujian blacks, Keemun and Assams, and Wuyi oolongs. I gravitate towards anything with lychee in it. I also drink a lot of herbal blends but am wary of hibiscus. I do not favour mate, or pu’erh tea, although I have found a few blends that I like. (I so badly want to like straight pu’erh tea but it all tastes gross to me. I keep trying though). Rooibos, green and white teas fall somewhere in the middle. I find myself gravitating towards heavily roasted oolongs and teas from Paris/France based companies.

I love iced teas and cold brews.

My current tea goal is to make the perfect cup of chai from scratch – almost there…I think.

I am in love with the whole experience of tea.
