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.
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.
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?
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.
