Comments about Teavana Mate Lemon Blast Herbal Tea:

I was slightly disappointed with this tea as compared to it's peers here, but it's an overall good tea. Compared to the other Mate teas here, I would rate this one 4th of four. The lemon flavor is sharp, and the lasting flavor is not as smooth as others. I've tried this tea alone and mixed with several other teas and I have yet to find a good blend for it.

Comments about Teavana Mate Lemon Blast Herbal Tea:

To me, this tea is really hit or miss. It either comes out great, or ends up tasting like grass. Does the trick in the morning though, and I usually end up blending it with something.

Comments about Teavana Mate Lemon Blast Herbal Tea:

I love this Mate! I have a friend from Argentina, so I am a Mate enthusiast. I do not recommend drinking before bed (soothing as it is) because it contains a substance (the name escapes me) that has similar effects to caffeine, though it is not caffeine exactly. I drink this tea after my classes are done for the day to put just enough pep in my step to get my homework done.

Comments about Teavana Mate Lemon Blast Herbal Tea:

This tea is a staple in my collection, I mix it in to almost every morning pot of tea I drink. I don't enjoy it on it's own though, the flavor is just not for me, but mixed in with any other tea it adds a wonderful subtle touch of lemon while boosting the tea in to a coffee substitute.

Comments about Teavana Mate Lemon Blast Herbal Tea:

I drink this tea every morning! I'm a college student working my way through school, so I don't usually get enough sleep, but this helps to keep me awake during all those snooze-inducing lectures. It's a little light on flavor, but in a nice way. It's easy to drink early in the morning. I also find the smell really appealing, and I always pause to take a good whiff whenever I open the tin. I've gone through almost 6 ounces of this in less than 3 months, so I think it's almost reorder time!

Comments about Teavana Mate Lemon Blast Herbal Tea:

This is one of the most satisfying, soothing, and invigorating teas I've had ever...over the last year, has become a favorite as a pick me up or an awesome alternate to coffee to start day. Fantastic flavor, I don't think it needs anything, although if you are in a sweet mood, honey does compliment the lemongrass flavor.

Comments about Teavana Mate Lemon Blast Herbal Tea:

I'm not usually a flavored tea drinker, but found this mate' quite pleasant. Sharp citrus top notes, but with a well rounded, mouth filling vegetal body. Others' problem with bitter aftertaste may be due to over brewing- I didn't experience that.

Comments about Teavana Mate Lemon Blast Herbal Tea:

I love this choice but have to agree with some people in it does need a little something extra to sweeten. I usually put just a dab of honey in mine and it becomes amazing! Also I have noticed the longer I let it steep (10 minutes) the better the lemon flavor gets.

Really nice caffeinated tea if you love asian flavors. The lemograss is wonderful. I wish there was a tea which combined kaffir lime with lemongrass...

I love mate. This combination is refreshing. I prefer organic teas. The only downfall of this tea is that it does not come in organic form.

 
Best blended with other teas
By BW from Dracut, MA on 11/25/2008

Tea Flavor:
Citrusy, Grassy, Vegetal
Pros:
Great Aroma
Cons:
Tastes like grass

Comments about Teavana Mate Lemon Blast Herbal Tea:

I bought this tea because I needed something caffeinated, but wasn't terribly fond of the Mate Vana, figuring I'd like a lighter flavor better.

To put it bluntly, by itself, it tastes like hay.

I found it much more tolerable when mixed with a fruitier tea like Caribbean Breeze.

Depending on your own personal tastes, I think this is just one of those teas that you really need to blend with something else if you want it for the caffeine.

Comments about Teavana Mate Lemon Blast Herbal Tea:

well out of the 3 teas i purchased online i would say this is the best. (this / moroccan mint / 9 treasures)

the reason i don't care for this tea is because of its smell. it gives me a head ache.

it does have a good & different taste. but it does seem to give a sum-what bitter taste right after i take a drink.

it is a bit to strong for me too. maybe i am just not a lemon grass person.

Comments about Teavana Mate Lemon Blast Herbal Tea:

This mate is wonderful when steeped correctly. I haven't experienced any bitterness while sipping the it. It's a very strong lemony flavor, and I'm surprised that I like it as I don't normally enjoy lemon tasting teas. It's very smooth and not at all bitter!

It's also good when mixed with other flavors-I've mixed with peppermint, and/or roobios tropica. Adding a touch of rock cane sugar is also tastey.

Comments about Teavana Mate Lemon Blast Herbal Tea:

A little disappointed in this tea which was a surprise. I've tried different steeping times, used ice to cool water, but still bothers my stomach. I enjoy making a full tea pot while sipping my tea, and I cannot do that with this.
