This tea is a great mix of mild, peppery lemon and a hint of ginger. It's great with hot water, but if you want a creamy, lighter taste of lemon ginger, add milk to it. If you want your tea stronger, I suggest adding 2 teabags to hot water. The tea has a light, refreshing scent of lemon and ginger. (Doesn't smell like Lemon Pledge like another reviewer said.)
