Description
A refreshing twist to the classic tea with lemon, reminiscent of cold brews on hot summer days or a great big hug-in-a-mug on frosty winter mornings.

Every Lemon Drop is a perfectly sized individual portion for brewing throughout the day. Delightfully delicious infused as a hot or cold beverage. Each packet of this tea contains 4 individual lemon drop portions of approximately 5 grams each.
