   We drink a lot of fruit teas – mostly Twinings – and my favourite, having gone through the whole range is Lemon & Ginger. Since I drink close to a gallon a day (I am also a marathon runner and sweat a lot) I was looking for a somewhat cheaper ‘bulk’ option. The Adams & Russell order (we also went for the Red Berry) arrived very promptly. The tea isn’t a finely ground tea like the Twinings bags, but consists of larger lumps. Adding 90 degree C water (from a ‘boiling’ water tap) yields a good strong lemon scent reminiscent of that from a Lemon drizzle cake. The tea is cloudier than the Twinings equivalent but not unpleasant in look. The taste is overwhelmingly lemon, in fact I would be hard pushed to pick out any ginger at all. There is a good sourness to the taste with a hint of bitter and possibly a little ‘heat’ which may be the ginger. There is also a slight ‘tea’ flavour, more than from the Twinings fruit range. It is makes a reasonable drink, and if sold as a Lemon Tea I would rate it as 4 stars, but as a Lemon and Ginger blend it is a bit disappointing. In terms of value for money my guess is that it is slightly cheaper than the Twinings offering but not as the pounds per gram analysis might suggest since it requires a fair old dose to get a good flavour. So, good as a Lemon drink with the mildest hint of ginger.
