Goldfinch Lemon

Goldfinch Lemon is a lovely citrus blend with a Keemun Black tea as a base. After steeping 🫖 for 5 mins at 205 degrees, this aromatic blend was perfect for a sunny ☀️ afternoon with a warm breeze. I added a touch of creamed honey 🍯 for sweetness and it was a smooth and bright sip.

I did indulge in a bit of cranberry shortbread with my cup of tea since I really enjoy the citrus and tart flavors. Admittedly, I am not one that enjoys lemon flavored teas, but this balanced blend has natural lemon flavors that do not overpower the tea and with just a bit of honey 🍯, is easily something I look forward to enjoying again soon. I could easily see this as an iced tea staple for summer afternoons in the garden.

✨Support a great cause through the purchase of this blend. Birdsong tea pledges to donate 20% of its sales to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation.✨

In 2000, when she was just 4 years old, Alex held a lemonade stand in her front yard in Philadelphia, raising $2,000. Alex was battling neuroblastoma and wanted to donate the money to help doctors find cures for all children battling cancer. This was the beginning of the Alex Lemonade Stand Foundation.

Birdsong has created Goldfinch Lemon tea as a tribute to Philadelphia, Alex’s hometown, and where you can often see Goldfinch. 🫶🏼

Gold Finch Lemon from Birdsong Tea is a blend of organic black and green rooibos with invigorating citrus flavors of lemongrass, lemon peel, and lemon Myrtle leaf.

Whether one wants to serve it hot or over ice, it provides great citrus flavors that really pack a punch.

I have always loved lemon in tea given its health benefits including enhanced hydration, digestive support, and a boost to the immune system. And this blend is certainly no different.

From the packet it holds a fresh but clean scent of citrus with the tangy notes of lemongrass being most prevalent. I prepared mine in 200 degree filtered water and let it steep for approximately four minutes which resulted in a fresh but herbaceous flavor with a cooling but distinctly spicy lemon taste.

This is one that would make a phenomenal iced tea or as an addition to an Arnold Palmer. I can also see adding a shot of lavender simple syrup to this for a truly refreshing summer drink.

It is a must have for those fellow lovers of citrus tea blends and will certainly go on my reorder list in the future.

Birdsong’s Goldfinch Lemon! This tea is refreshing and comforting in one sip!

The leaves are a beautiful dark black tea leaf with colorful bits of green rooibos, lemongrass and calendula leaves. It smells fresh, sweet and citrusy. Once brewed it has a darker yellow color with an amber tint. Once steeped you can smell the beautiful aroma of citrus and a light floral scent. The taste is a bold black tea body that is lifted with sweet citrus and green rooibos to round and mellow out the cup. This is a delightful cup to enjoy anytime of day, in any weather, hot ot iced! Yum!

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved Birdsong’s Goldfinch Lemon. I’m usually not big on lemon in tea. It’s bright and citrusy, with a clear lemongrass note that lifts the flavor without overshadowing the smooth black tea base.

There’s still a nice maltiness, softened by the fresh lemony lift. A little green rooibos and lemon myrtle add depth, but everything blends in a way that feels light, not too herbal. I enjoyed it both hot and cold brewed.

A portion of the sales from this tea go to Alex's Lemonade Stand for Childhood cancer which is a cause near and dear to the hearts of the owners.If you’re like me and usually hesitate on lemon teas, this one is worth a try.
