Our Review
It is hard to find a flavored tea that starts with a good Darjeeling tea as the base. So Mike decided to make one and it came out to be a light and delicious tea. It was only fitting to to give it the Hindi name for lemon: Nimbu.

lovely, and different
Average Review:

This is a terrific flavored tea. I had been a lifelong Earl Grey afficionado, but switched to Nimbu several years ago. The hint of lemon is perfect.

The flavors are added, as is clearly stated in both the on-line description and the tin. Don't know why an earlier reviewer deemed this to be "not drinkable," especially since so many of us do so with pleasure!

Good Round Flavor
Average Review:

All around a decent tea. It has a round body but is not brisk. It has a clean almost dark tart cherry finish and a subtle hint of citrus. It is very smooth and clean but not entirely distinctive.

Just a sniff brings a smile to my face

Horrible
Average Review:

I was unpleasantly surprised to find that this Darjeeling tea is an artificially flavored tea. I guess it is my own mistake by not reading the description carefully enough before ordering, but honestly, I thought flavored teas belonged under the flavored section and not under Darjeeling. I will be more careful next time; this tea is not drinkable.

This tea makes me happy!
Average Review:

Light, smooth and flavorful. The caramel is a wonderful balance to the lemon and has a very natural aroma - not heavy or artificial. It has good body and a clean finish.

Our favorite tea!
Average Review:

This is my husband's and my very favorite tea. There is no other tea like it elsewhere. The hint of caramel gives it a unique taste. We regret that it is no longer availabe in tins and, therefore, no longer availble at our local store. We know other tea lovers who miss this item in the store. It was not in Harney & Sons latest catalog. Please continue to include this tea in your catalog, so that others may get the chance to experience this incredible tea. This tea's body, briskness and aroma are in a class by themselves.

Excellent anytime tea
Average Review:

The combination of flavors is not normally something I would go for, as caramel isn't my favorite. But I tried it on a whim, and I've been nothing but pleased. Neither the lemon or the caramel is overwhelming, but instead blend into a very nice mix.It's a nicely mild tea, needs no sweetener, although it does also taste good sweetened.I start every day with at least one cup - it's taken over my delicious English Breakfast as my start the day tea, and I'll frequently make myself at least another couple of cups during the day. I'd love to see it as one of the HT Tins.

Unique blend, wonderful taste
Average Review:

I first tried the Indian Nimbu about a year and a half ago and instantly fell in love with the tea. I have never found another blend of tea that tastes like the Indian Nimbu. It is the favorite tea my wife and I like to drink I like to drink. Keep up the good work.
