Hello again Readers!
Today I will be doing a review on a Korean hot beverage called Honey Citron Tea.
Just as a warning, I am unsure of the brand that produces this lovely hot beverage but I think the Label is pretty distinguishable if ever you want to look for it in an Asian grocery store.
This tea is a very intriguing tea, simply put.
It's not what most Western societies would consider tea, it looks remarkably similar to Marmalade and to taste it without mixing into boiling water you would definitely consider putting it on your morning toast ^__^
However, the instructions state to add 2-3 teaspoons to 80ccs of water, not quite sure how much that is in metric or imperial measures.
As for the taste, it is pleasant to drink and would probably be quite beneficial if you had a cold as this does say it has Vitamin C as an ingredients and quite possibly soothing for a sore throat as the citrus peel almost has a numbing affect.
It tastes mostly of citrus, the honey flavor isn't really there for me and it is sweetened already so no sweetener is needed, which earns a slightly minus score because you cannot add honey to make it taste more Honey-Citron flavored.
It does actually have pieces of citrus peel, this is a plus for me as I like it and it's a nice little surprise at the bottom of the cup, though if you are not a fan of this you might not enjoy this feature at all.
A portioning of 500g, I'd say is a little disappointing for the steep cost of $7.20 *__* and you may want to only use 2 teaspoons per serving instead of 3 like I have been, and not have more than one serve a day XD it runs out pretty quick this way.
I have to admit I am very much a fan of this Honey Citron despite the lacking of honey tastes, and I find it great during the cold Winter days, specially after being caught out in the rain.
This purchase is perhaps a 6/10 because overall the product it's self is good but the pricing is a little high.
However if you do find it, and feel the experience outweighs the cost give it a try :)
Until next time, Have fun and be well!
-Eerie.
It looks like it is Sang Yuzu Lime Honey Citron Tea. The cost for 1000g is almost half the price per gram than the 500g over on Rakuten.
ReplyDeleteAs for the conversion on 80ccs, it is 80mL (a cc is an ML) or 2.7 fl oz.
