Review: Zone 8 Honey Lemon Tea
Zone 8 is an Illinois-based company looking to bring high-end bottled tea to the masses. It launched on Kickstarter this summer, and though it didn’t meet its funding goals, its future seems unclear.
The company is making one expression — Honey Lemon — at present, with seven potential ones to come.
This is a blend of black tea, white clover honey, and organic lemon juice. It’s a product that expresses itself piece by piece rather than all at once. The attack is very sweet, with distinct honey notes. The tea — dense and earthly — follows, then comes the lemon. The citrus has a bit of an orange character to it — almost like Meyer lemon. Sweetness returns, almost as a hint, for the finish. It’s easy to like, though I think it’s a bit over-flavored; I’d like the tea component to shine through a bit more clearly.
