The dry tea is pretty enough, flush with petals. Scent wise, a slightly chemical citrus dominates.
Brewed, it smells a bit like citrus caramel, which makes me realize I’d really like to try a lemon caramel/lemon fudge tea in addition to all these more obvious lemon-ginger and lemon meringue combinations.
In terms of taste, it’s just a bland, non-descript vaguely floral/lemony rooibos. Not cardboardy at all, but with that hint of artificial flavouring Teavana (unfortunately) seem to have specialized in.
