Stock & Row – Lemon Tea

Cider Profile:

Name: Stock and Row – Lemon Tea
Sampled January 2024

Cider Crate Tasting Notes:

Smell: Light aroma. Sour apples. Tea elements.
Initial Taste: Light bite from carbonation. Lemon tea forward with a semi-sweet dessert-based apple that has some brightness to it. Bit of bittersharp elements that match the bitter lemon. Tea is upfront but also remains in the aftertaste.
After Taste: Apple reduces with a slight coating mouthfeel. Finishing mostly with a dry tannic tea element.
On ice: Slightly less flavour, including lemon.

Additional Notes:  Stock & Row’s Cold Tea is a blended tea, apple and hints of lemon cider.  Light in body and smell, it’s mostly tea focused. Apples, which are minimal, have a blend of bright, sharp and dessert apples. Tea is dominant upfront, with a bitter lemon body, finishing with a traditional dry tea aftertaste. Quite dry. Very close to a Arnold Palmer lemonade-iced tea blended drink.
