Our Lemon & Lime Twist blend is a crisp, energising brew perfect for drinking all year round. Just as the name suggests, punchy lemon and lime add a satisfying citrus twist to our full-flavoured black tea blend.
We then add real lemon and limes pieces, plus our exclusive lemon and live flavouring, transforming the tea into a zesty, invigorating brew. It’s a much-loved tea among our customers worldwide and has been part of the Ahmad Tea collection for over 20 years.
You’ll find each teabag foil-wrapped for freshness, ensuring every brew is full of zingy flavours. Citrus fruits work well in many hot and cold recipes, and this tea’s no exception. Add hot water for a soothing afternoon pick-me-up, or enjoy as a refreshing iced tea on a sunny afternoon. To make a lemon and lime iced tea, simply steep the tea with sugar, then dilute. Serve with ice and a slice and you’ve got a sensational summertime brew.
