On a nasty snowy day, what better than a tea intended to taste like lime gelato? David's Tea's Lime Gelato Green Tea mostly succeeds in its aim. It's a gentle, light lime flavor, not overly fruity. There is a slight smoothness that suggests the creaminess of gelato. Apparently there's some sort of yogurt flavoring in here, which probably contributes to the cream note.
What it lacks is the tartness of a lime, the snappiness that you find in a good key lime pie. This is one of the few times that I'd like a little more fruitiness.
It's not bad. It's light and sunny and not overwhelmingly sweet or fruity. I give it a generally favorable, although not enthusiastic, recommendation.
