+Jody Livingston provides her take on Frasier's Mustache (version 1.0) and Mercedes' Citrus de Califia. As a result of her taste-testing, Frasier's Mustache has been reblended to add lemongrass on a permanent basis. Now they both have lemongrass in their blends. How cute. :-)
Frasier's Mustache v1.0: Tasty in an earthy, smokey way, but with a sharp bitter note at the end. It felt like there was a note missing so I tried adding a fruit note (cranberry), a floral note (lavender), and a lemongrass stick. The lemongrass stick smoothed out the bitter note without taking away the earthy smokiness. Good both hot and cold but I think this will make a nice tea for a winter night.
Mercedes Citrus de Calafia: Lovely, fresh, and light when hot. Better slightly sweet which makes the flavors pop. Over ice, it's like a refined Arnold Palmer. The tea is clean and bright and the citrus is soothing rather than sharp. I can't wait to try it on a really hot day. I suspect it will be gone quickly.
