New Updated Recipe
In April 2026, Lemon Chiffon was updated due to changes in ingredient sourcing. The lemon and vanilla profile remains, with a few adjustments to the overall balance. If you’ve enjoyed this tea in the past, we recommend starting with a smaller bag to experience the updated version.

Tasting Notes: creamy vanilla + bright lemon

Description:  In this popular blend, lemon and vanilla balances with rich pu'er tea to create a full-bodied tea that is smooth and satisfying.  Earthy pu’er tea is the perfect backdrop to bright lemon and creamy vanilla. 

This bestselling tea is lovely either hot or iced for a feel-good treat.  Add milk of choice and sweetener to create a lemon chiffon pie flavor.  

What is pu'er tea?  The medicinal properties present in pu'er teas are what set them apart. They're known to be powerful digestive aids, can ease stomach issues, are natural detoxifiers, may aid in weight-loss, may ease anxiety, and are said to lower both blood pressure and cholesterol.

Pu'er is an aged and fermented tea that is produced in the Yunnan province China. This ancient tea is now beloved all around the world. It was inadvertently created on the Tea Horse Road, an ancient trade route that spanned from China to Tibet. The thousand mile trade route navigated through mountains with harsh conditions. During the journey, it was found that tea leaves were altered by moisture, varying temperatures, and sunlight exposure. These natural conditions resulted in a fermentation and aging process of the tea. This process created a tea with unique taste profiles and particular health benefits. Nowadays, pu'er tea is deliberately aged and fermented to re-create the tea that was crafted while on the Tea Horse Road.

Ingredients: pu'er tea, lemon, vanilla, cornflowers

Steep Directions: steep 1-2 heaping teaspoon of tea per 8 oz boiling water, 205-212°F, for 3-5 minutes

Kevin Z. ★★★★★

The updated recipe really smoothed out the lemon flavor—it’s less sharp now and blends nicely with the vanilla. I’ve been drinking it daily since the new batch arrived.

John F. ★★★★★

The lemon and vanilla balance in this new recipe is spot-on—bright but not tart. I was worried the ingredient sourcing change would mess it up, but the flavor actually feels cleaner. A perfect afternoon cup that doesn't need any sweetener.

John ★★★★★

The updated recipe still keeps that bright lemon note, though the vanilla sits a little softer in the background now. I brew it around 200°F for about three minutes and it stays smooth without any bitterness. Been drinking this every afternoon for two weeks and the tin's already getting low.
