    Hi Claire, thank you so much for leaving us a review! Have you tried this cold brewed in lemonade, or with a squeeze of lemon & honey? We sometimes find that adds a little sweetness to this smoky blend! Happy sipping, and feel free to drop us a line at info@birdandblendtea.com anytime! :) Anna @ B&B
