Bigelow Tea I Love Lemon with Vitamin C Herbal Tea (Pack of 6) is a premium, high-potency citrus herbal tea bundle designed for a bright flavor pick-me-up and immune system support. Unlike standard lemon teas that can taste faint or synthetic, this blend utilizes real rosehips and lemongrass to deliver a robust, mouth-watering tartness.
What Comes in the Bundle?
- Quantity: You receive a bulk Pack of 6 boxes.
- Tea Bags Per Box: Each box contains 20 tea bags, giving the entire bundle a total yield of 120 tea bags.
- Signature Foil Packaging: Every single tea bag is individually sealed in Bigelow's airtight foil pouch. This crucial layer locks in the volatile citrus oils and protects the Vitamin C content from degrading due to exposure to air, light, and pantry moisture.
Key Ingredients & Functional Benefits
This tea stands out because it treats lemon as a bold, multi-dimensional flavor foundation rather than a subtle accent:
- Vitamin C Fortification: The standout health feature. Each brewed 8-ounce cup is fortified with an antioxidant boost of Vitamin C, helping to support daily immune health and combat oxidative stress.
- Rosehips & Hibiscus: These two botanicals make up the vibrant core of the tea. They provide a naturally deep, ruby-red color when brewed and give the tea its characteristic sharp, fruity tartness.
- Lemongrass & Natural Lemon Flavor: Sourced from high-quality botanicals to provide a refreshing, zesty, and crisp citrus top note that cuts through the tartness of the rosehips.
- Chicory Root & Peppermint: A touch of roasted chicory root adds a smooth, grounding body to the tea, while a hint of peppermint cleanses the palate on the finish.
Dietary & Quality Highlights
- Naturally Caffeine-Free: Because this is an all-herbal formulation containing zero actual black, green, or white tea leaves, it is 100% stimulant-free. It is a fantastic option for an evening wind-down or a soothing hot drink when resting through a cold.
- Clean-Label Standards: The recipe is free from artificial colors, artificial flavors, and preservatives.
- Certifications: Certified Gluten-Free, Non-GMO Project Verified, and Kosher Parve.
- Zero Sugar & Calories: Despite its intense, sweet-and-tart fruit profile, it contains 0g of sugar and 0 calories per serving.
How to Prepare It
To properly extract the robust fruit flavors and active Vitamin C:
- Bring fresh, cold water to a rolling boil.
- Pour 8 fluid ounces of boiling water directly over 1 tea bag in a mug.
- Steep for 4 to 6 minutes. Because it relies on hearty rosehips and hibiscus, leaving the tea bag in for the full 6 minutes will result in a much deeper red color and a stronger, deliciously puckery citrus bite.
- Remove the bag. It tastes highly refreshing entirely unsweetened, but a stir of honey balances the natural tartness perfectly, mimicking a comforting hot lemonade.
🍹 Summer Iced Tea Tip: This specific flavor makes an incredible caffeine-free iced tea. Brew 4 to 5 tea bags in a quart of boiling water, let it steep for 10 minutes, stir in your preferred sweetener while hot, and chill over ice for a crisp summertime cooler.
