This is the Guozi Shule Dou Dou Lemon Tea Lime, made with lemon and lime juice concentrate.
The beverage had a semi-translucent brown hue with an overly sweet, somewhat artificial lime aroma.
When consumed chilled, it opened with intensely sugary notes that mirrored the aroma, overwhelming the palate from the first sip. This sweetness persisted into the body, where an artificial lime flavour emerged—reminiscent of cooked lime juice, stripped of its fresh, zesty character. While a degree of tartness was present, it was smothered by the heavy-handed use of sugar, leaving an unbalanced profile. The finish was cloyingly sweet, with a lingering astringent aftertaste that detracted from any sense of refreshment.
Overall, this drink lacked balance, relying too heavily on sugar and artificial lime flavouring, resulting in an unrefined and unrefreshing experience.
This Guozi Shule Dou Dou Lemon Tea Lime contained 500 mL. It was produced in China and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2025.
