Decaf Citron Green

Description

Green tea from China, decaffeinated using a superior CO-2 process. The latter is all natural and gentle, allowing tea leaves retain their delicate shape and flavor. Flavored with zesty lemon and lime. Makes a tasty cup of tea, both hot and iced.

Story

Lemon, a common fruit these days, has a long and questionable history. Many countries claim to be its birthplace, including China, Malaysia, Iran, and the Indus Valley. The latter may win given the discovery of a lemon-shaped earring there, dating from 2500BC. In the second century of our era, lemons were grown in Libya and exported to Rome. There is even a picture of lemon in the mosaic at Pompeii. Lemon's popularity grew during the Middle Ages, when it was called upon to spice up bland meals. And, in an usual twist (ha-ha) lemons were used by the ladies in the court of Louis XIV to accent their lips with a touch of rouge.

"This is my favorite of the decaf green teas. The citrus flavor is very subtle, but it's there if you brew a strong cup. I like to use this as a base for mixing in some of the herbals."

"precisely what i'd expect from the name: a citron-infused tea with traditional green tea undertones. "
