Citron Green

Description

Green tea from China with the delicate flavors of lemon and lime. A happy marriage of great taste and proven health benefits. Just the right touch of citrus flavors-lemon and lime- to liven up the cup. Makes a light and refreshing drink that's popular both hot and iced. If you are new to green tea, this lightly flavored tea may be a good place to start.

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.

"what an amazing flavor for a green tea! Just the right amount of citrus with just the right amount of grassy green tea! I'm traditionally a black tea drinker and this is a very nice tea! I will certainly re-order this one."

"The tea smells wonderful in the tin. However, I liked it much less when I brewed it."

"I am a black tea drinker and I am searching for a green tea that is to my liking. This citron green is one of the better green teas I have tried to date. I enjoyed the citrus notes which paired well with the green tea flavor."

"I love everything about this tea. The strong citrus aroma, which translates nicely into flavor on the mid palet and backend. Easily my favorite Adagio tea, and one that I can enjoy at any time of day."
