★★★★★

Love this tea! It isn't grassy at all and the citrus is noticable but not overpowering. Also makes great tea after the second steep.

It's second to Lemon Meringue, but I can't get that one year round for some unknown reason. It's a decent green tea. It has grown on me in the absence of LM!

★★★★★

Highly recommend, would definitely buy again. it has a great citrus flavor perfect for any time of year. This is in my green rotation, I switch between this one, Sleeping Dragon, and Jasmine Yin Hao so that I can have some variety.

This is the citrus green tea that I have been looking for, for years. A coffee shop in door county, wi used to serve a citrus green like this and I didnt ask the brand. I love this tea iced and have already restocked.

Love this combo! The citrus really livens up the blend both in taste and in fragrance. I brewed it in combination with fresh tangerine pieces and it was delicious.

This is one of the first green teas I purchased from Adagio Teas many years ago. When I opened the pouch the first whiff is lemony and floral. Very refreshing and I enjoy it in late morning and early afternoon. 180 F for 3 minutes.

This is a beautiful, fragrant green tea. Its citron (aka Yuzu) note is lovely and made stronger by the addition of a bit of yujacha to sweeten, just my preference.
I've been enjoying this as my daily wake up cup since receiving and find it so soothing to start the day with. :)

Another winner from Adiago Teas. I am searching out new green teas and bought samples of several ones to Try. Thanks

★★★★☆

Good but needs more citrus , mild taste but still refreshing

★★★☆☆

Decent, but a bit weak on the citrus. Not my absolute favorite, but not too bad either

This citron green made a pleasant and nice smelling cup with enough caffeine to provide a bit of afternoon boost. I enjoy a citrus flavor in my tea, and the citron was a little different than traditional lemon.

4 min steep · 200°F

★★★★★

A light green tea with citrus notes and finish. Delicious and delightful. Will be ordering more. Really enjoyed this tea.

★★★★★

Really enjoy this green tea. The flavor of orange and lemon are subtle. And are not distracting from this nice light tea. Good late afternoon or evening tea.

★★★★☆

Citron Green tea has a pleasant summer feeling that vibes with it. The citrus shines through but doesn't overpower the green tea. Nice balance

★★★★★

I bought this tea on a hunch.
It packs a powerful punch!
I wouldn’t steep twice, it wasn’t as nice, but I’m loving this tea quite a bunch!

3 min steep · 185°F

★★★☆☆

I am not a real fan of most green teas and this one falls into that category. It is ok but I know there are teas out there that I like much better. Most hot teas that I drink - honey and cream are added. In this case the additions left very little room for the tea to shine through. Perhaps if you like tea plain it would be fine. When I open the package the aroma of orange stands out.

★★★★★

A fresh, citrusy green tea. Tastes great both iced and hot.

If you’re looking for a citrus , this is for you. Nice flavor.

Citron green has just that - a bit of lemony/lime to it. I add a tinge of the ginger tea to make it a bit zingy. Always tasty.

I was not a fan of this tea. The citrus was overpowering.

I've always loved citrus in tea, this does not disappoint. This Citron Green is very tasty chilled. I find it light, refreshing, and pleasant without a green grassy taste.

The citrus doesn't overpower the green tea, it's a lovely compliment instead. I was honestly concerned it was either going to cover up the green or dissappear completely. This will be going into the list to pickup at some point.

★★★★★

A lovely refreshing lemon green tea. The lemon was light and not over powering.

★★★☆☆

Meh -nice, light flavor. mildly green mildly citrus. i like stronger things generally.

★★★★☆

I like this more than I ought to (should avoid orange), the green is light, the citrus is bright... it's great warm and surely a fabulous iced option!

The packet has a very nice orange aroma. It has a very light citrus taste, a little too light.

Gonna pick this one up later in a bigger bag so I can try it with sugar and maybe iced/cold brewed. Today's CT pack I drank hot without adding anything and loved it. Definitely get the lemon and orange flavors and the aroma somehow hits like notes even though I see no lime on the list. I don't have enough experience with marigold to say I can pick it out specifically. The thing I like with this one is getting green tea without the grassy flavor for a change. Sometimes grassy notes are welcome, but with citrus I am glad it takes a break. On second steep and while a little fainter it is still good. 180° 3 min, then 4 for second steep

I love the freshness of this tea. It’s very good. I’ll be adding this to my favorites list

This tea is far too light for me. Even after steeping for five minutes I found it to have very little flavor. I added some orange slices and some agave syrup, let it sit for a while to give it some added citrus flavor.

It's fragt6amd really nice. I did enjoy it both without and with sugar, it was so nice.

★★★★☆

CommuniTEA sample: 2 min @ 180 F, second cup for 3 min @ 180 F. For some reason, despite liking green tea and citruses, I feel like I don't appreciate them as much when blended together. That being said, I think this one had a fairly good flavor balance! I don't really get any lime from it, but I do definitely taste the orange, the lemon, and the green tea itself. The green tea is the weakest of all of them, but it is there, at least a little bit. It's not super grassy, but it is very fresh, and it pairs well with the sweet and slightly tart orange and lemon. I do find some herbal flavors emerge as you mix citrus and green tea together, but those only last for a brief second, and everybody who I've ever talked to about citrus and green tea has said it's just me, so it's probably just me!

This is great if you like lemony, flavored, green teas. The tea itself looks to be a good quality. I get it for family that likes flavored teas.

I wish this came through stronger. It was kinda weak, but the citrus was a nice background flavor.

So light and refreshing with the citrus flavor. Love it.

I used 4oz of water since most of my samples so far have turned out weak. I think maybe I should have used 5 oz and maybe seeped a little longer. It was refreshing and had a good citrus flavor. Definitely would be good as an iced tea in the summer or a good hot tea when you have a sore throat or something.

I really like this one ... Good warm or iced !!!

My go-to green tea for any occasion! I prefer the more mild citron flavor in this tea as compared to the citrus mint green that Adagio also offers.

This green tea is alright, but a little on the bitter side for me. I think I’ll stick with the citrus mint green, it’s sweeter and more flavorful to me.
