Chinese green tea with the delicate flavors of lemon and lime. An Adagio favorite, refreshing hot and iced.

I generally love the lemongrass teas, but for some reason this one was lacking something. I gave it the benefit of the doubt though because the green tea is still very good, but the grassiness of the lemongrass is a little too strong--particularly after multiple brews.
I got two samples of this tea and I loved it. I have a big thing for citrus flavors, and this one felt infectious. It had a very strong citrus aroma, steeped as well as dry. I ordered teabags, but they turned out more green and less citrus. Not the same intensity as the samples. It doesn't make this tea bad. However, I'd love to buy this tea in the future, in hopes of it'll turn out more citrusy the next time.
Love it! Hot or iced! Very refreshing, I keep my cabinet stocked with this one!
I love green tea and the citron green is one of my new favorites!
Smells of citrus but has a mild taste I enjoy. I drink this one both hot and iced.
I usually like green teas. The cocomint green is one of my favorites. I thought this tasted like bad Chinese restaurant tea with no citrus flavor. I really love the fruity/citrusy flavors in the Green Rooibos Citron and was expecting something similar here. I was disappointed with this tea.
The citrus was very strong, which some may like more than others. Other than that, a pretty normal green tea.
I'm not a big fan of green tea, but this one was light and refreshing!
Light and citrus-y flavor. Makes for a great cup of tea!
The perfect morning cup to wake my body up! Love it!!
This is one of the best green teas I have ever drank. I'm always looking for a good green tea that has a little bit of something special in it. The Citron Green has hints of lemon and lime that makes it refreshing and very aromatic. I'll recommend this to everyone I can because it is just so great.
It's very citrus-y. It smells incredibly good and the taste is fantastic.
very mild flavour - smells crisp and citrusy but gladly the citrus flavour is very faint . A tea to relax with just before bed. (in fact felt pretty sleepy after finishing the cup, but that may have something to do with not sleeping last night)
Package recommends steeping for 5 mins. I guess I like my tea strong because the flavours really came out to me after 10 mins of steeping. Would order again.
This is the first Adagio tea I tried. I prefer iced tea and was nervous at first when it came out extremely light, despite using more tea than recommended in my brewer. However, the flavor was great and I really enjoyed this over ice. I purchased the large size of this one and have a feeling I'll be drinking it almost daily.
It was refreshing and had an interesting flavor. Different than other green tea blends I have had before.
This seems to be the same tea used in other flavored greens, like Earl Grey, but the Citron flavor doesn't do it for me. I much prefer Earl Grey.
This is a nice citrus tea, but it's quite light and not at all sour. I tend to mix it with the wild strawberry herbal and it is a great version of strawberry lemonade without the added sugar! I typically drink this iced/cold.
I was skeptical of this tea at first because I'm not particularly fond of green tea but it surprised me how much I loved this kind! The citrus flavor complemented the tea very well and now I feel more likely to order green tea in the future. This is definitely a good tea to try if you're unsure of how you feel about green tea.
This green tea is absolutely delicious. It's strong but you can still taste that great grassy green tea!
This tea was a little bit too weak for my tastes.
Lightly citrus (lime with a bit of orange) and refreshing green tea. It's rarely bitter and a favorite for everyone I've given them samples to. Perfect for a sunny and warm afternoon in its iced variety.
Great light flavor. Smells awesome and that orangy freshness transfers well to the flavor after a gentle brew.
My wife loves green tea, but I have yet to find one that I really liked until now. Seems to be a pretty high quality green tea with a very nice lemon/lime and orange flavor which compliments the tea without overpowering it.
This used to be my favorite Adagio green tea, but my last few batches have tasted different, kind of grassy and 'off', almost soapy -- it could be my water, or I might be brewing it wrong, or maybe I just got a wonky batch. I don't want to reduce my rating until I try it again, because I really did love it back in the day.
It actually reminds me of the black lemon soleil tea, just in green form. The green tea blends quite nicely with the lemon, producing a tea that's light, not grassy, and pretty tasty. The lemon and the green work well together, and it actually makes for a very tasty blending tea as well.
Is very light in color after brewing but great with a slice of lemon thrown in!
Really good tea. I blended it with the Berry Blast and it worked very well.
I adore this in the blends I've had it in--it's a fantastic base to build from, and it's wonderfully light when drinking it on its own.
This is a very nice green. nice blend of flavours.
I love this tea, and enjoy it iced in the summer. If you're expecting a strong green flavor you might want to pass as it has a lot of Citrus to it. It smells almost like fruit loops and the flavor is enhanced with a little sweetener.
This is hands down the best green tea I've ever had!
This was my first-ever green tea that didn't come out of a bottle. Big difference! Maybe green tea isn't so bad after all! This particular one smells a lot more citrusy than it tastes but that's okay because I think it tasted great. I added just a touch of sugar - I usually add a ton to my tea - and liked it just fine that way, surprisingly! It's quite earthy and a little hard to get used to but I definitely enjoyed it.
The addition of citrus flavor makes this green tea a delight even during the hotter months.
I didn't care for it much, so I gave it to a friend and they quite like it. :)
Oh my lands this is good!! This a wonderful green with nice citrus notes without tasting like I have been sucking on an orange peel. It's subtle and yet intense and complex. A favorite! Amazingly well done. Thanks Adagio!
I've addicted my friend to this. Just enough note of citrus to enhance a green tea. An excellent alternative for black tea lemon lovers seeking a lower caffeine alternative.
I love green tea, and this is a nice light flavored one. It smells a little strong in the bag, but it is the perfect blend of green tea and citrus.
Absolutely loved this tea plain or with lemon and a hint of honey. Personal fave green tea.
This is a nice, mild green tea. It has a great citrus flavor but nothing super special to it. I especially like it iced in the summer.
Very pleasant green tea. I found that waiting for it to cool off helped to bring the citrus flavor out a bit more.
Very, very good! I love this tea iced more than hot actually, but it's an absolutely delicious green tea. Calming with a bit of a kick so that it's not completely dull in the way some green teas turn out.
The aroma in the bag is very strong, but I was surprised at how light the citrus notes are when drinking the tea. It blends nicely with the vegetal green tea taste.
Very light, both in color and flavor. It's pretty good, but I was hoping for a bit stronger flavor.
My boyfriend's favorite. Excellent flavor, wonderful resteeps!
A very nice, light green tea. The citrus notes are subtle and there's almost a naturally sweet flavor to it.
So far, this is my favorite of the green teas I have tried. It is wonderful iced. Has a light citrus flavor and smells wonderful! This has become a regular for us for iced tea this summer.
As far as citrus green tea goes this one was exceptional. My only complaint was the citron flavor was a bit off for me, but it did not diminish the drink-ability.
I really love this tea. I think the citrus flavor is maybe a bit overdone, but when paired with the mellow green tea, it rounds out nicely. I love having this tea in the late morning or early afternoon. The flavor is a good pick me up if I'm dragging a little. I buy a lot because I have a cup nearly every day during the week at work. I recommend this tea.
very clean, nice and light, and very refreshing! it's the green tea version of lemon soleil which i love.
This is an absolutely delicious tea! I'm really glad to finally find some green teas to my tastes. This makes one heck of an iced tea. With sugar, it tastes like a really delicious citrus candy. I'm going to get a large bag of this.
