Refreshing green with the sharp tang of citrus. It also smells vaguely minty, though I don't think there's actually any mint in it. Definitely worth a try.
Chinese green tea with the delicate flavors of lemon and lime. An Adagio favorite, refreshing hot and iced.

This tea is refreshing!! The hint of citrus brightens up the already wonderful tea! Adding a bit of strawberry herbal tea takes this tea to another level!
This makes the most amazing iced tea. Light and refreshing, perfect summer (and every other season) drink! It’s now a staple in our pantry.
This tea was absolutely delicious! I added a touch of sugar but truthfully it probably didn't need it.
Although I loved the fragrance of this tea, the citron notes did not come through for me at all. I might try the rest of the sample bag and try it over ice.
I always added citrus to my green tea, so naturally this was a must. Perfect balance of green tea flavors and lemon/lime zing.
We’ve had this one before, and it continues to be delicious! Bright and zesty citrus flavor with refreshing green tea. Lovely.
This was amazing. Absolutely love it. The flavor is so robust. It's my favorite green. You really can't believe how much the citrus brings out the flavors in the green tea.
Similar to the Citrus Mint Green, but without the mint, this tea cuts the grassy notes of the green tea and adds complexity.
Citron Green is a favorite of mine, it has a juicy citrus flavor that nullifies the green tea aspect of vegetal-umami typical of green tea.
Another of my go-to teas in the early afternoon when I am not drinking grapefruit oolong. Was my favorite for years.
I really enjoy the flavor! The citrus is a nice jolt to keep me going!
I received a sample of this awhile back and thought it was great so I thought it would be a nice change from my favorite spiced green. As a side by side comparison though, I like the spiced green better.
Nice light green tea, with hints of citrus, good to drink anytime hot or cold.
Very lovely and light. Great citrus green tea. I make this in the afternoon for a pick me up. Love the color.
A very light green tea. I think it would be good if you were recoveirng from an illness or getting someone into more mild teas. But the citrus taste is more of a light aftertaste.
This is one of our favorite teas. Nice green flavor with a hint of citrus. Refreshing!
Citrussy and green its a very bright and slightly sweet tea. Personally one of my favorites when it comes to flavored green tea.
One of my husband’s favorites. I’m more of an oolong fan, but my hubby got some of this as a Christmas present and asked me to reorder for him. Nice flavor
This is a refreshing green tea -- citrusy and clean, and works well hot (which is how I prefer to drink most of my teas).
This one was ok, not too much different than a regular green tea but with a hint of citrus. Good both hot and cold.
This tea is very fresh tasting. I am not normally a fan of green teas but tried this in my first sampler and was pleasantly surprised.
Morning citrus tea with crisp oranges and lemons flavor, very good hot to drink on winter, but also you can try with vegetable milk
I make ice teas and then carbonate them to make seltzers, and this tea was okay. I have found that fruit-forward flavors work well as seltzers, but I think the acidity of citrus doesn't play well with the acidity added by carbonation.
This is my absolute favorite! Love the citrus aromas and it’s not too sweet, just perfect. Child hood memories come to mind when drinking this tea.
Fantastic green tea. The Citron is more lime than lemon. I generally don't like citrus flavored teas, but I do like this one.
So light and refreshing will make a delicious iced tea as well
I really enjoyed this tea. It was very refreshing and I enjoyed it hot with some light agave to sweeten up!
I was so excited to try this but unfortunately it didn’t work for me. It smells absolutely delicious but my first few sips reminded me of some sort of cleaner. After it cooled it grew on me a bit. I’m certainly willing to give it another shot.
One of my favorites. A nice blend of good flavors.
Favorite green tea, I love citrus! I usually drink this with honey and it was great for when I had a small cold.
Delicious and refreshing! Great with lavender honey!
not a fan of this one. but it could just be my own taste. I served it to a friend recently and she loved it.
I would like to have more minty taste in this tea but overall is good.
The citrus quality is lost after being brewed. I've tried longer brews at lower temps and still not much. I tend to like my green citrus teas, but this one did do it for me.
This is a very well balanced tea. It's light and refreshing. I would definitely purchase this again
Light springy and delicious. Subtle citrus and the perfect amount of green tea shine in this sublime beverage.
This is a nice light and refreshing tea. It is good for an afternoon pick me up or a relaxing evening.
Update: Tastes change over time. Now I enjoy the citrus flavoring. 😋
This is a nice light green tea with a citrus flavor. I steeped using 165 F water x 2 min. The second steep had more of a grassy taste and less citrus flavor. For me both of these are not desired so I doubt I will be purchasing.
This is an all season favorite, a wonderful green tea hot or cold. The citrus flavor is pleasant and true. With a sweetener add, the taste is a bit lemonade like with a twist of orange. The green tea base is friendly and mild and allows the citrus flavor to shine. It has no underlying grassy, seaweedy or strong vegetal flavor making this a delightful green to chill for a refreshing iced tea as well.
My CT packet had 3 g/ 2.5 tsp of lemony scented green tea leaves dotted with marigolds and one large orange peel. The beautiful golden yellow liquor had a tart taste to start but with some agave to sweeten the tartness turned into a delicious citrus flavored treat. No bitterness was detected in the green tea base with careful brewing. 12 oz. 180*F for 2:30 min and my resteep of 6 oz. was for 3 min. This green tea is a true Adagio gem!
Very pleasant citrus flavor, but not overpowering. I'm going to try this iced next! I'm wondering what a pinch of citric acid or sugar would do for it...
This was a fine green tea. The citrus came through nicely. Green is just not my favorite tea.
A zippy green tea, heavy on the citrus. It was nice in winter as a reminder of summer, and I imagine it would be even better iced in August.
A lovely and lively citrus tea. The aroma reminds me of limoncello and the brew tastes of lemon zest
I cold brewed this tea, and it was very light and refreshing.
Update: This time I brewed it hot and it was still amazing.
UPDATE 1/26/2023 - Today I cold-brewed this tea and I liked it better than when I brewed it hot. At first sip, it had a light grassy taste, but after it sat out for a few minutes, that taste went away and it was mostly a citrus taste. Although that was pleasant, it’s too light for me to make on a regular basis. If you like light flavors, this might be a good choice for you, and I liked it better cold.
Oh dear, I’m afraid this blend is not for me. I do like a few green teas but this one was just a bit too grassy for me, and I didn’t have enough taste of the citrus, although I certainly smelled it when I opened the packet. If you like green teas, I’m sure you will enjoy it.
Wow! If you're a citrus fan, I definitely recommend this one. Very citrus-y and delicious. A nice, flavorful cup. :)
This was a nice citrus filled, refreshing tea. I wish I tried it cold but I did not. A little sweetner brought out those notes of sweet orange mingled with lemon.
I tasted this for the first time thanks to the largesse of A F who sent me a gift after hearing of my trepidation in trying Citron Green. That's because the citron products I tasted while in Germany were very zesty and strong. In contrast, this tea is light and the citron flavor mild, particularly when steeped at 180/2 as I do. I'm appreciative of the kindness and grateful to have tried the tea. I don't care to drink it on its own since it is very mild, but I've used and enjoyed it in blends (my own and others'). I prefer Jasmine Phoenix Pearls, Sleeping Dragon, or Matcha Genmaicha for solo green tea sips.
I was expecting bolder flavors from this one, but it’s really quite light in terms of the green tea and the citrus — not necessarily a bad thing. There are other citrus blends I prefer, but I imagine this is good for hot days when you still want a light, refreshing dose of antioxidants. Steeped 2ish mins @ 175°
