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

This tea met and exceeded all of the expectations I had and more. The lovely grassy notes of the green tea blend beautifully with the light citrusy notes present in this blend. I don't really have a lot more to say than it is just a very good citrus green tea, and If you are a fan of either you will enjoy this tea immensely.
I brewed this as part of my communitea packet at 180*f for 3 minutes.
Light green tea without any bitterness or raw, grassy flavors. Very smooth, silky cup with just the right amount of almost sweet, but not tart, citrusy flavor. Clean finish and very refreshing.
Well, the taste did not disappoint, but it didn't set my heart on fire either. It's okay, but I can't love it. I understand this is a favorite with this company. This is what I get for receiving three different blends of green tea in my mail for March. Update: I've been buying the teabags instead. It's better in the summer time.
It's okay. Couldn't really taste the orange or lemon. Green tea is a bit overpowering for this combination, in my opinion.
Light citrus tea,the flavors come forward as the tea cools. Refreshing tea for summer time.
Great tea!
I have had this a few times and found that I find it more flavorful as it cools. It's still not a very strong citrus tea, but good.
This is a lovely sweet lemony green, it’s wonderful cold-brewed!
Darnit, I really had high hopes for Citron Green, as 'Green Tea with Lemon' was my gateway into the world of green tea and my 'go to' flavor when I just want to sip something at night. But I found the balance of Citron Green to be too light for me, even when I loaded up the bag with extra leaves than required. Very surprised it lacked the punch of their 'Citrus Mint Green' which remains top of the fruited greens for me.
Nice strong lemon flavor, smooth tea. Steep for a shorter time for milder lemon flavor.
One of Adagio's best green teas with great citrusy flavor.
Best green tea ever! Love this sweet tasting tea. Cannot believe there is no sugar and 0 calories!
My go-to green teas for everyday. Naturally sweet due to the oranges, but also still retains that smooth earthiness of green. Perfect both hot and iced.
This is my favorite tea! I just ordered another pound of it. I prefer it as an iced tea with a small amount of honey. The flavor is crisp and citrusy but not too overpowering. Definitely recommend it if you don't typically like green tea. The citrus flavors definitely mellow out the bitterness of the green tea.
I've been drinking this tea for years, it is my favorite to sip during the day. I probably drink 8 cups of it. A little excessive? Perhaps :)
Really like this tea. The orange flavor really balances out the bitterness of the green tea.
My absolute favorite loose leaf green tea, for over ten years now
I don't typically like green tea, but this didn't have as much of the 'typical' green tea taste which was great for me! It seemed a little stale but overall was really good!
My new go to green tea. The refreshing citrus flavors blend well with the flavor of green teas. More Key Lime Pie than Pina Colata.
This is my husband’s favorite green tea. We will definitely be ordering more.
I can smell the green tea strongly with a hint of citrus prior to steeping. The green tea and lemon taste is evident after steeping, but the orange is overwhelmed. This tea tastes a bit bland to me. I suspect this would be a good tea to settle your stomach. Otherwise it is not a tea I would consistently drink.
Bright citrus notes and gentle scent made this a perfect afternoon cup of tea.
Very light scent on opening the sample bag. Fresh, citrus rinds come to mind.
After brewing I got a light-colored liquor that featured a soft citrus flavor that provided a hint of sourness. There was enough astringency to notice it late into the cup, but no more. Lightly flavored. The wet leaf smelled of a grocery’s produce section, immediately after all the vegetables got their misting of water.
After added rock sugar the flavor mellowed out a bit – no astringency remained, nor any sourness. Citrus stood up a bit more, but not much.
3 Stars – I will stock this occasionally; would happily drink it if offered.
(Disclaimer – I am an uncultured tea drinker in the infancy of my tea journey, so my palate is very undeveloped. As such this review likely won’t provide much insight for anyone but other novices – but hopefully it’s moderately entertaining.)

This is not one of my favorite. However, blended with peach and then it was much better.
This tea is refreshing and light. The citrus is not overwhelming to the green tea. They are balanced just right.
This is the equivalent of lemon soleil, (a black tea from adagio) but green. I love both as I find tea and lemon are a classic pairing. A tea for just about anytime.
A nice, citrusy green that doesn t assume much. It s not a top-shelf tea, but it s good for those days when you re too busy to really enjoy a complex tea.
I made my own blend of White Peach, White Strawberry, and Citron Green to approximate the Fandom blend 'Pidge' received in a CommuniTEA packet. A lovely light and fruity taste, very refreshing!
Mostly what I taste is the green tea only. Very little citron. And weirdly enough, the tea clumps together in the tea ball like a wad of something unpleasant. No idea why as I've used green tea in the ball before. Just strange.
We liked this tea so much we drank the whole sample on the first day. Very refreshing post yoga brew.
Excellent flavor for this one, great as a midday drink or a morning starter
This is my daughter’s favorite tea of all time and she drinks many cups daily, plain, nothing added. You can find cheaper green teas, but you get what you pay for. This is like a treat for yourself, each and every day!
Nice clean flavor with a bright note. Best on the first steeping, might want to add fresh leaves for subsequent steeps.
Easy to brew, light citrus flavor with no bitter aftertaste. Excellent way to reap antioxidant benefit from green tea!
I love this tea! Classic green flavor. Not too strong or weak. If you love green tea you'll love this one!
I was unselfish with my last purchase and wanted to buy a few things for my daughters to try when they visit. I chose this one because my second child loves the cold green teas that you buy at the store. I am so excited for her to try this! The citron flavor is packed in with lemony-limey goodness that matches so well with the grassy, earthy green tea flavor. It's just a delight to sip on! Beautiful and fragrant in the package and the liquor is the most delicious shade of green. I ordered two packages and I'm glad I did because this would not have lasted unless I saved one for her visit! I let a cup get cool and I could really dig this in a tall glass with some ice cubes as well.
Ever since I got hold of some lemon sencha from Taylor and Harrowgate (which they promptly discontinued after I fell in love with it), I've been on the hunt for a replacement. Lemon green is startlingly hard to find, so I figured I'd try this. Citron is lemon-lime, so the flavor isn't spot on, but it is pretty good. The blend lends an extra freshness to the flavor. And citrus pairs particularly well with green tea in general, I find, smoothing off the bitter undertones of the green tea flavor. This would probably make a killer iced tea, and it's good for a spring evening when the nights are still a little chilly, too.
Very powerful citrus aroma, but great when that is exactly what you are in the mood for. Be careful not to leave the tea in for too long, otherwise it may become overpowering!
I did a cold brew for this and it was amazing! It tastes so good!
This is my new favorite green tea! The citrus is very subtle but the green is all front flavor without some of the weird notes green teas can have on the back end. Love it!
This tea has a good citrus flavor. I wouldn't drink it all the time though.
Good citrus flavor, doesn't overwhelm the green tea.
For something a little different, this is the one. Have reordered it when it's gone.
This has an amazing flavor. I would recommend this tea for sure.
Definitely a go to green tea for me! Not too strong of a flavor which sometimes green teas are for me.
This green tea tastes just like fruity pebbles! It happily fills my sweet tooth craving, and doesn’t even need sugar or honey!
I bought this accidentally, meaning to get mandarin green. It was still enjoyable, but a little too astringent for my liking.
The perfect balance of green tea with a mix of citruses!
Really enjoyable anytime tea! Thoroughly enjoy the citrus and green tea flavors.
My daily iced green tea: steep 3 tsp Citron Green and 1 tsp Spearmint. Then add sweetener of choice (I do 1 tsp of Swerve or 1/2-1 tsp Stevia) and two lime slices in 24 ounces of water in a 28 oz cup. Refrigerate overnight. Fill to top with ice before drinking. I prefer this to the Mojito Paradise Ice tea blend, because I can control the spearmint.
