An effervescent blend combines the sweet, smooth, well-rounded feel of green tea with the fresh zest of lemon and orange, finished off with the cool gentleness of spearmint.

I first tried this in a communiTEA package. I wasn't sure if I'd like it because I prefer not to drink fruit-flavored teas, but this was excellent. Mint is a staple of mine and the added citrus was just enough to make it new and fresh. I bought a bag and I often choose it for my mid-afternoon cup.
This green was decent. The citrus was able to do a good job blending with the tea to make it enjoyable.
I like the regular Citron green but I forgot how much I hate the taste of hot mint. It's better cooled or chilled with a bit of sugar.
Lovely summertime tea iced, and great for cozying up when it's cold out
I tried this one as part of the CommuniTEA monthly subscription. I didn’t have a variable temperature water kettle at the time, so I guessed at the correct temperature. I steeped it for the recommended time and it tasted refreshing. I decided to order a bag to try it cold brewed. Wow! The mint together with the citrus made the green tea flavor pop. There is now a carafe of this tea in the fridge practically every day. Or
My favorite tea!!! I drink this every morning over ice with a little bit of simple syrup for the perfect iced green tea drink. This tea doesn't give me caffeine jitters like some other teas do. My BF enjoys this tea warm in the afternoon for a pick me up. We love it and order it all the time.
Use with peach serenity and peppermint along with honey and lemon for a healing tea for those colds or sinus issues.
If you are looking for a Green Tea that tastes more like a Herbal Tea... This tea is for you! With strong mint flavor in addition to a fresh zest of orange and lemon makes this an amazing blend.
I love smelling this. Just the scent alone is sweet and energizing. The lemony minty flavor is a perfect blend. It's so delicious and soothing on the stomach, but also makes me feel more alert, somehow. I love it! I wish I'd discovered it sooner. Definitely a hit for anyone who loves mint teas.
This tea is wonderful, I was looking for a dupe to make medicine balls for my bf and this convinced with peach serenity makes almost a expensive dupe!!
Citrus and mint sounds like a weird combination but it worked really well here. The mint is stronger than the citrus, but both are definitely present.
What a delicious tea served hot or iced. I love the very fresh citrus and refreshing cool minty feeling when I had my first few sips.
I adored today's tea. So fresh and yummy. I got busy so the tea got cold, and I liked it even better. I will be cold brewing this tea from now on.
I really enjoyed this as a hot tea. Very minty, mild green tea and citrus. I imagine it's great ices as well
Today's CommuniTea packet was citrus mint green with green tea, spearmint leaves, lemon grass, lemon verbena, orange, marigold flowers, and lemon and orange flavors. I love all things minty and lemony, but I know from experience that this one is a bit mild for me, so I added about an half teaspoon of peppermint as well. So refreshing! Cold brewed in 14 ounces of water for about 10 hours with some extra peppermint added.
The aroma of mint was pleasant - not overpowering. The lemongrass had the citrus lurking in the background. I really enjoyed this tea. It maybe one for the future.
Was able to cut this in half- hot tea was very spearminty, only a little citrus, and a bit of veggie green at the end. Cold brought the citrus to full force with the spearmint at the end.
CommuniTEA 6/7/22: lovely delicate tea, perfect for a calm afternoon or evening. Spearmint pairs well with the lemongrass. Would drink this again!

This is really a solid meh from me. For this specific review, I cold steeped, though I’ve tried it warm in the past. I enjoy it more cold because it tames the green. However, ultimately this means the only identifying flavor is spearmint. Of the mints, I tend to prefer peppermint, so consider your mint bent when choosing to try this tea! If you prefer spearmint, this tea might be for you!!
Loved this tea! Aroma of spearmint when opening the package. Spearmint taste with undertones of citrus. Definitely going to be one of my go tos.
This was a lovely green tea. The lemon was subtle but blended nicely with a minty finish.
Normally I don’t like mint teas, but I really enjoyed this one. The citrus was definitely more prevalent than the mint.
I'm not a mint tea lover, but can tolerate spearmint better than peppermint. However, the combination of green tea and citrus balance the spearmint in this blend very well. It is good hot and iced. I didn't think it needed any sweetener, but it would pair well with honey.
A lovely blend by somebody who clearly understands the teas they're working with. The mint was nice and light and refreshing, and worked well with the grassiness from the green tea. The citrus was a little more subtle, and I wouldn't have minded a bit more, but it still tasted absolutely delicious!
I cold brewed this tea overnight and enjoyed it iced. The spearmint was a little stronger than the citrus but I really liked it. Refreshing!
Green, minty, and lemon, Citrus Mint Green is a beautiful cup of tea—hot or cold. Really enjoyable.
Delicious hot or cold! Excellent summertime tea; very refreshing.
Really nice balance of mint, citrus, and lemongrass.
This blend had a great spearmint taste with some lemon on the backend. I did not find any grassiness from the green tea which was good for me. I added a little sugar, and it was a wonderful afternoon sip!
This is great hot or iced. Mint and citrus is an unlikely pairing, but it’s delicious!
I think this is my favorite green tea. I enjoyed it hot but I bet it would be a dazzling ice tea.
The spearmint flavor was predominant. I enjoyed the initial sip, but got a weird aftertaste. Brewed 3 min @180 no additives. I would try this cold brewed next time.
Perhaps it was the cold-steep preparation I used for my CommuniTEA pouch or perhaps it was the blend in said pouch, but I found this blend to have a predominantly minty flavor on a subtly astringent base from the green tea. The citrus notes lingered in the background, and at first, they seemed overshadowed by the mint. As I continued to sip, however, they became more noticeable but not pronounced. Had I added sweetener, they may have stood out a little more, but I found the brew pleasant enough as is. Ultimately, I decided the blend is just well-balanced enough to make a pleasing glass of thirst-quenching and energy-boosting iced tea.
This one is middle of the rode for me. I’m not a fan of spearmint in tea, I prefer peppermint. I added orange peels and a touch more lemongrass, but it still was almost too faint to detect. It was “meh” hot, and a little better cold. I can see this being used in blends but not something I’d choose to drink on its own.
If you like green tea and mint this is a must buy.
This tea is really good. I love the minty flavor and how it goes so well with all the other flavors.
A refreshing blend,
The mint is stronger for me,
And aids clarity
A lovely light tea with excellent mint flavor with the green!
Light green tea with refreshing citrus and cooling mint. None of the ingredients are particularly strong, but the result is a nice, mellow tea that's perfectly balanced with the right amount of natural sweetness. I like a flavor punch with my teas, but this is nice when you want something a little more mild.
Nope, not a tea for me! The combination of citrus and mint creates an 'orange juice and toothpaste' flavor that I dislike greatly.
UPDATED from 6/18/21: There is a lovely smell of mint and citrus as the CommuniTEA packet opens. It steeps into a pale golden elixir. This tea has a very yummy minty flavor forward with the citrus flavors in the background. The green tea is a perfect light base. This makes a lovely, lovely ice tea and on a hot summer day, a delight to drink. Adding ¼ teaspoon of sweetener helps the citrusy flavors stand out more. Adding a sprig of fresh spearmint gives this a nice minty finish. Tasty while hot, this is also a perfect ice tea! (3 mins @ 180º F + sweetener).
Today's CommuniTEA is Citrus Mint Green (6-7-22). When I opened my packet, I noticed a ton of Lemongrass, which I love, but orange was notably absent. I added some orange peels and sourwood honey, but despite this, the tea was very light in flavor. It's not going to be a favorite of mine, but it's really not bad. I would still recommend this tea if you like very light teas!
A nice minty citrus tea! I really enjoyed this cup <3
The tea is very reminiscent of mint, I had trouble trying to taste the citrus.
06/07/22 CommuniTEA portion: Cold Brewed this time for a different take - even more refreshing. Would make a great summer pitcher to keep on hand.
01/22/22 - What a refreshing green. Subtle citrus and mint notes rounded out the green well. I steeped at a lower temp the first time just to make sure I didn't overdo.
This was a nice green with a nostalgic taste. I think spearmint and citrus go really well together with the smooth green tea, this is the kind of tea I like to relax with.
Interesting! This reminds me of my beloved casablanca mint tea, but with a citrus tang. I love how the green tea takes the bite out of the mint. I personally prefer the casablanca mint, but this is a well balanced and quality tea that any citrus-lemon fan will enjoy.
Green tea flavors are earthy and smooth throughout, followed by a citrusy orange and lemon pop on the aftertaste. There was only a hint of mint - much more of a citrus green. Good tea, but I (a mint lover) wanted more mint!
I like the citrus and mint flavor combination. I just wish I tasted more tea.
The flavors of mint, citrus and green tea blend together so well. My first sip just put a big smile on my face it tasted so good. I'm going to have to try this iced like people are suggesting. (180F for 2min)
