A really great blend with a lot of bold lemongrass that comes through. The citrus is maybe the least strong player but it all comes together to be really refreshing, and I would love to try it iced next time.
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.

Meh not a super big fan of mint hope it tastes good cold brewed!
Such a refreshing green tea blend. Great for summer!
I like the mint in this but didn't love the citrus. It was a bit too artificial tasting.
I make a similar blend for myself that includes lemongrass, spearmint, and green rooibos citron. I love citrus and spearmint together so I was so happy to see this tea today. The pleasant smells jump out of the packet giving you a preview of what is to come. Brews into a beautiful golden, light green color. Your tongue is hit with the minty zest of the spearmint first and then it is mellowed out by the citrus flavors. Green tea is difficult to detect which is fine by me since I am not Team Green. The green tea is why I have not sampled this one yet, so thank you to communiTea for giving me the chance. Just a wonderful refreshing and invigorating tea. I tried it hot, iced, and with honey. Enjoyed it every way, but it was so nice iced and does not really need the honey. What a great tea for summer! Steeped at 180º for 3 mins. Was able to get 2 steeps from this one. Enjoy!
Mint is one of my favorite flavors anyway but this was particularly balanced. Minty, slight citrus, little bit of green taste. Thoroughly enjoyed!
This tea was minty with out over overpowering. I found it harder to taste the citrus flavor, but that didn't stop me from liking this tea. I tried it with and without sugar. Both ways were enjoyable.
Joy in a cup! This is a nicely balanced and flavorful citrus mint tea with a well hidden green tea base. No grassy or vegetal flavor peeking out anywhere, just lemon and orange flavors teaming up with a gentle mint taste to deliver a refreshing summer cuppa that is pleasant sip after sip. Chilled, this is a delightful iced tea and as good as the hot version.
My CT packet had an enticing spearmint citrus scent. All ingredients appeared to be there, although distinguishing the spearmint leaves from the green tea ones was a challenge. 3 grams/ 4 full teaspoons of tea (there was a lot of fluffy lemongrass) was brewed at the green tea temp. of 175F for 2:30 minutes. The liquor was a beautiful sunny yellow color with a pleasant spearmint scent to the nose. My first sip tasted minty with a citrus tang at the finish. I could sip plain but a bit of green tea honey teased out the spearmint flavor more and brightened the citrus notes. A flavorful 6 oz. resteep was surprisingly good. The many herbals in this tea rebounded well for a milder but tasty second cup. This one's a keeper and on the fast track to becoming a favorite, discovered just in time for summer.
A refreshing minty blend. The low caffeine makes it a good afternoon tea.
I cold brewed this overnight. From the packet, it had a strong minty aroma. Drinking it cold was so good that I slurped it right down. The citrus is more forward and the mint is just right in the background. Adding this to my wishlist !
i expected some citrus zing from this one, but my sample was pretty much just mint all the way. I think it was just the sample having less lemon grass. On second steep I added a thin slice of lemon and found citrus actually blends really well with mint! Nice cup of tea! Love love love mint!
Another green tea I can enjoy! I brewed the tea, then left it to cool . After drinking it, I was humming' I'm walking on sunshine'
Green tea, lemongrass and mint mingle evenly in this blend, without any one flavor dominating. I liked this both hot and cold. Hot, it was relaxing, and cold, refreshing!
Even though I usually steep green tea for 1 and a half minutes, I let this tea step for 2 minutes at 180 F to allow the other flavors to develop.
I've tasted and enjoyed similar teas from other brands. This one is also very tasty. I don't get much citrus, but the subtle mint flavor makes it very refreshing. I drank it warm, but I bet it would also be great iced.
Kind of like a zestier Moroccan mint tea, its very refreshing and uplifting.
Drinking along with the CommuniTEA today: I notice mainly minty spearmint from the dry ingredients and packet today. Once steeped for 2:30 minutes at 185°F, I notice the addition of subtle lemon and grassy notes coming from my cup along with the spearmint. When I take a sip, I enjoy more mint and hints of herbal and grass along with lemon and orange flavors followed by a refreshing herbal minty finish.
This was surprisingly delicious! I'm not usually a fan of herbals, but the green tea in this really balanced everything out. I was afraid it would be too citrusy (astringent) as well, but it was very smooth with all flavors present and pleasant. Would be great as an iced tea too!
175 degrees for 3 minutes. Sunshine in a cup! The citrus, mint and green tea all balance each other for a refreshing summer drink. I consumed mine at room temperature, unsweetened and I like that the citrus wasn't so sour that I had to doctor it. Very nice!
I was impressed with how much the flavors balanced in this tea. I mostly smelled the lemongrass. However, the flavor was a balance between lemongrass, mint, and the green tea. Made a great cold tea. (3 mins @ 175°F)
Lemon and mint, what more could you want! This blend is soooo good. I will definitely be ordering some to keep on hand. Zesty and refreshing!
Pleasant tea, but the mint is much stronger than the citrus. I did not get a citrus flavor until it had cooled considerably.
What more can I say than what a lovely little tea! Every element is very well balanced and it drinks sooooooo smooth! I really love this flavor profile; it just makes me feel calm and happy, The green tea, mint, lemongrass, orange and lemon verbena make for a perfect spring or summer cup that doesn't weigh you down but may give you the caffeine boost you need. I added honey on my second steep and it was a nice addition, pulling a bit more of the fruit and mint out. And let me say, I bet this is phenomenal iced! A happy little summer sip! Happy Sipping!
I could not give this tea high enough praise. I'm already a huge fan of the Jade Citrus Tea from Starbucks and this tea far exceeds my expectations. There is just enough mint to awaken the palette and bring forward that comforting sensation one expects from a minty tea, coupled with the bright sparks from the citrus really drive home how phenomenal this tea truly is.
This tea was brewed at 3 minutes at 180*F and slightly sweetened.
This tea is very refreshing! The citrus and mint blend together perfectly with the green tea. Iced, this is great on a hot summer day.
Classically delicious and refreshing blend. Enjoyed this one iced. It’s a bright and uplifting minty, lemony delight. Happy sipping!
CommuniTEA Sample: Very good green tea with mint. The citrus adds a nice depth to it. Didn’t have time for a second steep, but I’m sure it’s just as good. I do like this one and would enjoy it if I had it again.
Lovely green and mint tea, but I didn’t get much of the citrus flavors. Could have been how I steeped it (175 for 3 min) as others have the citrus flavors. The mint is perfect for summer though leaving me feeling cool even after drinking a hot tea.
This is like citron green which I like but with mint. As a gardener, I'll add mint to my shopping list next month for my final bag of citron green. For now, I'll enjoy this sample of citrus mint green. UPDATE: We still love this tea. Anything orange/mint combo is a plus for us.

(Haiku Review)
This is a repost of my 17 June 2020 review to correct some grammar issues:
Strong and lemony mint aromas were noted right off in-the-bag. I thought that I had just opened a stick of spearmint gum. The blend produced a really nice golden color in the cup. Thankfully the mint and lemon aromas were reduced when steeped. Steeped this one at a slightly higher 185F to bring out the tastes from the lemon & fruit additions, and for 2 minutes to not over-steep the green tea. The green tea came through toward the end when everything was warm. All players blended nicely to produce a really pleasant, “make your gizzard feel good,” morning sip. A keeper! (2 mins @ 185F)
This tea is a great way to start the morning. Bright and cheerful and cleansing. The green tea base is flavorful, but not harsh or grassy and makes a great foundation for the bright spearmint. This mint is very smooth and leaves a fresh taste that lingers. The lemon grass adds some brightness too. Very nice blend with all the flavors complimenting each other well.
Received in my communitea pack. Mint teas and green teas are two of my least favorites. This was a no-go for me.
Minty green flavors that were somewhat overshadowed by quite a bit of lemongrass, far more lemongrass than I was expecting. I cold-brewed, and it was very refreshing
I love mint teas! The added lemon zest and orange made this an absolutely delightful cup of tea! 👏🏻
What a bright, sunshiney, happy tea this is! It brings so much joy. I prefer it iced, but no matter how you drink it, the citrus mint combination is a smile for your tastebuds. Definitely not one to miss!
Blech, I really do not like this one. Not a mint fan, in general, anyway, but this is definitely not for me.
Ooo I'm in love with this one. It's so refreshing even when it's hot, its the perfect blend for summer! Steeping for 2 minutes at 180, the mint was more subdued compared to the citrus and lemongrass flavors, but i think that's a good thing because it doesnt overpower the green tea.
Great tea!
A delicious combination in this CommuniTea sample.
Love the flavor of the spearmint with the citrus flavors. A nice light bodied tea with full flavor. All of the ingredients compliment one another well and are balanced in this blend. Delicious hot and even tastier cool.Nice refreshing tea for the hot summer days.
I was looking for a replacent for the Jade citrus mint tea that teavana carried. This tea is a really good substitute.
Citrus Mint Green has a very refreshing taste and a light fragrance.
Love this, especially as a cold brew!! Less bitter and the mint is subtle but perfect for summer
I was a bit apprehensive to try this because I'm not usually a green tea person. But I really loved the blend of flavors. The combination of mint and lemon made the flavor really bright and delicious!
My favorite so far! Great flavor but not too strong!
I have it every single morning with my breakfast to start my day off right!!
i did not taste much citrus with this. But overall i enjoyed this tea.
I love green tea and also mint, so this hit the spot. I will use this for iced tea as well as a hot tea when weather is cold.
This is a very nice balance of lemongrass and mint. It's lovely hot or iced. These two combined with green tea are a delight to take to work where it gives a nice scent when I pour from my thermos.
I was pleasantly surprised by this tea. I ordered it as a 50% off sample, and now I'm coming back to buy a pound. I thought it might be bland; but, it's not at all. It has such a gentle, yet distinct flavor; I find myself longing for it during the day.
