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.

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.
This tea puts a new twist on green tea. The citrus gives the green tea a great flavor!
cool and refreshing, use for iced tea, nice blend of citrus notes
This is just slightly tart and minty. It's cool and refreshing.
I was curious at how the blend of citrus and mint would work out. From the sample bag I had whiffs of spearmint and citrus, particularly lemon. After brewing at recommended particulars, I had a soft citrus flavor that was very refreshing from the mint. But this was a pretty light tea. Nothing too spectacular. I enjoyed its mellowness.
….then I tried it with some rock sugar from Adagio.
This. This is it. This is my tea. At first sip when sweetened, first thought is Sprite. The mint is not very pronounced, but at lends itself to the sweetness and refreshing status. The citrus is most prominent, but not too much nor too little.
5 stars – I will be making sure this tea is always available in the cupboard; I would ask for this when being served if anything was available.
(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.)

Closest loose leaf flavor to Teavana Jade Citrus Mint.
Absolutely love this one. I use it to make my own version of a 'medicine ball' with another teabag of the Peach Serenity, and it is just beyond amazing. I am definitely addicted to this tea and will certainly keep an extra stash in the back of my shelf in case I run out.
I’m discovering that I’m not a fan of Adagio’s citrus blends. This one is okay both hot and cold, but I’ve not figured out the secret to making it sparkle.
I adore this green tea! It tastes like a better version of Tazo's Zen tea.
Tastes just like the Starbucks green tea. Really enjoy this!
Very refreshing and better than Teavana. I love the Citrus mint taste.
Light and refreshing this tea reminds me of wintergreen gum but not quite as sweet. Wonderful flavor!
Perfect combination of citrus and mint! Initially got this in the cold brew iced tea pouches and decided to try it hot too. Glad I did!
omg i got this because i couldn't find the teavana tea bags in canada. this is exactly it!
