Delightful Iced Tea flavor, not over powering, very smooth.
Blended with green tea, and the natural flavors of lemon, vanilla, and cream, it's the perfect springtime treat.

Delightful Iced Tea flavor, not over powering, very smooth.
I was completely surprised by this year. It has the essence of lemon meringue pie but it's not overwhelming. I will be purchasing this again.
This smells amazing! I can definitely smell the meringue, but it tastes just like lemon green.
I cannot stress how absolutely delicious this tea is both hot and cold-brewed. The lemon is right up in your face and feels refreshing with each sip. The creaminess always comes through in a welcomed way that surprises me. I will definitely keep some of this on-hand at all times.
I don’t typically drink green tea, but this is a nice refreshing spring tea. I recommend for something different.
Good flavor of lemon and light green tea. However, I am unsure if there was any “meringue essence”.
This is a lovely light lemon tea with no overtones of 'Pledge'! I am so glad I went for the bag rather than just a sample!
Lemon meringue green has been my favorite tea for a few years, both hot and cold. I just ordered it and I don't know what you changed but it tastes terrible, both hot and cold. Has a soapy taste. Doesn't even smell good. Adagio has just lost a customer as I'm afraid to order anything as it might have changed.
Prominent green tea baise with hints of lemon and citrice and a sweet creamy finish.
The best smelling tea I’ve ever experienced I couldn’t stop smelling it when I was putting it into the container the flavor is amazing it was the first tea I tried out of my huge tea haul
very lemony and not too sweet I added sugar to mine it is good if you like citrius
One of my favorite teas. Delightful lemon flavor without being overly tart.
I love this tea. Great lemon flavor comes through with the light green tea I love. Highly recommend this tea especially if you like lemon.
Nice, light, and easy to drink. I prefer an earthier green tea but still enjoy this one. Might try as iced tea.
A wonderful blend of aromas in this tea. It really does scream 'Spring' in every way! One of my favorite seasonal teas I've tried.
Needs a little sweetening to get to my preference, but a lovely floral tea.
This tea smells and tastes like lemon cake. The delicate lemon flavor with a hint of sweet vanilla pairs nicely with the green tea. I love it so much that I had to grab a large bag to add to my tea pantry. I can't wait to try this iced! Sip, sip away!
This really does taste like lemon meringue with a nice grassy note from the green tea. I am not the biggest fan of green teas but this one is very nice and I don't find it to be too vegetal or astringent. The lemon really makes this one sing. I tried this hot but I am thinking it will be even better cold brewed when it gets hot out. I don't know how they got this to taste like meringue but there is a fluffiness to it.
Nice light spring flavor. I think it actually taste like lemon meringue pie. You defiantly taste the lemon and the cream flavor.
No honey is needed with this lovely tea. Cold or hot!
I had this before from the Spring Teas Sampler, and I came back for more. This truly tastes like a lemon bar without all the sugar. A true treat in a cup, especially delightful in the late spring and summer.
Excellent green tea for morning with the perfect touch of lemon
I went on a plant based diet and I had to give up lemon meringue pie… until now!
Ok it doesn’t taste exactly like the pie. However, It is close enough for me!
Love this tea!!
Wonderful tasting creamy lemon tea without the dairy.
Smelled just like lemon pie and the flavor wasn’t overwhelming
A fresh tea that will refresh whether hot or cold!
Very lemony, and is addictive iced and sweetened.
Straight from the bag this tea smells exactly like lemon meringue pie. When brewed, it's a mild green tea with a subtle lemon meringue flavor. As it cools the aroma and flavor takes a more floral turn that's a bit reminiscent of jasmine and rose.
Update April 2022: This is tea has multiple personalities. Rich complex flavor that expresses itself in different ways depending on the circumstances. I used to brew this at 180, but I think that makes it a bit more harsh in flavor than a gentle brew as a green tea prefers. Different temperatures affect the taste as does adding a touch of sweetner. This is worth trying!
--------------------------------------
I didn't expect to love this tea. I'm somewhat of a purist with green tea and I love the grassy aromas and taste and felt adding other flavors and aromas took away from the pleasure of green tea. I was pleasantly surprised. The vegetal flavor of green tea was not overwhelmed by the other flavors--smoothed and enhanced, but not overwhelmed. My 3 oz. bag is quickly dwindling as this has become my go-to tea of my last order on Adagio. I enjoy this as is with no sweetener.
I love making this tea as a sun tea then adding ice for an iced tea. The lemon isn't overpoweing in this tea which is an added bonus!
This is a nice lemon green tea, though I don’t really get ‘meringue’ from it. I prefer some of the other citrus greens, but glad I tried this one.
Smooth flavor with hints of vanilla. Made a great cup of tea.
I expected a more lemony zing from this tea, but the sweet lemon flavor and green tea blend is very subtle. It's lovely and refreshing.
I expected lemon, but it really does taste like lemon meringue pie. Delicious. Will buy more.
Lemon meringue sounded lovely as a warm drink but this is not good. It is more lemon and not enough sweet meringue. It is lemon green tea. I suggest you don't drink this until it has been in your cup a few minutes as it tastes better warm than hot. I tried another 50% tea but it just got more lemon and less meringue
Lemon Meringue Green is a very interesting tea. It does resemble a Lemon Merigue pie in it's tartness. However, it has an oily residue aftertaste that I do not particularly care for. It is a bit cloying.
I've been looking to expand my experience with green teas, and decided to try this one. It's quickly become one of my favorites! I don't even add any sweetener, since the lemon and cream flavor of the tea is so sweet on it's own.
Lovely mix of lemon & green tea. Very enjoyable on there tongue.
The aroma of lemon was there from the cut of the bag. I am not really a green tea person but this was so nice and smooth. The tart lemon taste was blended with the vanilla to make a real treat. This is one I would consider again.
Not going to lie this tastes like Fruit Loops and I am NOT upset about it. The lemon smell is amazing and it is a wonderful nostalgic pick me up.
This was a surprisingly good tea..the lemon flavor was made silky by creme and vanilla undertones.
Lemony and light; cheerful and ever so bright; sunshine in a cup (haiku review)
Shufflin' to the fridge
Open the doors, look within
Search for the pie tin
Track the scent to see
What smells delicious to me
Is my cuppa tea!
(haiku review 2)
The smell when you open the tea bag is amazing. Point perfect for a lemon meringue pie. The cream sweetness is a nice addition to the neon scent. In the cup, the lemon is more mellow and not as sweet as it smells, but still very balances and enjoyable.
This creamy lemon tea is great both hot and iced. I need to get more and try it cold brewed! The green tea is not grassy and blends perfectly with the lemon. Love it!
Update '22: since the last review, I have become a fan of green tea so I was hoping to up my stars from 3. It simply was not to be. This time around the scent and even taste reminded me of lemon pledge. Oddly enough, it didn't make me dump it but I kept sipping away thinking 'pledge?'. For those without my odd tastebuds, I am sure this is a really lovely, lemony green tea. For me, it is still a pass.
Original '21: Tried this as part of CommuniTea. Maybe because there were some great lemony blends the prior days which spoiled me or because I'm not a superfan of green tea but I found this to be rather bland.
CommuniTEA Review: The lemon and vanilla pair really well in this blend to make a light, refreshing cup of green tea. It’s delicious both hot or iced.
If you are not a fan of green tea then you need to give this one a try. This tea is like drinking sunshine. Light lemon flavor balanced with a touch of creaminess. It's soothing and uplifting. Perfect for those days when you want some caffeine, but not as much as a black tea. (Update: 4/5/22) If you haven’t tried this cold brewed and on ice, you need to. Perfect warm weather drink and it’s also good combined with numerous other teas. Absolutely love this blend.
Today's CT packet smelled of lemon meringue after immediately opening the packet. Although I'm not a big fan of lemon meringue, I really enjoyed this tea. The amount of lemon was a compliment to the tea, not overpowering it. I brewed it hot and it was delicious, but didn't finish before an appointment. When I got back, I added ice and it was delicious that way, too. A second steeping didn't seem to lose any of the lemony flavor. Very nice tea!
Intensely lemony scent - my mouth expected sour! But it's smooth and bright going down. A bit of sugar is nice with this too.
This is a green tea that I love! Light, bright lemony notes with notes of vanilla and cream to soften the citrus. On second steep I like to add in a tsp of Wild Strawberry or Raspberry Patch. Mmmmmm! :) Brewed at 180F, 3 minutes.
4/5/2022 - love, love, love this tea!! And I am not normally that big of a green tea fan. Lemon is one of my fav tastes/scents...and this tea is great hot or cold brewed! mmmmm!
Very pleasant tea with a lovely flavor!
