Citrus flavors of lemon and orange paired with the light-bodied natural fruitiness of green rooibos.

This might be one of the most light and refreshing teas I have tried. The smell is very fruity, but when steeped, the citrus notes blend nicely with the rooibos. It is bright, refreshing, and easily enjoyed throughout the day. Also stands up to multiple steepings.
I can make a huge batch of this and drink it like water. Hot, chilled, sugar, no sugar. It seems like it would be more orange-y from the description, but I tend to taste a lot more of the lemon in it. The people who say it's like drinking sunshine are not exaggerating. Awesome on a long, bright Florida afternoon.
Meh. It's OK, but I found out that I'm not a huge fan of green rooibos.
I found this to be too sweet when brewed hot, but is much less sickly sweet when made into iced tea.
This was really yummy and just the right amount of citrus flavor.
This tastes very similar to the Citron Green to me with a little extra citrus flavor. Smells great. It's a pity the wonderful smell isn't as strong after brewed as it is when in the can/bag. Overall, tea enjoyed.
Tried this another time and realized that I must need to brew my teas twice as long as recommended for the best flavor. So brewed it for 11-12 minutes and WOW. Yep - this is a keeper. It's now more herbal in flavor, but a very yummy herbal. Love the lemongrass flavor that come through. Reminds me o fa chamomile/lemongrass tea. Brewed the same bag twice too. The first time it was brewed in lukewarm water for about 6 minutes. (I thought I was making a green tea the first, hence the low temp water) The second time was in boiling water for 12 minutes. A 2-fer :)
I'm not sure how much it tastes like citrus, but it is very fruity. I really like it. The green rooibos has a much brighter flavor than it's earthy red rooibos cousin. Even if you don't like 'red tea' I would give this a try if you like fruity teas. It does have very small pieces but I used a disposable tea filter so it wasn't an issue. If you have a tea ball or steeper with semi-large holes, some of the tea will get in your tea.
Green rooibos is a good departure. citron is great.
Green rooibos has such a great flavor--none of the dryness of its red counterpart, very smooth and mild but still distinct. The lemon flavor in this was surprisingly gentle to me, but pleasantly so, and the other fruit flavors round it out and give it just enough sweetness. Overall the flavor kind of reminds me of coconut. This is a nice light, summery herbal, and I can see what all the hype is about.
This is great -- a nice, light brew with the perfect hint of citron.
Really liked this tea. It was light and flavorful tasted very earthy and finishes with the nice citrus.
Great kid-friendly (and mom-friendly) tea. I was worried when I saw all the reviews mentioning fruit loops, but it doesn't feel like you're drinking sweetened cereal or anything. Just a good fruity tea.
Delicious. My first green rooibos mix, and I'm already a fan. The citron plays very nice in this.
A very refreshing tea that can be made iced or hot and it'll taste great either way. Plan to enjoy it year round!
Probably my favorite green rooibos. Very fruity but not over the top. Smells and tastes great!
Like other people have said, it smells/tastes a lot like fruity pebbles (this is the sole reason I bought it, ha!) great tea!
love this tea as a casual tea just something you can drink when ever you feel like it
I love to keep a pitcher of this in the refrigerator during the summer. Sometimes I add a little lemon juice or mint. So refreshing!
Iam really enjoying this unique cuppa flavored green citron rooibos. This tea has a explosion of various fruit/citrus flavors, that is very delicious.
I think I assumed lemon tea would be quite tart, so this tea took me very much by surprise. The lemon flavor is recognizable and very present but not a bit pushy and not a bit tart. It's a soft lemon taste that whispers past at the beginning and the end of each sip, melded with mellow tea flavors in the middle. Right now, it's hard to imagine putting this tea in blends, actually, because the lemon is so subtle and dreamy that I expect almost anything would disrupt and overpower it.
Like others have said, the bonita is better, but this is pretty delicious. It reminds me of lemon and orange candies.
Very light and refreshing, the citrus flavors aren't too in-your-face and the color is a nice light green. A good blending tea with other citrus flavors.
This was the first time I ever tried a 'green' rooibos, and it definitely did not disappoint. This was such a bright and clean tasting tea.
This is a truly unique and delicious citrus tea. It is best iced though.
A bit too herbal and earthy for my taste, but the overall flavor profile of a light green tea with the citrus flavors make it great who what a more herbal-y and caffeine free version of Citron Green.
I actually prefer the bonita, but this is still pretty good I suppose.
It looks like a light green tea, which is different for a rooibos. The flavor is very light throughout, though it definitely has a rooibos flavor. Astringent to start, the citrus flavors appear in mid to aftertaste.
I bought this for a friend who gave me a taste to review it. While it is not a tea I would pick, I found it to be enjoyable.
Not as good as the bonita, but still was a decent cup of tea.
Tangy, herbaceous, and green in flavor, this brews up vivid orange. The citrus and green rooibos go very well together, though pedantry compels me to point out that 'citron' is a specific type of citrus, not just a trendy name for a multi-citrus infusion.
This is a really lovely tea! Light and citrusy- great for an upset stomach.
This tea is definitely citrus-y. I bought this since Rooibos Caramel tasted too much like bark, but this stuff doesn't even seem to have a rooibos taste (kind of disappointing). It's still tasty, although too light in flavor.
I enjoy the Blood Orange tea, but it was sold out. The sales clerk recommended this as being very similar. It was an excellent choice.
I like rooibos and green teas however this one didn't have the citrusy (yes I know that isn't a word) taste that I was looking for.
I had never tried any type of rooibos tea before this one. I received it free with my order and ended up loving this tea!
I ordered the sample and came back for more. A mild tea, naturally sweet with a little edge.
It's somewhere between fruity pebbles and fruit loops as some have mentioned, although a bit more citrousy and sour. It's very good on it's own but with a bit of sugar you have left over milk from a bowl of fruity pebbles/fruit loops. I've always wondered why someone hasn't bottled left over cereal milk before but now I can have it on demand.
not my favorite, but still a nice flavor. wish it had a little more depth
Easily my favorite tea! I like black teas, but love this tea. I have a cup after work before bed lightly sweetened with amber sugar crystals.
Very light tea with a prominent citrus flavor. I'm just not really liking the citrus peel flavor in this, though...
I was nervous about this one, because I generally don't care for rooibos but this was delicious! Pleasant, fruity citrus flavor.
Love this tea! It's fresh and bright, and super flavorful. This will be a regular order for me.
This tea has a nice citrus flavor. I prefer green rooibos bonita or the citron green tea, but this is still a very nice, very citrus-fruity tea.
This stuff is delicious. Normally, I have to add some sweetener to my tea, but I can drink this stuff without adding anything. Though, if you do love your tea sweet, adding a touch of honey makes it even more perfect.
This tea tastes like a regular green tea to me. It could because of how I made it, but I'm partial to simple green teas, so that's not a bad thing for me!
This was my first taste of Rooibos and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Light taste, no bitterness, slightly sweet and because of the almost non existent caffeine I can drink it in the evening. I'm glad I tried it and will be ordering ore.
One of my top three, and I'm incredibly picky. I was hesitant at first, but I really enjoyed this tea. The first and second brews were strong but flavorful--more than I thought--and it probably lasted another brew or two before losing flavor.
Was happily surprised to discover this actually does smell and taste a bit like fruity pebbles. And doesn't have artificial flavors or colors. Will order again for sure.
This is a cheerful little blend. It's bright, citrussy, and crowd friendly.
The little women says this is in her top 3 . . . problem is, she has about 12 in her top 3. But this definitely is in her top 3 of her top three. I like it too and everyone we have served it to has commented on how good it is. Great choice for those avoiding caffeine.

To me this tea tasted WAY to citrusy for me. I'm not a big fan of rooibos tea to begin with, so maybe I should have tried a different flavor. It tasted like pinesol smells.
