Green Tea Citronella from Upton Tea Imports

Margaret C. Sullivan drank Green Tea Citronella by Upton Tea Imports

Smells WONDERFUL and lemony in the tin! A light green with a hint of citron. Makes a very nice iced tea, which is why I bought it!

Huh, I associate citronella with bug-repelling candles… I wonder if I could drink this without that association coming to mind. Either way, it sounds very “summery”!

Heh. I thought the same thing when I got it. I ordered it looking for a green tea to use for iced tea, and thought, “hmm, citrus” and ordered it without really noticing the name. It smells nothing like the candle—it’s really lemony.

I would add—I’m not sure I would like it hot. But it makes a really nice iced tea.

Sounds lovely! I am looking forward to iced tea weather.
