Chamomile Citrus

The first thing I noticed was the wonderful smell I got when I opened this pack. It smells divinely! However I wouldn’t really call this a chamomile citrus, it’s more like a citrus chamomile. While it is relaxing, it’s also sort of refreshing too. This strikes me as a tea that would be good to drink around cold and flu season. It seems like it would be soothing for your throat.

I’d really have to sip this one again to see how I really feel. I think.

From a Mighty Leaf Tea Assortment pack

Smells great, and increadibly citrusy. The little tag suggests a steep time of 5 minutes.

The tea took a few minutes to actually do something, but it eventually started to turn the water a rich almost Blood orange colour, still smells citrusy with no chamomile scent (BONUS! ’cause I hate heavy chamomile) Not very not worthy, the flavour is VERY light. Perhaps iced with some lemonade would help this tea.

In general, I like herbal tisanes, but this one is not something I’d go out of my way to drink again. It’s not terrible, but there’s something about it I find disagreeable. The scent of the tea is like the smell of the inside of a plastic bottle of Vitamin C tablets — fruity and orangey, but kind of artificial. While drinking it, the orange overpowers the chamomile flavor, and I get a weird chalky sensation at the back of my throat.

I do feel relaxed after drinking this, but I don’t like the way it tastes, and I don’t like drinking it. I’ll stick with my tried and true Traditional Medicinals Easy Now, which is a “relaxing” chamomile blend that tastes far better than this, even if it is a regular bagged tea!

I’m trying this for the first time. It came in a sampler pack I purchased last weekend. I’m not a fan of chamomile so this will be difficult for me. Prior to steeping it smells like cough medicine. During and After Steeping it smells like a Medicinal Tea. I can’t taste the citrus at all. I can taste the Chamomile and it’s not as gross as I usually think Chamomiles are. I am going to increase my rating only because I don’t like Chamomile…and I am giving this a whirl. At first I didn’t like it at all but I tried it – another sip and another sip and as my sips progressed I found an acquired taste for it. It’s better than some Chamomile based teas I have tried but it’s not as good as Foxtrot from Adagio…then again – that’s in a world of it’s own…at least IMO.

Another triumph from Mighty Leaf! This chamomile tisane comes on quickly with the flavors of chamomile and citron, and is quietly overcome by a delightful rising honey flavor. As other tasters have mentioned, the often off-putting bitter taste of chamomile is delightfully absent. I have never tasted a Mighty Leaf blend that I didn’t like, and Chamomile Citrus is no exception.

I agree so much that this tea reminds me of fruity cereal! I was going to say Fruity Pebbles, but was not all that surprised that another user saw the resemblance as well… even if I thought of a different cereal, haha.

A more than decent tea with the most amount of chamomile and herbs blended together…quite the a blend! Its like a tea that begs you to sleep and promises a new day that will be as fulfilling as the next. The usually chamomile flavors are present giving an almost earthy-flowery profile while the orange zests and rose hips gives it a delicate touch and energy . The lemon grass, mint, and lemon myrtle imparts a really gives me a sense of a upliftment for the next day!

At first I just thought that it was tasting like Pinesol. Then I realised that, so much like the many others who have reviewed this tea, it does smell like Fruit Loops. I am not really sure that that is what I want my tea tasting like. I am going to have to come back to this one at some point for a better review.

I had this at a local restaurant, the Mandarin House of Milford, MA, and I adored it. I’m really picky about chamomile, I often have to sweeten it for it to be tolerable. But this tea was perfect, it has soft but rich flavor. The steep time on the tag is 5 minutes, but even when over-brewed this tea tastes very light and soft. I definitely recommend this to fans of chamomile teas, good ones at that.

Some have commented that it smells like Fruit Loops and I disagree. It smells clean, soft and fresh – the hint of citrus doesn’t overpower the floral, relaxing scent of the chamomile.

Found two bags of this while organizing my tea rack! What a pleasant surprise! :)

It smells SO strong! Other users had mentioned the smell of Fruit Loops and I totally agree. Holy crap. Almost smells too strong.

The taste is very lemony, not too much chamomile so I’m a little bit disappointed. It’s quite subtle, despite the fact that the smell knocks you off your feet. I kind of wish that the strong smell would mean a bit stronger of a flavor.

This tea would be great if I had a stuffy nose.

Tastes more like citrus and lemongrass to me. It’s got a little bit of a sharp taste to it. It’s pretty good.

If you like Chamomile tea and am a fan of citrus-ey fruits, especially oranges I’d say give this tea a shot. It’s a calming tea (for me at least) and I tend to enjoy a cup just before bed. Maybe pick up a sampler from Mightly Leaf before investing in a tin.

I like this tea given its caffeine free, but it doesn’t infuse more than once very well. Very refreshing for the first infusion though.

Good tea to just sip on and relax with

I don’t really think chamomile is for me. But it came in a variety pack, so what are you gonna do?

Wow. This is easily one of my new favorite teas. I’ll admit that I already love chamomile, but the citrus is a perfect addition. Neither flavor is too strong, and unlike a lot of herb/fruit combinations I’ve tried where the flavors come sequentially, they arrive together for a unique taste that doesn’t separate. Overall it’s a warm flavor that’s muted but not dull. I recommend it to everyone and its a new family favorite around here.

Yup, it definitely smells like fruitloops. It tastes of lemon. And something else that I’m assuming is the chamomile (I’ve never had a chamomile tea before). It’s much smoother than I thought it would be and surprisingly not bad. I could see myself drinking this again.

I’m gonna have to side with @TeaEqualsBliss & others on this one. While I’m not a huge fan of Chamomile I feel the flavor of this tea is lacking that where they come off as calling it “Citrus” I’m not sure. The aroma has a hint of medicinal to it, which always inhibits me from fully enjoying the tea. Sorry Mighty Leaf… maybe another try later. :-/

I just bought a tin of various Mighty Leaf Teas from Nordstrom’s E-Bar coffee shop. This one has a nice aroma blend of apple and orange when dry. Once in the hot water, the hibiscus and rose hips start bleeding rose color into the water, but complete submersion gives it a nice reddish-gold color like mild honey.

I find the Egyptian chamomile they use to be a lot milder than German, and the citrus is really what comes out in this tea. The aroma really makes you notice the little pieces of orange rind and bits of lemongrass. I do really like this brad’s use of silk mesh bags because you don’t get the stray leafage in your tea. It strains it perfectly.

Upon sipping, the chamomile taste is much more apparent than it is in the scent. It balances the citrus to the point where I can’t really taste either one over the other, and the rose hips come out nicely with a tiny bit of tanginess. Lightly astringent, I enjoy this tea’s effect. I can also imagine it would settle an upset tummy quite well. Afternoon to evening for this one, it’s definitely going to mellow you out.

Potpourri appearance with whole herbs displayed in an organza (ultra fine mesh) sachet. I love a good-lookin’ tea! A tsp of light agave nectar rounded the flavor out and added body. Similar to the less pricey Stash Lemon Blossom, but lacks it’s lemony zip. Very good in its own, milder way. I taste safflower, but it’s not in the ingredients listed by Mighty Leaf. P.S. Thanks to Becky, my tea swap partner, who sent me such a fine selection!
