Citrus flavors of lemon and orange paired with the light bodied natural fruitiness of green rooibos will carry you away to orange groves and lemon trees. Great hot or iced this naturally caffeine-free juicy, uplifting blend will bring a ray of sunshine to your cup.

I opened the bag and was awash in a divine smell! Full citrus smell, oranges and lemons but not like dish-soap, just very fresh and crisp and yummy! It tastes just like it smells, delicious! There is a bit of the earthiness from the actual rooibos, but the citrus flavors have the limelight here! (Yes, I know that’s my second terrible joke today.) There might be some sort of mint to it. I could be wrong, but there’s this hint of something tingly like mint, may just be the citrus though. Either way once this sample runs out, or even before it does, I have all intentions of buying more, it’s just so good!
Cold brewed in the fridge for about 18 hours using 2.5 tsp leaf (I think?) for ~500 ml water.
First time trying a) green rooibos, and b) an Adagio product, despite my username. I think I prefer rooibos green, though to be fair I haven’t yet drunk enough of the regular red kind to develop an opinion on it.
Flavor was a cross between candy-like and medicinal citrus (mostly orange), with a slight tingly/prickly sensation in the mouth – not sure whether that’s the flavoring or the rooibos. I didn’t love it, but it seems like a pretty decent blend.
First of all, I’m grateful for green rooibos because I can’t stand the red bush stuff anymore after getting so tired of it.
I was really craving a lemon flavored tea one day when I remembered I had a sample of this to try. The lemony scent from opening it was perfect and just what I wanted.
Brewed its pretty nice but best enjoyed with a lemon cookie! I imagine it would be amazing with some lemon flavored sugar. One day I’ll make some and come back to this.

My first impression upon opening the sample pouch of this was “lemon pledge” furniture polish, which is another way of describing lemon verbena. Yet there is no lemon verbena in this, and no full lemon, either— just lemon flavoring! Well it is potent to the nose. Fortunately, steeping (as directed) tempers down that lemony flavor a skosh, and allows me to appreciate the actual orange content, as notes of juiciness. The background green rooibos was indiscernible to me, which was probably a good thing. Yet something else was rounding out the sweetness and flavor profile, which must have been the apricot and mango content. Subtle, but there. Yeah I liked this, but still wish they’d turned down the lemon flavor a few notches. It might have been better if replaced by bergamot, but maybe that is another blend. The lemon dominates the long finish, and so I’m torn. I don’t want to praise nor impugn this. It is a very well done lemon, I just don’t care for that. I’ll rate this a 60 for now, and see if it grows on me when iced, during my next encounter.
Flavors: Apricot, Lemon, Mango, Orange, Sweet
Green rooibos teas are probably my favorite. The problem with the ones from Adagio is that they’re all pretty similar, but one (key west) is so much better than the others that I basically don’t bother with them. So I like this, but I prefer bonita above it as well. Smooth green rooibos flavor with citrus flavors. Good, but order the others above this one.
