I don't really care for this tea by itself, but it's lovely brewed with a black or oolong tea to mellow out the cup or paired with a fruity herbal.

This is a refreshing, mildly flavored green tea that I enjoyed with a little raw honey. I steeped it for 3 minutes at 180 degrees. I plan to try this iced without any sweetener.

I enjoy my green teas. And this was pleasant with the notes of citrus. I do wish it had more orange taste to it. But it was still refreshing

A light bodied green tea. I wouldn’t mind a little more Mandarin flavor. I am looking for a strong orange flavor to replace the honeybush orange that adagio discontinued.

Having just started really delving into green tea, this has become a favorite so far. While the grassiness is still quite prominent, there is a subtle fruitiness that sweetens this tea

A mild green tea. Light, grassy flavors. I couldn't taste any mandarin/orange, even once it cooled down - which usually helps bring out fruity flavors. Though I tried to be careful with the temp and time, my second steep was quite astringent. Not a bad green tea, but not my favorite.
Steeped (1) 175F 2.5min, (2) 1.5min

The flavor of the green tea itself was mild and smooth, and while there were grassy notes, they were not overpowering in taste. It did have a pretty pungent grassy aroma that was hard to get past. The mandarin flavor was almost non-existent, though it did come forward a tiny bit as the tea cooled. I enjoyed the second steep more than the first.

This is a smooth green that's just a little bit grassy. I didn't taste any orange in mine and if I were to make it again, I would add some myself. Overall, this was still a very enjoyable cup.

This is a nice light green tea. There are subtle tropical flavors, but nothing that I can confidently say "oh, that's ____". Overall, not bad.

This is less an orange green tea and more a green tea that was thinking about oranges. The mandarin flavor is far too subtle for my tastes.

Subtle orange tastes, but there's also notes of Smarties candy to it. Overall, it was pretty tasty if you like subtle and refreshing.

This tea is far more subtle than I was expecting it to be but that absolutely works in its favor. The orange flavors accentuate the gree rather than smother it.

This green tea is really wonderful and refreshing! The leaves smell subtly fruity, and the brewed tea tastes a bit like candy to me - a mix of bubble gum and Smarties. The flavor is a tad artificial for my taste, but I still really enjoyed it! It's light and not too bitter. A great overall green tea that I could have more than occasionally.

Tried this initially as a sample packet and I did not taste the mandarin. This review is based on my Communitea packet. The tangy zest from the citrus and the grassiness of the green tea combine well for a refreshing cup of tea.

Delicious, mild green tea perfectly paired with a light citrus. The tea is not grassy or harsh at all; it's very smooth. The citrus added is just a touch so it doesn't overwhelm the tea. Very nice balance of flavors.

I can't never stand the citrus flavor in my tea. It just smells like fake citrus essential oil. Yuck

This is a very nice tea with a lovely delicious citrus flavor. I think citrus is a perfect pair for green tea and this is one of the best I've tried.
