A couple of the previous comments state that this tea is bitter, and it's true: it can easily become so if the temperature is not just right. Because it is rather heat-sensitive, I actually started brewing at around 165 degrees rather than the usual 175, and it's improved the over-all taste enormously! It's not that over-steeping causes the bitter taste, but the heat. I've found that the taste is just as good if left steeping for more than what it calls for.

Also, because of the lack of real citrus flavor, I've come into the habit of using 1.5 teaspoons. It's really worth it to go the extra mile, because the end result is fabulous. It really is one of my favorite teas to enjoy, either hot or iced! (Rather improved my waistline, as well, haha)

how can they leave out an ingredient like cinnamon??!?! it dulls all the orange flavors and all i could taste was cinnamon, mostly b/c i don't like it in tea!

I like this tea. It is mild, sweet and it is good hot with splenda. It has a mild orange flavor that reminds me of orange caricao.I brew it for 2 minutes in a tea ball. It is not bitter at all. Some people do not know how to brew green tea. This tea tastes perfect even if I brew a bit longer. I also enjoy strawberry paraiso,& green tea heaven.This is the fourth green tea I have tried from teavana and it is one of my favorites. It tastes really good.

While the concept of citrus and green tea is amazing, I found this tea to be strangely average. I can hardly tell there are orange peels in this tea. Tones are too subtle. Very easy to over-steep.

I discovered Teavana only a few months ago, but have since had to create a tea budget for myself to avoid spending massive amounts of money on it. I love this tea for a general afternoon/evening tea (not too late at night, it does have a caffeine kick to it) because the orange is really subtle and doesn't overpower the green flavor. Like the title says, it's a great balance of the delicate green and the citrus orange. For someone like me that loves the orange scent/taste but not the pulp, this is perfect!

My brother bought me this tea for Christmas, and I've never tried to drink tea made from anything other than a tea bag. ((I know, I'm terrible)). The first time I had this tea, I wasn't impressed, and found it really hard to try it again. Then I read the directions. I've since made this tea with the right temp water, and seeped it for the right amount of time, and now I love it!
For someone who isn't really into tea that much, I loved it and will continue to drink it. I cannot wait to finish this tin, and get another kind!

This is a nice tea. A little high maintenance, but nice. I got this as a Christmas present from my boyfriend. Now I normally don't drink green tea because I find it much too bitter. Normally I drink white tea or herbal. However this tea caught me by surprise. It was somewhat sweet and tangy with a lite bitter kick at the end. Exactly how I like my tea. But it was very weak when I seeped it for the first time, which was very disappointing. The caffeine kick that I got was very unexpected. I'm never going back to prepackaged bagged tea again.
