I never intended to review any of the herbal fruit teas that I received from Buddha’s Herbs because, to be honest, I’m not really into fruit flavored teas. However, upon tasting Mint & Citrus Fruit Tea by Buddha’s Herbs I immediately fell in love. I can honestly say that it is my favorite fruit tea by this generous tea company!

THE HUE
A golden yellow hue permeates the water when brewing Mint & Citrus Fruit Tea. I would also describe it as a cross of the colors orange and yellow. It is a very subdued color, concentrated but not bright. One could note Mint & Citrus Fruit Tea by Buddha’s Herbs as having a muted yellow or even a muted orange hue.
THE SCENT
A concoction of licorice, lemongrass and lime pervade the first whiff. The delicate notes of mint end the scent. Spearmint (my favorite!) as well as peppermint lend a refreshing note to the scent without overwhelming the fragrance.
Although the tea has quite a few floral ingredients, one wouldn’t know by the scent. Rose hips and hibiscus buds may, however, lend to the smooth and gentle scent of Mint & Citrus Fruit Tea.
THE SIP
Without 2 teaspoons of honey, Mint & Citrus Fruit Tea has a very citrus effect. The tea is very lemon-y without a sour consequence. The lemon note is accentuated by the taste of mint and the sip ends with a pleasant clean fruit aroma likened to orange.
When I added 2 teaspoons of honey, the citrus notes remained dominant. The mint tussled with the licorice, which was a pleasant experience. The sugars in the honey accentuated the lemongrass notes and the sip concluded with mint notes instead of orange notes that ended the tea taste without honey.
THE EFFECT
Mint & Citrus Fruit Tea makes me bright and happy! It may be the only thing that I have to hold onto Summer 2016. I never thought I could love a fruit tea as much as I love this fruit tea. You can even tell that it isn’t flavored with essential oils because there isn’t a film sitting on top of the tea after the steep. It really is a great tea!
