-- though it’s got that citrusy swagger. Imagine a lemon’s eccentric, world-traveling cousin who shows up to the family reunion with a thicker, wrinklier yellow rind and a story from every continent.
Citron, or Citrus medica if you’re feeling fancy, is one of the OG citrus fruits, hailing from India and Southeast Asia. It’s the granddaddy of the citrus family, the one that kicked off the whole lemon-lime-orange party through natural and artificial hybridization over millennia.
Unlike its pulpier relatives, citron’s star is its thick, fragrant rind—think less juicy, more zesty. The pulp’s sour and acidic, but it’s the rind that’s the real MVP, often candied, pickled, or used to add a citrusy punch to dishes from marmalades to glazes.
Now, let’s talk about our Citron Green Iced Tea, a blend so harmonious it’s like a jazz quartet jamming in your mouth.
We start with premium green tea, those sun-kissed leaves packed with antioxidants that make your body say, “Thank you!” Then we toss in the zest of citron, a sprinkle of orange, marigold flowers for a floral whisper, and natural lemon and orange flavors to tie it all together.

The result? A drink that’s vibrant, refreshing, and just citrusy enough to wake up your taste buds without puckering your face. It’s low-calorie, loaded with vitamins C and A, potassium, and calcium, and a healthier swap for those sugary sodas that leave you crashing by 3 p.m.
One sip, and you’re strolling through a verdant forest where citrus fruits and green tea leaves dance under a golden sun.

Why’s this tea so perfect for a hot summer day?
Because it’s like air conditioning for your soul. Brew a pouch in cool water, pour it over a mountain of ice, and watch those cubes crackle as the tea cascades in. Add a lemon wedge for that classic zing and a few strawberry slices for a hint of sweetness that screams summer.
The citron’s unique flavor—less tart than lemon, more aromatic, with a subtle sweetness—cuts through the heat like a cool breeze. It’s not just refreshing; it’s revitalizing.
The green tea brings a gentle, earthy depth, while the citron and citrus notes lift it to a whole new level of crisp. It’s the kind of drink you sip slowly, savoring every moment, maybe while flipping through a book or chatting with friends on a porch swing.
And let’s be real: that first sip, with the glass sweating in your hand and the ice clinking like a tiny percussion section, is pure, unadulterated bliss.
The history of citron adds a little mystique to every glass.
This wrinkly wonder has been stealing hearts for over 4,000 years, popping up in ancient Chinese texts and making its way to Japan by the 9th century, where it became a culinary rockstar.
From Asian kitchens to modern mixology, citron’s been the secret ingredient in everything from perfumes to pickles. Its thick rind, often candied or used in glazes, brings a flavor that’s both familiar and exotic—think lemon with a PhD in world travel.
When we blended it with green tea, we knew we had something special: a drink that’s as storied as it is delicious, a nod to tradition with a modern twist that’s perfect for today’s adventurous sippers.But let’s get to the good stuff: why you need this tea in your life.
First, it’s a health kick in a glass.
Green tea’s antioxidants are like little superheroes, fighting free radicals and boosting your wellness game. Citron’s vitamins and minerals? They’re the sidekicks, adding a nutrient punch that keeps you glowing. Second, it’s versatile.
Serve it straight over ice for a quick refresh, or get fancy with those strawberry slices and a lemon wedge for a drink that’s practically Instagram-worthy. Hosting a summer barbecue?
Pour it into a pitcher, toss in some fresh mint, and watch your guests beg for the recipe. Feeling extra? Blend it with a splash of sparkling water for a fizzy twist. No matter how you sip it, Citron Green Iced Tea delivers a burst of flavor that’s as cooling as it is craveable.
Now, imagine you’re sitting by a lake, the sun dipping low, a breeze ruffling your hair. You take a sip of this tea, and the world slows down. The citron’s zesty kick mingles with the green tea’s smooth finish, and those strawberry slices add just a hint of sweetness. It’s not just a drink; it’s a moment.
And the best part? You don’t have to hunt down a citron in some far-flung market or wrestle with its thick rind.
We’ve done the work for you, blending it into a pouch that’s ready to steep and sip. All you need is a glass, some ice, and a willingness to let the summer vibes flow.
