Citrusy Teas with Bright Notes

From light and airy lavender notes to rich and vibrant bergamot aromas, these teas are sure to delight the senses and the palate. Fruits, herbs and essential oils have been blended into teas for centuries, offering unique and complex tastes to the traditional base flavors of many teas. This collection of tea is ideal for those who like a slight sweetness to their brew, as well as those who enjoy the tart or tangy flavors from citrus peels or other botanical blends. 

How to Brew Bright Teas

In general, these teas will express themselves best when brewed delicately, allowing the volatile herbal and citrus flavors of the tea to shine. More hearty and resilient blends — such as the black tea or Pu’er selections — can easily handle more vigorous brews. We suggest brewing 2 tablespoons of loose leaf tea (or one tea sachet) per 8 ounces of hot water for 2 to 5 minutes.

FAQs

Some of these options do have dried fruit in their blend, but not all. Options like the Citrus Peel Pu’er will have dried fruit added to the blend, some are scented with pure essential oils, while our other options have innate citrus notes from the tea leaves.

These teas have a wide range of caffeine, from caffeine-free botanicals to high-caffeine black teas. Individual caffeine contents will be listed on the product page.

In this context, the term “bright” refers to sharp, acidic, and slightly sweet flavors. Brightness is often associated with citrus flavors like orange and bergamot, or aromatics like lemongrass.

If stored properly away from moisture and heat, teas do not technically spoil. Aside from specially aged varieties (like Pu’er), teas will begin to lessen in flavor and quality after 6 months to a year, depending on the tea. All products are marked with Best By dates on the package as guidance.
