I agree with the other reviewers here who state that the flavor doesn't pack the potency the aroma implies. I could sniff the packaging of this tea all day long; the scent is almost intoxicating. It smells like one of the old descriptions Tazo used to use on the side of the boxes, to the effect of, "biting into a fresh orange from a Marrakesh market".
While the flavor lags far behind the scent, it's not bad. Make no mistake, the orange is there, and good, but the other ingredients dilute it too much. I like lemongrass, but Tazo seems to use it as a filler here, at the expense of the orange. When I brew long (as usual) to pull out all flavor, it gets a little too sour. Advice to Tazo: dial back on the citric acid and replace 50% of the lemongrass with more orange peel.
