What a nice, fun tea! Tea Forte's Lemon Sorbetti green tea has a lovely light and sweet tone. It's definitely lemony, without being the awful, sickly artificial lemon flavor of bottled iced tea. The name is apt; this tea is very close to a lemon sherbet/sorbet in use of lemon flavor. I let the tea steep a little longer than is recommended for green teas (entirely by accident), but it didn't go bitter. The underlying green tea seems to be more on the floral end of greens than the grassy end, and it works well with other flavor elements.
The website says the sweetness comes from honey, but I don't see any honey in the ingredient list. I can't imagine wanting this tea to be sweeter than it is. However, if you only like sweet tea, I definitely recommend using a wildflower or clover honey.
