Medicine Ball

$17.00

Medicine Ball is our take on that beloved honey citrus mint flavor, a bright, refreshing green tea blend with a soft, cozy finish. You’ll notice lively lemongrass and orange up front, a cool spearmint lift, and gentle notes of peach and chamomile that keep each cup interesting. It’s familiar and comforting, with a subtle floral sweetness that makes it easy to sip any time of day.

Enjoy it hot with a squeeze of lemon and a drizzle of honey, or chill it for a clean, fruity iced tea that still carries that minty lift. The blend steeps smoothly and stays balanced, so it works well as a quick pick-me-up or a slow, relaxing cup.

Customer Reviews

Customers overwhelmingly call Whistling Kettle’s “Medicine Ball” an aromatic, flavorful and smooth dupe (often said to be equal or better) of Starbucks’ Honey Citrus Mint—minty but not overpowering, with green tea, peach/citrus/lemongrass notes, great hot or iced and especially soothing for colds/congestion. Reviewers praise the quality, large bags and value; a few mention it’s milder or less sweet on the lemon/mint than Starbucks (easy to adjust with honey or lemonade).

Pure Tea Perfection – Aromatic, Flavorful & Addictive!

☕✨ If you love tea as much as I do, then you have to check out The Whistling Kettle! Their tea is absolutely delicious—beautifully packaged, and the moment you open the bag, the aroma is just breathtaking. 😍 The ingredients? Pure perfection! Every blend looks and smells like a dream, and you can instantly tell it’s top quality.

But here’s the best part: If you’re a fan of the Medicine Ball tea from Starbucks (like me 🙋‍♀️), you might as well wave goodbye to it! 👋 Because The Whistling Kettle’s version (with green tea, spearmint, apple, rose hips, lemongrass, pineapple, peach, chamomile, lemon verbena, orange, marigold flowers & natural flavors) is 100 times better—more flavorful, more aromatic, just next-level amazing.

I’m officially addicted! 😆💛✨ #TeaLover #TheWhistlingKettle #TeaObsession

Bye Starbucks

I have spent a small fortune on the honey citrus mint tea aka the medicine ball from Starbucks. Today that relationship ended with one sip of WKs rendition. I have officially broken all ties with them.

Medicine Never Tasted So Good

Minty, but not overpowering, TWK's Medicine Ball is a delicious and cleaver blend. Not as potent as strait mint or peppermint, Medicine ball is a perfect tea for a relaxing afternoon. This blend is not simply for when you are under the weather, but is rather a delicacy suited for any occasion. The subtle citrus hints adds tremendously to the union. A+ 5/5

The perfect “feel better” tea!

Whistling Kettle has done it again! My favorite teas are all from WK and this one is at the top of my list. Tastes just like the drink we all know and love from Starbucks. It’s the perfect blend of flavors and is great for those who love green tea and for those who think they don’t. It holds up well for a 2nd steeping which tastes as great as the 1st.

My favorite tea

I steam a little lemonade and honey yo add to this. I have it everyday. It’s been a lifesaver this cold season. Tastes better than Starbucks for a fraction of the price.
