Yes! You're probably talking about capim cidreira (it has several names here in Brazil like capim cidreira, erva cidreira or capim santo). It's a great tea, with an amazing aroma.
I wonder how the green tea flavoring pairs with the sweetness of the 'dessert' combinations... I like that they mellow out some of the strongness of the black teas.

Ah yes capim cidreira, I wasn't sure about the exact name! I was told about it by a Brazilian exchange/visiting student during my uni days, and she wasn't sure about it 100% either. It seems so interesting, I'd love to try it one day. (As well as yaupon tea and Greek mountain tea (sideritis)... I'm curious about these sorts of 'natural' varieties.)
