# Tea-Infused Yuzu Jellies Trader Joe's Green Tea and Yuzu Spread is Refreshingly Aromatic By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2024-06-29 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-tea-and-yuzu-spread References: [traderjoes](https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/green-tea-and-yuzu-spread-078573)  [Trader Joe's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apricot-cardamom-spread) is offering consumers something a little different than their usual [jams and jellies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calvados-spirited-fruit-spread) with the debut of its new Green Tea and Yuzu Spread. For those unfamiliar, yuzu is a citrus fruit primarily found in East Asia. The fruit has a bright, citrus flavor that pairs well with sweet, earthy, and even spicy flavors. In this case, Trader Joe's Belgian supplier has paired tart [yuzu juice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/you-be-yuzu-summer) with green tea that's been infused with lemongrass, ginger, and orange peel, along with apple and lemon juice concentrates. The result is a sweet, yet citric spread that's like a more tart version of marmalade. Perfect for spreading on toast or marinading roast chicken, Trader Joe's new Green Tea and Yuzu Spread is a surprisingly versatile jelly.
