MONSTER ENERGY DRAGON ICE TEA LEMON
This is the MONSTER ENERGY DRAGON ICE TEA LEMON from the Dragon Tea series, which features a unique Chinese design and was released in Brazil in 2020.
Although the Dragon Tea series that was sold in North America has been discontinued, this product remains a bestseller in Brazil and is still in production. I bought it from an Austrian import shop, so the price listed is in euros.

In 2001, while living in the United States, I encountered energy drinks through the dance scene and was deeply impressed. After returning to Japan, I found that energy drinks were considered novelty beverages, so I established a comprehensive website in 2013 to share the true appeal of energy drinks. As an energy drink enthusiast, I began drinking them seriously again, collecting over 7,000 varieties of energy drinks from various countries. I am also active as a critic and expert, receiving media interviews.
Flavor of MONSTER ENERGY DRAGON ICE TEA LEMON
As soon as I open the can, I’m hit with the intense lemony aroma, far beyond what I expected—a lemon tea fragrance that is very inviting! It smells delicious! Now, let me take a sip.
The first taste is juicy and tangy, like fresh lemon flesh, followed by the sweet, refreshing taste of black tea. The strong flavoring gives a satisfying lemon tea experience.
Although a lemon tea flavor from the Dragon Tea series is also available in North America, this one stands out with its strong and juicy lemon fragrance, which I personally really enjoy.
The flavor is also more robust than the North American version, with a noticeable soft sweetness that adds to the overall depth. This may be a flavor profile unique to the subtropical region.
It’s a non-carbonated lemon tea that offers both the refreshing taste of lemon and the satisfaction of a full flavor—no wonder it has become a long-time bestseller.
Energy Ingredients of MONSTER ENERGY DRAGON ICE TEA LEMON
It contains 134mg of caffeine, 1772mg of taurine, and 9.46mg of guarana. The juice includes lemon, acai, and goji berries.
Despite its tropical flavor that feels refreshing and sweet, it only contains 5g of sugar, making it a low-calorie option.
Design of MONSTER ENERGY DRAGON ICE TEA LEMON
The main color is a lime-like yellow-green, with Monster Energy’s logo in brown, reminiscent of tea, and a golden dragon illustrated in a Chinese-style design.
Unlike the North American version of the Dragon Tea series, which has a white can, the Brazilian DRAGON ICE TEA series features cans wrapped entirely in the main color of each flavor, making it stand out.
On the side of the can, there’s the common “Spirit God” symbol seen in the Dragon series.
The back of the can includes a short energy poem about Chinese tea and this particular lemon tea energy drink.
Why is a tea energy drink with an ancient Chinese and dragon theme being sold in Brazil? For people abroad, the “DRAGON ICE TEA” design might have a mysterious and exotic appeal, strongly influenced by China’s ancient history. As a result, it became a long-running bestseller after its release in 2020.
