Product information

Cymbopogon citratus, commonly known as Lemongrass, originated in warm climates, including Central America and Southeast Asia, but is now prevalent all over the globe. Its culinary impact is undeniable, but it is also recognized for its health benefits and ability to repel mosquitos.

Organically cultivated plants originate in our nursery and are selected from the best adapted cultivars. Harvesting is done by hand near the flowering stage of the plant cycle (when essential oil concentration is higher). Leaves are dried at low temperatures, never exceeding 25ºC. The best leaves are selected by hand.

Combine 2 tablespoons of Lemongrass leaves with 1 litre of 90°C water in your vessel of choice (tea strainer, tea pot, or even right into the mug). Let the leaves steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea.
