Lemongrass Herbal Tea

Herbal Tea by The Tao of Tea

Lemongrass (botanical name ‘Cymbopogon citratus’) is a cooling, clear and crisp herbal tea with a distinctive, spicy, lemony aroma. In addition to its use as a delicious and aromatic ingredient in Southeast Asian cooking, it also has many medicinal properties and is known to relieve fatigue, reduce stress, soothe the stomach, and help to induce sleep. It can be used to loosen and lessen mucous as well as to treat fevers and cramps. The essential oil is used as an ingredient in cosmetics and perfumes and is known for its antibacterial properties. Lemongrass can also be used to blend with other teas and herbs. Caffeine free.

It’s lemongrass. There’s not much that can be said about it other than it’s citrusy, slightly grassy and light. Not much of an impression by itself, but it can be added to other teas perfectly. Really goes well with their Jing Mai White.

This tea is dried organic lemongrass, pure and simple, which I suppose to some people would mean that it isn’t really tea. Whether it counts as tea or not, it’s excellent. The lemongrass has a strong, bright flavor, and the aroma is wonderful. Since it’s herbal, it also works well as a nighttime tea. Definitely one of my favorite herbal teas.

I always start this off way hotter and stronger than I’d like it plain, so I can add lots of milk and clover honey. Feel good tea!
