Description

Dried lemon grass leaves to make a zesty, refreshing drink that is highly satisfying both hot and cold. A native of South East Asia, Lemon Grass was introduced to these parts with the growing popularity of Thai cuisine. It has a light lemony taste, with slight hint of ginger. And is known to lift a sagging spirit, as well as aid digestion. Recent studies also show that Lemon Grass has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. Best of all, it tastes great. If you have yet to try it, we recommend it highly. Naturally caffeine-free.

Story

Lemon Grass is a member of the Poaceae family, which includes all the common grasses. Originally from Malaysia, it flourishes in any humid climate. Lemon grass may be harvested several times in a season by cutting the upper portion of the leafy material, which quickly grows back for a second cutting. It is hugely popular among the lovers of Asian cooking, especially Thai food. And had recently found an herbal tea following. Most of the Lemon Grass used as herb tea comes from Argentina, Hawaii and Chile.

"I will mix this with samples I find unimpressive to give them another dimension, but my main use for it is cooking. It's very good to have on hand to spontaneously add flavor to dishes without having to go out and purchase fresh lemongrass."

"I love adding a little bit to my chamomile. I haven't tried it plain because I like adding it to other things."

"Tastes exactly what you would think lemon grass would taste like. I suppose if you were creative you could find things to mix it with, but it isn't bad by itself on occasion. It's just not something I would drink a whole lot of."

"It never occured to me before to take lemon grass as a straight up tea. A pity as it's great, especially iced."
