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.
"Excellent tea. Tastes great alone or blended with peppermint or spearmint. I drink this tea at night before bed or when I want to relax."

"I never had lemon grass before, and didn't know what to expect. Some people seem to imply that it's a "filler" for other teas, only really useful to complement the dominant flavor. I found it to be a great tea all by itself. The infused product is light clear yellow with a very subtle taste. I found it refreshing and pleasant. I will be ordering more when this runs out. A very good bargin. "
"Lovely! When I opened the tin I was overcome with the wonderful, citrusy smell, and I was pleasantly surprised to note that the flavour lived up to the scent. I'm also able to use it in a pinch when I'm out of lemons and I want a nice black tea with lemon.
Would definitely re-order!"
"I wasn't expecting this to be so awesome. I was just curious and decided to try it out. It's absolutely brilliant. The only downside is that it smells exactly like my favorite type of spring roll, so I end up really hungry while I'm drinking it. :-p"
"This is by far my most favorite herbal tea that I've tried. Perfect for after dinner (or any time really), it's crisp, clean and lemony. "
"Delicious and refreshing!It is good hot or cold. I mixed it with peppermint."
