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."
"i love it, very refreshing, i drink it hot or cold."
"Great to mix with mate (which Adagio doesn't sell) and other green teas. "
"It never occured to me before to take lemon grass as a straight up tea. A pity as it's great, especially iced."
