Lemon Verbena
This Lemon Verbena Tea is smallholder grown. The farmers carefully remove the lemon verbena tea leaves individually by hand and then dry them both in the sun and in a controlled micro drier.
The leaves are not crushed and kept whole. The infusion is clean and bright with some spicy touches. The taste is bright and intensely of fresh lemon. This tea makes a perfect evening drink as it’s caffeine-free and has a winding down effect.
