Lemongrass, Organic, Cut & Sifted

Lemongrass is one of those herbs that needs no introduction and no convincing. Bright, clean, unmistakably citrusy — it is the scent of Thai kitchens and Southeast Asian markets, of herbal teas that taste like sunshine, of the kind of herb that makes people stop and ask what that smell is. Native to tropical Asia and cultivated across the world for both culinary and medicinal use, lemongrass has been a staple of traditional medicine in India, Southeast Asia, and Latin America for centuries. In Ayurveda it is a classic digestive and fever herb. In Brazilian folk medicine it is one of the most widely used calming teas. And in kitchens from Bangkok to São Paulo, it is simply indispensable. An herb that crosses every boundary between food and medicine with effortless grace.

Our lemongrass is organic cut and sifted — the aromatic leaves and stalks of Cymbopogon citratus, carefully dried to preserve its essential oils, citral, and flavonoids. Bright, clean, and intensely lemony with a fresh grassy depth that is entirely its own. Certified organic and packed to order in small batches.

A note on preparation: lemongrass makes one of the most naturally pleasant and approachable herbal teas available — bright, citrusy, and naturally caffeine-free. It blends beautifully with virtually everything and is an excellent base for custom tea blends.
