Lemon Grass
This is by far the kindest and most wonderful tea company I’ve worked with! Thank you so much to Lea, Alex and everyone else who contributed to this delicious tea making its way To me!
Grown in Kenya by a small women’s cooperative, this organic lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) is deliciously bright and refreshing. In fact, it is the most vibrant tasting lemongrass we have ever tasted! Traditionally cultivated and enjoyed throughout Southeast Asia and Africa for both its role in traditional medicine and as a beverage, this lemongrass is true to its name delivering a slightly sweet lemony taste with just a hint of grassiness. Naturally caffeine-free, it makes an excellent loose leaf herbal tea on its own, or blend it with your favorite cuppa’ for a lemony organic boost!
Please note: We recommend always brewing this herbal tea with hot water (as cold brewing does not result in a strong lemon flavor). If you prefer to enjoy lemongrass as an iced tea, simply brew with hot water and then chill or pour over ice. Checkout our easy step-by-step guide to making iced tea!

This Organic Lemongrass is grown and produced by Meru Herbs, a small women’s cooperative in Kenya. Located along the Kithino River in the lush Meru region of Kenya where mango, papaya, lemon, pineapple, and guava are also grown, this co-op was originally created to provide job opportunities and fair wages for Kenyan women. Eighty percent of the employees in this small co-op are women who fulfill positions in farming, harvesting, processing, and management. Meru Herbs also helps to educate other local farmers about organic farming, empower women in the community, and to acquire vital resources (specifically irrigation) for the community.
At Arbor Teas, we believe tea should be brewed to suit your personal taste. We’re happy to make recommendations to get you started, but don’t hesitate to experiment! When brewing your tea, your main considerations are tea quantity, water temperature, and steeping time. We recommend herbal and rooibos teas to be steeped for 5 to 7 minutes in water heated to a full rolling boil. For the best flavor, use fresh water whenever possible, and avoid overboiling. If you want a stronger brew, just use more tea. And don’t forget to re-steep your tea leaves to get the most out of your leaf!

I drink a lot of tea, but the lemongrass is my go-to. Great way to wake up and go to sleep. Sometimes I make it strong, sometimes weak, but it is always refreshing.
Either alone or blended with other teas, this is simply fabulous.
