Lemongrass Tea from India — sourced, graded and export-ready.
Grown in the lush, tropical environments of Southern India, our Lemongrass is
air-dried to flawlessly preserve its vibrant green color and potent, zesty
citrus aroma. Completely caffeine-free and loaded with high citral content,
Lemongrass acts as a phenomenal standalone digestive/detox tea, a foundational
blending herb for iced teas, and a crucial ingredient in authentic South East
Asian culinary pastes.
