More infusion tips
How to infuse your tea is very personal, and these are just our recommendations based on experience. Please experiment with these variables to your heart's delight. These are our recommendations, not hard and fast rules. The most delicious tea is the one you love.
Our guide uses a standard tea cup size (150ml/5.5 oz) as a measure, please adjust the quantity of leaf accordingly for less or more water. Our whole loose leaves are of such a high quality that you can infuse our teas at least twice, and the second infusion is often better than the first, with different flavours revealed as the leaf softens. If you prefer your tea stronger, add more leaf, don’t leave it for longer (this will just make it bitter).

ORGANIC
Sri Lankan Lemongrass
A blend of lemongrasses from both the Amba Estate and smallholder gardens across Sri Lanka.
Originally all sourced from the Amba Estate, but demand soon outstripped supply. Due to our practice of direct trade, our direct investments have allowed us to work with other growers from a cooperative of organic small holders across the country, making sure we are always well stocked with this wonderful herb.

HAND CRAFTED
Unique Flavour
Our lemongrass is cut, dried and packed by hand on the farm to preserve its unique flavour.
This infusion makes a perfect pick-me-up, digestif or accompaniment to both sweet and savoury dishes.

Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka
Amba is an organic tea garden in the highlands of Sri Lanka, situated in the mountains above the Ravanna Falls. Incorporating a wildlife sanctuary, this small but thriving estate in the Uva hills grows not only teas but also extraordinary lemongrass, which infuses to make an invigorating herbal tea.
