ⓘYour precious tea really needs to be kept airtight and away from light once you open it - we'd strongly recommend one of our tins to keep it safe.

Naturally caffeine free.

A rich and exceptionally bright herbal infusion with grassy notes of fresh hay and lemon drops.

Recommended Infusion Guide

  • Quantity

    Use 2g of leaf per 150ml of water.

  • Temperature

    For the optimum infusion use 100°C (212°F) water.

  • Time

    Infuse for 2 - 3 minutes, tasting regularly.

  • Infusions

    You can infuse these herbs at least three times. With each careful infusion, different subtleties of flavour are revealed.

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.

Tastes great. I brew it along with my spiced masala chai and it tastes perfect.

Delicious for multiple rebrews!

We enjoy this for many occasions: breakfast, work, and leisure reading. Also great as an iced tea for hot days!

Lemongrass Tea

This is such a tasty tea, superior to anything else we have found. We may be biased as we have been to Amba Estate and it tastes as good in the UK as it did in Sri Lanka but unfortunately we don’t have the weather. For us it’s a little bit of Sri Lanka.

Great tea

I am an avid lemongrass fan and this tea was just what I needed. Its flavour light and citrusy.
