Sabor a limón
Lemon Flavour brings together teas and herbal infusions built around citrus. Some, such as lemon verbena, lemongrass and lemon balm, are herbs whose leaves carry a naturally lemony aroma. Others pair a tea base or a herbal blend with citrus peel for a bright, zesty cup. The lemon character ranges from sharp and green to soft and sweet depending on the plant.
Whether a cup contains caffeine depends on its base. Lemon herbs such as lemongrass and lemon verbena are caffeine-free on their own, while a lemon-scented black or green tea contains caffeine from the tea plant. Each product page notes the base so you know what you are brewing.
Brewing lemon infusions
For caffeine-free lemon herbs, use freshly boiled water and steep for five to seven minutes. For a green or black tea base, follow the temperature for that tea, usually below boiling for green. Lemon infusions also work well iced, poured over ice after a slightly stronger steep. Store dried herbs and blends sealed and away from light.
