Bright and breezy, this fragrant grass brings a clean citrus lift to the cup. Lemongrass thrives in warm, humid climates, forming tall, blade-like leaves in dense clumps across many subtropical regions, from Southeast Asia through India to parts of Africa, Australia, and South America.
Long used in home kitchens and everyday tea tables, Lemongrass later found a wider place in modern tea blends as tastes for lighter, lemon-scented infusions grew.
Steep it on its own for a clear, lemony sip with a smooth, lightly drying finish, or tuck a tea bag into black, green, or herbal teas to add a sunny, refreshing twist.
