Organic Lemongrass Leaf – Dried Loose Tea Herb | Cymbopogon citratus | Thai-Grown Citrus Herb for Tea, Bath & Clarity

Bright, zesty, and uplifting—this organic lemongrass leaf brings a burst of clarity to teas, baths, and daily herbal rituals.

Herbal Overview

Lemongrass is one of those quietly powerful herbs—instantly recognizable by its crisp citrus aroma and subtly grounding flavor. Our Organic Lemongrass Leaf (Cymbopogon citratus) is harvested in Thailand, where the soil and sun combine to create an herb full of bold scent and flavor, with a lively sharpness that sets it apart from the softer Guatemalan variety.

Once cut and gently dried, this herb becomes a versatile addition to your herbal pantry. It blends beautifully with mints, ginger, or hibiscus for bright, energizing teas, and it shines in bath blends, facial steams, and sachets meant to refresh and revive.

To me, lemongrass always brings back the stillness of early morning, hands wrapped around a mug of tea as the sun rises through dew-covered leaves in the herb garden. It’s a simple plant with a clear voice: wake up, breathe deep, and begin again.
