Lemon Myrtle

Description

Lemon Myrtle tea is simply the best lemon herbal ever. Strong lemon flavor with a smooth and rounded flavor. Love a hint of lemon? add a pinch of lemon myrtle to your black tea before brewing. It is with no exaggeration when we say this is our favorite lemon tea.

A high percentage of citrol gives this tea a stronger lemon flavor than lemongrass. The lemon myrtle leaf has antiseptic and anti-viral properties. The tea can be calming and good to drink before going to bed. May also help with keeping things moving regularly. Who knew something so naturally good for you could taste this good!

Lemon myrtle, or Backhousia citriodora (so named by botanist James Backhouse in 1853), is endemic to Australia.  Myrtle flakes are commonly used to add zest to food such as pasta, scones, and fish.

This tea carries the Women in Tea symbol. The farm we source lemon myrtle from is owned by Wendy. She bought this farm in Australia in 2015. She worked day and night to turn a previously in-the-red farm into a profit-making investment. She implemented organic farming methods, trained her staff, and implemented an annual pay raise program. Lake Missoula Tea Company is proud to source a product of this quality from this farm.

Lake Missoula Tea Company commits to direct-sourcing teas and botanicals from sustainable farms. First we choose organic ingredients, and then we create our blends in small batches. In short, we love to drink this stuff, and we’re proud to share with you the tastiest, freshest tea possible. Store away from light and oxygen, and your teas will keep for a good long time.
