The origins of our Lemongrass & Ginger herbal blend teabags

Zesty lemongrass, warming ginger and aromatic liquorice root: there's so much going on in this soothing yet supremely zesty tea! Invigorating and uplifting, our Great Taste Awards-winning Lemongrass & Ginger blend taps into the ancient tradition of making tisanes, combining lemongrass tea with ginger tea, ingredients that have been used for centuries in a wide variety of healthy teas.

Citrus notes dominate this luxury loose-leaf herbal tea, thanks to the inclusion of lemongrass and lemon peel, with sliced ginger pieces and a touch of black pepper adding a spicy note. Mixed with soothing peppermint and liquorice for subtle natural sweetness, you get a naturally caffeine-free tea that's perfect for any season or time of day, and equally delicious served hot or cold.

Regardless of when you drink it, the best way to enjoy the pastel-coloured greens, yellows and oranges of this pretty herbal blend is by brewing them in a beautiful teapot and pouring into a pitcher or one of our double-walled cups made of robust borosilicate glass.

The health benefits of Lemongrass & Ginger tea

High in antioxidants and with powerful pro-digestion properties, our Lemongrass & Ginger herbal blend is a wellness tea that will see you through whatever the year has to throw at you. The added benefit of drinking Ginger root has been shown to help fight viruses and help ease the symptoms of coughs and colds, making it a staple of flu season, while liquorice root has been found to support the health of the upper respiratory tract.

Lemongrass, ginger and peppermint are all associated with helping to ease digestive issues – ginger is often used as a panacea for nausea and morning sickness, in particular, while studies of lemongrass have shown it to be beneficial in protecting the stomach lining and, as a natural diuretic, to prevent bloating. In addition, the citral in lemongrass has been shown to have antimicrobial and antibacterial properties, while ginger's anti-inflammatory qualities have been studied for their efficacy against osteoarthritis.
