Lemongrass from Ecuador
Amazonian Lemongrass
Lemongrass is one of many useful plants grown in Kichwa Indigenous chakras.
Since 2021, we have offered sustainably grown lemongrass tea from permaculture plots, thereby supporting hundreds of families in Ecuador’s Napo region.
Health properties
Effects of lemongrass
Fresh aroma, no caffeine
Pure lemongrass brings a clear citrus note to your cup without adding caffeine. Its fresh scent accompanies a light tea moment – on its own, after a meal or as an addition to your own herbal blends.
Aromatic plant compounds
Lemongrass’s characteristic lemon aroma comes from its essential oil components, including citral. Phenolic compounds in lemongrass are also being studied. This natural variety makes the plant interesting; in the tea, its distinctive fresh flavour takes centre stage.
Mix your own balance
Try lemongrass with ginger, hibiscus or orange. You can add Guayusa to make your own energy tea. The amount of Guayusa also determines how much caffeine your blend contains. Start with a small portion of lemongrass and find your preferred flavour.
Recipes and ideas
Preparation
- 1. Measure
Add 1–2 teaspoons of tea to the infuser for 400 ml of water.
- 2. Brew
Pour boiling water directly into the infuser.
- 3. Steep & enjoy
Steep for at least 5 minutes, then strain.
Lemongrass is simple to prepare. Just pour boiling water over it and leave to steep for at least 5 minutes. If you like, leave the lemongrass tea in the water; it won’t turn bitter and will continue to release plant compounds.
It also pairs very well with ginger tea, hibiscus tea or our GUYA PURE.

NOTE: The best-before date for this product is approaching: 10.26.

Zitronengras ist sehr gesund und da er direkt aus den Chakras (Waldgärten) der Kichwa kommt ganz klar ein Superfood. Ich werde noch etwas mit dem Geschmack experimentieren, das nächste Mal kaufe ich noch Hibiskus und mische das.
