Lemon grass is widely used as a herb in Asian (particularly Vietnamese, Hmong, Khmer, Thai, Lao, Malaysian, Indonesian, Philippine, Sri Lankan) and Caribbean cooking. It has a citrus flavour and can be dried and powdered, or used fresh. The stalk itself is too hard to be eaten except for the soft inner part. However, it can be finely sliced and added to recipes. It may also be bruised and added whole as this releases the aromatic oils from the juice sacs in the stalk. Lemon grass is commonly used in teas, soups, and curries. It is also suitable for poultry, fish, and seafood.

Vanessa's review: "This tea was a winner at the 2008 World Tea Expo, and its really not hard to understand why. In a word, this tea is delicious. The lemon chiffon flavor is just about as true as you can get without actually eating lemon chiffon." Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "This is a creative and distinct blend with much to offer. While the usual cast of characters provide the underlying spiciness that is expected of any self-respecting chai, the coconut and lemongrass add layer and depth to this tea. " Read review » |

Lynn's review: "The website listing refers to Provence as “aromatherapy in a glass” and it's a good comparison. It has a clean, crisp fragrance akin to good potpourri, which this mix really sort of is. You could tuck little pillows of it into your dresser drawers with good effect. " Read review » |

Laura's review: "It's almost like you had been eating lemon pie and someone set a piece of apple cinnamon pie in front of you and you didn't use a clean fork. However, the result is one of those unusual combinations that you kind of like and maybe even want to try to reconstruct." Read review » |

Geoff's review: "The tea itself turned a dark hazel, the smell of ginger and lemon highlighted. As for taste, it was like imbibing hot lemonade with a licorice stick in it. Ginger was faint, but still part of the main body. All in all, fairly decent." Read review » |
