Lemon Verbena

Take a trip to the fragrant lavender fields of the South of France and you're likely to be offered this tea to help soothe you to sleep, or as an after-dinner digestif. Crafted purely from large-cut leaves of the Lemon verbena plant, our take on the timeless herbal tea could hardly be simpler: softly fragrant and freshly zesty, it has all the balmy sweetness of a late summer evening.Lemon verbena was originally introduced to Europe in the 17th century, when it was brought back from South America by Spanish and Portuguese explorers and cultivated for its oil. The plant soon became a favourite in British greenhouses, presented in fragrant bouquets for the ladies of court. Click the banner to get it at ONLY: GBP6.00
