Grown & Gathered

My dear, sweet mother sent me a care package recently with a bunch of teas and some of my favourite salsa! This is one of the teas she included – I guess she bought it locally? It came in a glass jar with a hand written label, and I don’t know the company name at all…

It smells really nice for what is a three ingredient herbal blend. Taste wise, it’s thin but not bad. I guess I can’t judge it for being light/thin when like 80% of the blend is lemongrass. Aside from that light citrusy profile is the addition of another citrus, orange, and a hint of warming ginger. I like how refreshing it is, and brewed extra strong for extra long I could see this being a very pleasant tisane to drink as a sick tea.

But also – I’m not opposed to simplicity in general and something about this blend despite it’s light flavour just speaks to me. Clean and straight foward flavours.
