This tea has an energising, fruity flavour, with a refreshing character. Notes of sweetness bring out a full and aromatic flavour. This tea's unique characteristics come as a result of the plant's special cultivation conditions in Egypt by a desert oasis supplied with water from a branch of the Nile. The invigorating flavour of the tea is reminiscent of the hot and dry climate of its origin.
Herbal teas have been one of the most important applications of traditional herbalism for hundreds of years. Hot water helps release the valuable ingredients so that they can be easily absorbed by the body. Each herb represents a unique complex of active ingredients, sometimes combining hundreds of individual compounds. We select only the highest quality herbs from the best terroirs around the world, either from certified organic cultivation or wildcrafting. Our farms are often small, passionate family-run businesses with a long history of cultivating and processing the highest quality herbs and wild plants.
Our comprehensive portfolio focuses on organic, single-origin teas sourced directly from renowned farms. We believe in creating partnerships with farmers who share our values and are committed to sustainable, responsible tea cultivation. Thanks to these strong relationships our exciting range is constantly growing and evolving. As an international team of dedicated and passionate tea experts, we are committed to preserving centuries-old tea culture while ensuring it remains relevant and continues to bring joy in the present. About Yoshi En.
The tea farm is located by an isolated, small oasis in the Egyptian desert that is supplied with water by a branch of the Nile. The lemongrass grows under ideal conditions in a bracing climate, which allows it to develop an intense aroma.
1-2 heaped tsp tea per 200-300ml boiling water. Steep for 3-5 minutes.
High quality, airtight, resealable standing zipper pouch to preserve flavour and protect against oxidation and contamination. BPA-free.
The ideal teapot for camomile tea is a large glass or porcelain teapot with a strainer.
Ideally store in an airtight, double-coated metal tin.
We find it very important that our teas are pure and produced in a way that respects the environment. For this reason, each one of our teas is tested for pesticide residues by an independent laboratory, the results of which can be found here. Some of our teas are also tested for specific nutritional compounds, in which case the test results are also published here.
