Red Rooibos and Lemon Grass

I have seen similar attempts from other tea companies, but sometimes you just can't mess with the goodness of simplicity.  Lemon Grass has been a long-time favorite of mine since childhood.  Tangy, yet smooth in nature, it boosts the natural sweetness of the red bush tea.  A simple and excellent blend to try.  Add honey if desired and brew using typical herbal blend temperature.
  • 1/2 tsp Rooibos Superior Grade Organic (SpecialTeas #950)
  • 1/2 tsp Lemon Grass, Course Cut (Upton Teas #BH65)
Steeping Suggestions
Leaf Quantity: 1 tsp of mix/ 8 oz. cup
