Lemon Grass, Coarse Cut

Upon first opening this package, I noticed that dried grass blades smelled very sweet and fresh.  I've been on the hunt for a strong lemon grass brew for years now, since growing the plant in New England is much harder than when I lived in South Florida.  My mother really enjoyed this brew as a Christmas present, since it reminded her of freshly brewed tea using the live plant.  I was very impressed with the natural honey notes in this herbal blend. Upton Tea describes this infusion well, "This Golden-yellow liquor with brisk lemon flavor and aroma. A caffeine-free beverage."

Egyptian Chamomile

I was impressed by the flower quality and strength of the cup. Not the typical chamomile dust you find in teabags!  Upton describes this blend as, "Whole dried flowers, with a high concentration of flavor oils. Yields a rich, deep-yellow cup. A caffeine-free beverage."  Take this at bedtime for a calm, restful sleep.

Brushed Steel Tin

I'm kind of a neat freak when it comes to storing and organizing my teas. These tins are the perfect solution for the serious tea drinker.  However I will note that the lids dent easily, so don't drop  them!  "This brushed steel tin weighs approximately 110 grams and has a capacity of approximately 150 grams, but may hold more or less depending on the leaf size of the tea. The tin measures 4 ¼" tall and the lid measures ¾" tall. The diameter is 3 ¼". Made in China. Also available as case of 6 or master carton of 72."
