Indie Teas

Today I tried out an Organic Lemongrass herbal tea from Teatulia. This particular tea is bagged in the triangular shaped bags that have become fairly common. I am not really a fan of bagged tea so we will see how it is. This tea was grown in Bangladesh which exports a decent amount of tea but they aren't one of the big boys. This company is very ecofriendly and have created an interesting way of growing tea. They grown the tea on virgin soil using natural farming methods inspired by Japanese Master Masanobu Fukuoka. All of their teas are grown and sold straight from their gardens which ensures fresh tea and no middle men which I like a lot.Image provided by Teatulia

The Nose and Color: This tea is a very simple herbal tea. It's pure lemongrass. That's it. It makes for a nice change of pace and results in a very defined and bold aroma. None of the leaves were broken and they were clearly well handled. The leaves look like a green kukicha which I'm not really a fan of but I bet the similarities will end there.

Tasting: This tea is smooth and subtle. The flavor is all lemongrass which leaves your breath smelling great and it goes down easy from start to finish. 

Food Pairing: This tea is very simple so I wouldn't pair it with anything. Instead, because it's an herbal tea I would drink it at night before bed since it's caffeine free.

Price: $13.00 for 2.0 oz

Summary: 90 out of 100. This tea is a very simple herbal tea consisting of pure lemongrass. The nose, color, and taste are all pleasant and it's caffeine free so it's perfect before bed. You can find it in loose leaf form which I recommend although I was pleasantly surprised by the bags. There wasn't much complexity to it which isn't a bad thing but I usually prefer the challenge of finding out what the different kinds of flavors are.
