The most citrusy in flavour of all herbal infusions, our organic lemon verbena is distinctively pungent, with grassy, herbal and refreshingly crisp lemon notes. Our whole leaf Great Taste award-winning whole leaf lemon verbena is naturally grown in the alpine areas of northern Naxos around Koronos village, approximately 700-800m above sea level and is handpicked and dried by the villagers using traditional methods. Compared to standard lemon verbena, our lemon verbena is greener and more crisp in flavour, due to purer growing conditions and the micro-climate of the Cycladi Islands - literally the greenest lemon verbena you'll ever come across.
