Organic Lemon Myrtle — Australian Citrus Herbal Tea

Organic Lemon Myrtle is Australia's most beloved native herbal tea — and for good reason. With a flavor that's more lemon than lemon itself (higher citral content than lemongrass or lemon verbena), this remarkable leaf delivers a clean, intense citrus experience that's caffeine-free and naturally refreshing.

What Makes Lemon Myrtle Special

Lemon myrtle (Backhousia citriodora) is an Australian native shrub prized by chefs and herbalists alike. Its leaves contain an exceptionally high concentration of citral — the compound responsible for that unmistakably bright, clean lemon scent and flavor. It's used as a food ingredient, a natural preservative, and of course, an outstanding herbal tea.

Brewing Organic Lemon Myrtle

Use just 1 tsp per 8 oz — the citral in lemon myrtle is intense and a little goes a long way. Steep in water at 200°F for 3–5 minutes. Add honey for sweetness. For iced lemon myrtle: brew double-strength, cool, pour over ice with fresh mint sprigs.
