Air-dried quarter-cut lemon pieces bring a lively, vibrant citrus character to any high-street café or hotel lounge menu. They serve as a reliable, versatile botanical staple that adds eye-catching texture and clean brightness to any loose tea offering.
Sourced from prime, high-altitude orchards in Yunnan Province, China, these 1st-grade slivers are carefully sun and air-dried to preserve their natural essential oils. They steep into a pale yellow infusion with a crisp, tangy lemon taste that drinks beautifully on its own or seamlessly enhances bespoke herbal blends.
Naturally caffeine-free, this refreshing botanical accommodates all-day service across hot and cold drink prep. Enjoy as a soothing, piping hot lemon infusion or brew double-strength over ice with fresh mint for a thirst-quenching summer cooler.

  Serving Guide

  • Tea Menu: Popular standalone herbal feature and high-value blending component for custom loose tea lines.
  • Per Serving: 1 slightly heaping teaspoon (approx. 1.2g to 2.5g per 200–260ml)
  • Water: Use freshly drawn boiling water (100°C) to maximise full extraction of natural citrus bioactives and citrus essential oils.
  • Brewing Time: Steep for 6–8 minutes; extended steeping times simply intensify the natural lemon zing without creating bitterness.
  • To Serve: Enjoy hot straight, or sweeten with honey; pour over ice at double-strength with fresh mint for a refreshing summer iced drink.

  Health Benefits

  • Cardiovascular & Lipid Support: Controlled human clinical trials indicate that daily intake of citrus fruit bioactives and limonoids helps improve serum lipid parameters, reduce oxidized LDL, and support healthy vascular function.[1]
  • Dermatological & Skin Health: High concentrations of dietary vitamin C and organic citrus acids act as vital cofactors in collagen biosynthesis, protecting skin cells from oxidative photoageing in human studies.[2]
  • Antioxidant Cellular Protection: Natural citrus flavonoids such as hesperidin and naringenin act as strong free-radical scavengers, helping reduce systemic oxidative stress markers in human intervention trials.[3]
