MALAWI & SRI LANKA
Lemongrass
Lemongrass from Sri Lanka as well as smallholder farmers in Malawi.
These are year-round, sustainable crops that are grown mostly by women on small plots of less than a hectare. These harvests provide essential income for their families and we are very proud to support them.
Satemwa
Lemon Verbena
To complement the unique Lemongrass flavour we have blended in some soft, smooth Malawian Lemon Verbena from Satemwa. This smooths the edges, softens the mouth feel and has the wonderful effect of both enlivening and soothing in the same delicious sip.
