Organic Lemon Myrtle Tea

Lemon myrtle leaves are a native Australian botanical known for their exceptionally high natural citral content, giving them a clean, vibrant lemon aroma that is often described as more intense than lemon itself. From the leaves of the Backhousia Citriodora plant, they have a long history of use within Indigenous Australian knowledge systems, both in traditional practices and as a flavouring for food. With a bright, citrus-forward profile and no acidity, lemon myrtle offers a distinctive alternative to conventional citrus, suited to both herbal infusions and culinary use.
