Lemon Peel

Dried lemon peel opens with clean citrus zest — bright and sharply tart, with the fragrant oil of the rind coming through in the aroma before the taste. The finish carries a soft bitterness that keeps the citrus from turning sweet, and that structure is exactly why it works as a blending ingredient rather than a substitute for fruit flavouring.

This is the peel only, cut and sifted, with the white pith and fruit removed. Steeped alone it produces a pale gold cup, tart and astringent, best served without milk. Most often it works as a component: a few percent lifts black tea blends and cuts through malt and spice, while in herbal and rooibos blends it sharpens fruit notes that would otherwise sit flat. It pairs naturally with ginger, lemongrass, hibiscus, rose and mint.

Certified organic, caffeine free, with no added sulphites.

The origin of the lemon is a mystery, though it is thought that lemons first grew in Southern India, northern Burma, and China. A study of the genetic origin of the lemon reported that it is a hybrid between sour orange and citron.
