. Lemongrass is so basic to Thai cooking, one of the world's great cuisnes, that many Thai restaurants call themselves 'Lemongrass.' Lemongrass is also known as fevergrass.

It has been used for centuries to treat fever in India.

It has traditionally been used to cure skin complaints and was burnt to kill germs.

Its main constituent, citral, was discovered to be a strong, cleansing antiseptic, and used to deodorize clothing and footwear.

Dried leaves were burned to keep the mind alert.

The leaves are used to make an aromatic, antiseptic bath.

Lemongrass makes a soothing aromatherapy experience by placing a mesh bag with a handful of leaves under the running bath water, then letting the bag soak in the water with you as you bathe.

Very relaxing – and the lemongrass oil is very good for dry skin.

It is used in low-cost citrus soaps, perfumes and cleaning agents.

Through its anti-bacterial action, it is good for skin complaints, sore throats and respiratory problems.

Also effective against headaches.

The oil will also repel insects.

A limited study done at the University of Wisconsin revealed that some people taking prepared Lemongrass capsules (140 mg) daily for three months experienced a significant reduction in cholesterol levels, and that their cholesterol levels returned to their previous highs when they stopped taking the preparation.

Obviously, this indicates that Lemongrass may help reduce cholesterol in certain individuals.

White tea (camellia senensis) undergoes very little processing and the absence of this purity may be what might cause white tea to have a greater concentration of cancer fighting antioxidants than all other teas.

White teas have all of the benefits of green tea and are the most delicate of all, their taste being subtle, complex and mildly sweet.

Uncle Lee's Organic Lemongrass Jasmine White Tea is cooling and calming. Lemongrass is well noted by herbal professionals as a cooling herb and is known to reduce fevers, cleanse as well as enhance immunity.

Jasmine is also cooling and is known to calm the nerves and adds a wonderful aroma to the blend.

Both herbs are the perfect compliment to the yin energy of white tea.

Because there is very little processing with white tea, the caffeine content is low at approximately 15 to 20 mg per cup.

Green tea contains 20 to 30 mg. per cup, black tea contains 80 to 120 mg. per cup and coffee contains 100 to 200 mg. per cup.

Air-tight foil wrapped tea bags for highest quality of freshness. Individually wrapped and Kosher certified.
