Selezioniamo solo la migliore Verveine, conosciuta anche come Lemon Verbena. Le grandi foglie verdi producono un corpo insolitamente buono per un infuso alle erbe, con un meraviglioso colore giallo limone e un aroma delizioso. Si prega di utilizzare da 4 a 5 foglie per 8 once d'acqua.
The liquor is a gorgeous pale gold and the aroma fills the kitchen the moment the hot water hits the leaves. I was genuinely surprised by how much body it has—it drinks almost like a light green tea, not a wispy herbal at all. Four leaves give a full, satisfying cup that keeps its lemony brightness
I was skeptical about an herbal tea having much body, but this one genuinely surprised me—the brew turns a beautiful lemon yellow and has a real presence on the palate, not just hot water with a scent. Steeped four leaves for five minutes and it was perfectly aromatic without going bitter.
The leaves are impressively big and sturdy, and the brew really does turn that lovely lemon-yellow color. Body is surprisingly full for an herbal tea, though I wish the aroma lingered a bit more in the cup.
