"Table 5: A beautiful looking dry leaf, so very well presented, undamaged and perfect in every way. Once steeping the leaves almost come back to life and become a vibrant green. A great colour once poured too. The poured aroma is crisp, clean and shouting verbena, it's like summer in a cup; we love the instant sharp start followed by the mellow leaf finish ; the citrus bursts come in under the herbal notes and balance very well on the finish.

Table 1: This tastes like you would want to be able to make with your own lemon verbena from the garden. It would be lovely in the summer as well. How could you better this? It is pure and honest and has been done with care."It is known, that Lemon Verbena was brought to Europe by the Spanish from Argentina and Chile in the late 17th century. In Greece it found a very suitable climate where it flourished and became very wide spread.
