✨ Description

Bright, uplifting, and full of flavor, Lemon Peel brings sunshine to every blend.
The outer rind of the lemon — naturally rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and essential oils — delivers both zest and healing power.

Used in herbal medicine for centuries, dried Lemon Peel supports digestion, circulation, and immune defense, while its citrusy aroma promotes mental clarity and happiness.
It adds a gentle, tangy note that enhances the taste of any tea — especially when blending formulas for children or those who prefer a lighter flavor.

This cheerful herb is one of the best add-ons to our Blood Purifier and Cold Combo teas, balancing stronger herbs with its bright, clean taste and natural cleansing energy.
