LEMON VERBENA

nTasting Notes: Lemon Verbena as an intense, fresh lemon aroma. The taste echoes the aroma but is less strong; it is more lemony than a lemon, but lacks the tartness. The aroma of dried leaves is retained for up to a year.

nCombines well with: apricots, lemons and limes, mint, coriander.
