Lemon, a beloved ingredient of natural herbal teas

What are the benefits of lemon in infusions?

Les 2 Marmottes infusions with lemon peel will give you a boost to help you face the winter! 

Just the thought of biting into one makes you grit your teeth!

Sunny yellow lemons remind us of the warmth of the Med... this fruit belongs to the citrus family and is grown on a lemon tree, which is a thorny evergreen shrub.

Native to India and China, the lemon tree was once used as an ornamental plant in gardens. The lemon was later used in food and in seasonings.

Today, it's grown all over the world and its use has multiplied. For our infusions, we love the peel.

What kind of lemon peel is used in Les 2 Marmottes infusions?

Our brewmasters head to Senegal to find it, and the variety used is called the Citrus Limon. This medium-sized tree flowers several times a year. 

When lemons are harvested, absolutely nothing goes to waste. Once collected, it is then pressed. The peel is then collected, dried, and ground. Once it arrives at our workshop, it is worked and mixed with other plants.

The lemony taste, acidity, and intensity are distinctive in each of our recipes, with absolutely no added flavourings.

    Mint is a perennial aromatic plant. A little shade and moist soil are enough for it to make itself at home, so much so that it sometimes gets out of control! Mint has been used for centuries for its many virtues.  Shop our Mint teas
