Lemon Verbena is a beautiful herb not as recognized as peppermint or spearmint but with similar qualities but very different taste. The aroma is slightly minty, but the taste is lemony, subtly citrusy, bright and slightly sweet. The taste is not overpowering or offensive, it’s like water with a squeeze of lemon. Refreshing, thirst quenching and healthy. Lemon Verbena has inspired writers to poetry and prose in an effort to describe its essence, which is both crisp and relaxing at the same time. Lemon verbena is commonly used in aromatherapy, perfumery, soaps and cosmetics. It is also used in baking as a flavoring, in jelly making, preserving and in tea blends. It is excellent for flavoring summer drinks and delicious by itself too!

According to legend, the very first dragon appeared to the mythical emperor Fu-Shi in order to right several wrongs that had occurred at the hands of the monster Kung Kung. He was said to have rent a huge hole in the sky, and was a terrible presence who had to be stopped. Luckily the dragon filled in the hole and set the tone for how the world would function for the rest of time. The rhythms by which it lived its life – sleeping, waking, breathing, eating, flying – resulted in the creation of day and night, seasons and weather, and all the familiar patterns we recognize today.
