Clean, citrus bright, and quietly uplifting, Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) carries the feeling of early light on a new day. Its fresh, airy notes bring a sense of openness to the cup, evoking the clarity and gentle momentum that many associate with morning ritual. With each touch, its leaves release a bright fragrance that feels both lively and grounding, a natural companion to the first movements of the day.

At Purely, Lemongrass shines across the Morning Ritual Collection, appearing in Sunrise Clarity™ within the Jammy Berry Lane and Radiant Awakening™ in the Tropical Gold Lane. It links fruit and spice with a clear, citrus lifted thread, creating blends that feel crisp, balanced, and full of quiet brightness.

Lemongrass has a long history in Ayurvedic and Southeast Asian traditions, where it has been cherished for its bright flavor, fragrant oils, and place in everyday cooking and ritual. In many folk cultures, it appeared in teas, broths, and household preparations that carried meanings of warmth, renewal, and protection within the rhythms of daily life.

A tall perennial grass with slender leaves and aromatic stalks, Lemongrass thrives in tropical climates where sunlight deepens its citrus fragrance. At Purely, we honor this heritage in our Morning Ritual teas, where Lemongrass adds a clear, vibrant lift that complements the day’s first quiet moments.
