Companhia Portugueza do Chá Ginger and Lemongrass Tisane

Companhia Portugueza do Chá Ginger and Lemongrass Tisane is a Portuguese herbal tisane from Lisbon, created by Companhia Portugueza do Chá, the city's tea house on Rua do Poço dos Negros. A warming, zesty cup for the evening or for a cold, rainy Lisbon day.

Tasting notes

Ginger gives a gentle, spicy warmth, and lemongrass, erva-príncipe in Portuguese, adds a fresh lemon scent. The cup is clean and lively, lovely hot with a spoon of honey or chilled over ice.

Food pairing

Serve it after a hearty meal, with a slice of ginger or lemon cake, or with fresh fruit.

About Companhia Portugueza do Chá

Companhia Portugueza do Chá is a Lisbon tea house on Rua do Poço dos Negros, founded by tea sommelier Sebastian Filgueiros. Its blends tell the story of Portugal and tea: Portuguese ships brought tea from the East, and Catherine of Braganza made it fashionable at the English court after marrying Charles II in 1662. Her profile is on the company's logo.
