This is a huge milestone for us and something I am ridiculously excited to finally share: our very first herbal offering!
On our trip to Taiwan in Fall of 2025, we stumbled across these gorgeous dried lemon slices grown in southern Taiwan. Now, anyone who knows me knows I’m not much of an herbal drinker — I'm usually non-stop drinking caffeinated oolongs from dawn to dusk. But I figured I’d snag some to make hot lemon water over the winter back home to even out my days. Well... they were good. Dangerously good. In fact, by Day 2 of drinking them, I realized I had a serious problem: I was forcing myself to slow down so I wouldn't run out, and I knew right then that I needed a way to drink these every single day.
Fast forward 8 months through endless paperwork and logistics to import them to the US, and I’m thrilled to announce our exclusive partnership with the lovely Ina at Yimutian! Grown using natural farming practices, these lemon slices are exclusive to BANGtea.
How I brew it: Drop 1 lemon slice grandpa style into a large mug of hot water. I usually refill it with hot water 1–2 times throughout the day—the flavor stays clean, bright, and vibrant the entire time.
