Lemon Verbena Leaves After Steeping in album tea

In Albums: tea herbs

This photo shows lemon verbena leaves after they have been repeatedly steeped for herbal tea. I made a total of seven infusions, adding up to about 8-10 minutes of total steeping, before making this photograph.

I steeped the lemon verbena in a gaiwan, a Chinese lidded bowl usually used for brewing tea, which is pictured in an earlier photograph, and wrote about the experience in a blog post, Lemon Verbena: Multiple Infusions in a Gaiwan.
