Bigelow
I Love Lemon Herbal Tea - 1.28 oz
Bigelow has bought its lemons from the same California growing families since 1947 — the year those groves were first planted, and the same year Bigelow started blending tea. That's not a one-season contract; it's a 75-plus-year relationship with the farmers who harvest the citrus that goes into every bag.
- Steeps into a caffeine-free cup built for lemon lovers, sharpened with rose hips, hibiscus, and lemon verbena rather than lemon flavoring alone.
- Each bag is sealed in its own foil pouch, keeping the lemongrass and lemon peel oils intact until the moment you pour hot water over it.
- Kosher-certified and gluten-free, made from herbs and botanicals with no black or green tea leaf, so there's no caffeine to think about.
Bigelow's I Love Lemon herbal tea, a fruit and herbal tea blend, is built around California lemons from growers the company has worked with since 1947 - the same year Bigelow began blending tea, and the same groves those farming families started that year.
Each box holds 20 tea bags, individually wrapped in foil pouches (net weight 1.28 oz / 36g) to keep air and moisture away from the blend until you're ready to brew. The recipe combines rose hips, lemongrass, lemon peel, lemon verbena, peppermint leaves, and hibiscus with ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) and citric acid for tartness - no black or green tea leaf, so it's caffeine-free by composition.
One serving delivers 100% of the daily value of Vitamin C from the added ascorbic acid, plus whatever naturally occurs in the rose hips and hibiscus.
Brew it hot for a bright morning cup, or steep two bags and pour over ice for a citrus iced tea that doesn't need added sweetener to taste like something.
Gluten-free and kosher-certified, this caffeine-free herbal tea fits any time of day. Store the box in a dry pantry away from direct heat; the foil pouches keep each bag's aroma sealed until you open it.
Ingredients: Rose Hips, Lemongrass, Natural Lemon Flavor (Soy Lecithin), Lemon Peel, Lemon Verbena, Peppermint Leaves, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Hibiscus, and Citric Acid.
Common Questions
How does this compare nutritionally to a standard sweetened iced tea or lemonade?
One tea bag brewed plain has no calories, no sugar, and no caffeine, since the blend contains no black or green tea leaf. A typical 12-ounce sweetened lemon iced tea or lemonade runs 100 to 160 calories and 25 to 40 grams of added sugar. The tartness here comes from citric acid and ascorbic acid rather than sugar, so you get a full citrus flavor profile without the carbohydrate load. If you want sweetness, you're adding it yourself and controlling the amount, rather than drinking whatever was pre-mixed.
What does the ascorbic acid actually do in this tea, and how much Vitamin C am I getting?
Ascorbic acid is the chemical name for Vitamin C, and it's added here both for tartness and nutrition. One serving delivers 100% of the daily value of Vitamin C from that added ascorbic acid alone, before counting whatever naturally occurs in the rose hips and hibiscus, both of which are recognized food sources of Vitamin C and polyphenol antioxidants. Vitamin C functions as a water-soluble antioxidant and is a required cofactor for collagen synthesis enzymes in the body. Because it's water-soluble, any amount your body doesn't use gets excreted rather than stored, so there's no toxicity concern from a daily cup.
Does this fit a keto, paleo, or low-carb eating plan?
Yes, on both macro and ingredient grounds. Brewed plain, the tea has effectively zero calories and zero net carbs, since the flavor comes from citric acid, ascorbic acid, and steeped plant material rather than sugar or starch. There's no dairy, grain, or added sweetener in the ingredient list, which also makes it compatible with most paleo and carnivore-adjacent hydration protocols that allow herbal infusions. The caffeine-free composition means it won't count against caffeine limits some low-carb or paleo plans set for the day.
Can I use this tea in recipes instead of just drinking it hot or iced?
Steeped strong and cooled, it works as a citrus-forward liquid base for marinades on chicken or fish, since the lemon peel, lemongrass, and citric acid provide acidity similar to what a lemon-based marinade needs. It also works reduced down on the stove into a light syrup base for glazes, or mixed into sparkling water for a homemade citrus soda without added sugar. For baking, a strong-brewed batch can replace some of the liquid in a lemon cake or scone recipe to reinforce the citrus flavor. No adjustment to cooking time or temperature is needed since it's a water-based infusion, not a concentrated extract.
What do the certifications on this box actually verify?
The Certified B Corporation mark means the company has met a third-party standard covering social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency, verified by B Lab and re-assessed periodically. Kosher certification means the product and its production process have been reviewed by a certifying rabbinical authority against kosher dietary law. Renewable Energy certification relates to the electricity sourcing used in company operations rather than to any ingredient in the box. Gluten-Free is supported by the ingredient list itself: rose hips, lemongrass, lemon peel, lemon verbena, peppermint, hibiscus, ascorbic acid, and citric acid contain no wheat, barley, or rye derivatives.
What's the story behind the lemons used in this blend, and why does that matter?
The lemon flavor in this blend traces back to California growers that Bigelow has worked with since 1947, the same year the company started blending tea. That's a 75-plus-year sourcing relationship with the same farming families and groves, rather than a flavor sourced anew from whichever supplier offers the best price that season. A long-standing grower relationship generally means more consistency in flavor and quality year over year, since both sides have decades of shared expectations about what the lemon peel and flavor extract should taste like.
