The monsoon rain outside your window is the perfect excuse to talk about lemongrass tea vitamins — because this humble, citrusy grass has more going on than most people realise. Beyond its refreshing aroma, lemongrass leaves contain Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Folic Acid and Magnesium, though what you notice in your daily chai during Ahmedabad’s damp, grey August days is its bright citrus lift.

At Fresh n Flavour, lemongrass isn’t an afterthought — it’s a core botanical in several of our handcrafted blends, hand-blended in small batches in Ahmedabad using real Assam and Darjeeling teas. Understanding what lemongrass brings to your cup helps you choose a chai that suits your taste.
Try Freshful Chai if you want a blend where lemongrass genuinely leads the flavour — it’s built on Assam CTC and Dooars CTC with lemongrass and green cardamom for a fresh, aromatic cup perfect for rainy afternoons.
What Are the Lemongrass Tea Vitamins Everyone Talks About?
Lemongrass tea vitamins primarily include Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Folic Acid, and trace Vitamin B6, alongside minerals like Magnesium, Potassium, and Manganese. These occur in the grass’s leaf, while its essential oils carry the light, fragrant citrus aroma you notice in the cup.
Vitamin C and Vitamin A in Lemongrass
Vitamin C and Vitamin A are among the nutrients found in Lemongrass. In a monsoon cup, though, it is the herb’s bright citrus aroma that most people notice first, and it pairs beautifully with strong milk tea on a rainy day.
Folic Acid and B-Complex Traces
Folic Acid, a B-vitamin, appears in modest amounts in lemongrass leaves, though a cup of chai should never be treated as a substitute for dietary folate from vegetables and pulses.
According to the Wikipedia entry on lemongrass, the plant is widely used across South and Southeast Asia both as a culinary herb and in traditional herbal infusions, reflecting centuries of cross-cultural appreciation for its aroma.

Lemongrass matters in monsoon chai because its natural citral compounds give it a clean, lemony aroma — exactly what continuous rain and humid, grey days call for. A warm cup feels comforting and cosy during Ahmedabad’s wettest weeks.
As the skies stay overcast through Raksha Bandhan and Independence Day preparations this August, households naturally reach for chai that feels a little more special. Lemongrass chai fits that mood — light enough for an afternoon sip, yet aromatic enough to feel like a small treat.
Lemongrass Chai During the Rainy Season
Monsoon months often bring heavier, fried festival snacks. Lemongrass adds a light citrus lift to an after-meal cup, and it works well alongside Cardamom, whose sweet aroma has been a favourite in Indian chai after meals for generations.
A Naturally Refreshing Alternative to Heavy Spices
Not every rainy day calls for a heavily spiced kadak chai. Lemongrass offers a lighter, citrus-forward profile — refreshing rather than warming — which is why Fresh n Flavour built entire blends around it instead of treating it as a garnish.
Historical spice-blending traditions recorded in The Indian Cookery Book (1880) describe how 19th-century households carefully combined aromatic botanicals for both flavour and aroma — a principle that still guides how Fresh n Flavour designs its lemongrass-forward chai today.
How Does Lemongrass Compare Across Fresh n Flavour Blends?
The lemongrass character of each cup varies depending on how much lemongrass is used and what it’s blended with. Fresh n Flavour uses lemongrass prominently in three blends — Delightful, Flavourful, and Freshful — each pairing it with different teas and botanicals for a distinct flavour profile.
| Blend | Base Tea | Lemongrass Role | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delightful Chai | Assam + Darjeeling Second Flush | Balances mint and nutmeg with a citrus note | Everyday smooth cup |
| Flavourful Chai | Assam + Dooars CTC | Bold citrus note with spearmint | Bold flavour lovers |
| Freshful Chai | Assam + Dooars CTC (Mamri Dana) | Lemongrass is the lead note with cardamom | Lemongrass-forward monsoon sipping |
| Plain Black Tea | Assam CTC only | None | Traditional strong chai without botanicals |
Why Freshful Chai Uses Mamri Dana Cut
Freshful Chai’s Mamri Dana leaf cut is a rounder, slightly coarser CTC granule that releases lemongrass oils more gradually during brewing. This means the lemongrass aroma stays balanced across a 3-4 minute steep, rather than peaking too fast.
This is genuinely something only Fresh n Flavour can tell you, since we source and cut this specific blend ourselves — standard supermarket CTC does not use the Mamri Dana grade.
Why Lemongrass Pairs With Cardamom, Mint and Nutmeg
Lemongrass, cardamom and mint buffer the acidity of the tea, and nutmeg adds a warm, rounded note, especially welcome when milk tea is brewed strong. This combination is exactly why Delightful and Flavourful are formulated as acidity-free everyday blends rather than harsh, tannin-heavy cups.

Beyond vitamins, lemongrass leaves also contain small amounts of Magnesium, Potassium, and Manganese — though what you notice in the cup is its bright, citrusy aroma.
Magnesium in the Leaf
Magnesium is one of the minerals found in lemongrass, but the real draw of an evening cup of lemongrass chai is the cosy ritual itself — especially on a rainy Sunday when you’re staying indoors with family before Janmashtami celebrations.
Potassium and Manganese
Neither Potassium nor Manganese is present in dramatic quantities in a single cup — lemongrass chai is a drink to enjoy for its taste and aroma, not a nutrition source.
Botanical records in Sir J.D. Hooker’s The Flora of British India (1872-1897) documented Camellia sinensis and companion aromatic grasses across the subcontinent, laying early groundwork for understanding how tea and herbs like lemongrass came to be paired in Indian households.
- Vitamin A — one of the nutrients found in lemongrass
- Vitamin C — also found naturally in lemongrass
- Folic Acid — present in modest amounts
- Magnesium — a mineral found in lemongrass
- Potassium — present in trace amounts
These lemongrass tea vitamins and minerals are present in small amounts — chai should complement a varied, balanced diet, not replace it.
Which Lemongrass Chai Should You Pick?
If lemongrass is your main reason for choosing chai, Freshful Chai is the most direct option since lemongrass leads the flavour alongside cardamom. If you also want the fresh note of mint and the warmth of nutmeg, Delightful Chai is the better everyday pick.
If you prefer a bolder, more robust cup with lemongrass still present but less dominant, Flavourful Chai with its Dooars CTC base delivers more strength per cup. None of these three are ideal if you specifically want a lemongrass-free, classic strong chai — for that, Fresh n Flavour’s Strong & Tasteful Chai is the right call instead.
Whichever you choose, start with a 250g pack if you’re new to lemongrass chai, or go with the 500g Freshful pack if you already know this is your daily cup. Enjoy Goodness in Every Sip — that’s the promise behind every Fresh n Flavour blend.
