Cucumber

Cucumber is the crisp, green fruit of a vine first grown in South Asia and now enjoyed in gardens and kitchens around the world. Dried cucumber pieces give tea a cool, clean, garden-fresh flavor with a subtle green aroma, much like a slice dropped into a glass of water. It works beautifully with green tea, white tea and fruit blends, especially alongside mint, melon, lime and aloe. Cucumber blends are at their best iced on a hot summer afternoon.
