About Hambleden:
Hambleden Herbs is a long established organic brand with a reputation for high quality products and efficient, friendly service. Their products have won many awards over the years, a recognition of the quality of the Soil Association certified organic herbs, spices, teas and tinctures which have always been their speciality.

Life for Hambleden Herbs began back in 1982 on an organic herb farm in the small village of Hambleden in the Oxford shire countryside. In 1985 our dried herb range was launched and at the time was the only certified organic range of dried herbs in the UK. With the launch of our organic herbal tea range 4 years later, Hambleden Herbs was fast becoming the brand of choice for the informed consumer.

As interest in organic ingredients increased demand soon outstripped available supply from the farm and the business had to look further a field to secure supply of top quality, certified, organic ingredients. This resulted in a new focus for the business, and a new company being set up to specialise in the sourcing and importing of raw materials. Although the two businesses now operate separately, they continue to use some of the same suppliers that they did 20 years ago, and still call on the wealth of expertise and knowledge of their old partner.

Today Hambleden Herbs continues to hold true to its values of “Purity, Vitality and Integrity”, using them to inspire new blends of teas, herbs and spices that will excite and awaken your senses.

Usage

In Thailand, finely ground lemon grass is added to curry pastes which are then used to create fragrant poultry, fish and seafood curries. Lemon grass, ginger and chillies are key ingredients of hot Cambodian and Laosian stir fries, whereas in Vietnam lemon grass adds its aromatics to their more lightly spiced dishes.

A popular Vietnamese meal is a healthy do-it-yourself spring roll where thin slices of beef are quickly cooked in a lemon grass infused stock. At the table (this is where you will need to dust off the old fondue set!), boil the thin slices of beef for a few seconds in a vinegar-flavoured broth containing ample lemon grass. Lay the cooked beef onto wetted rice paper, top with fresh vegetables and herbs, usually coriander and mint, roll up and then dip into spicy sauces.

The favourite sauces tend to be based on fish sauce, lime juice, peanuts and chillies. With some good friends this is a wonderfully social and low key dinner that will certainly get people talking! If you are not feeling quite so adventurous then simply add lemon grass to any lightly flavoured dish to give an authentic taste to all Southeast Asian cooking.
