In 1908, Mr Meyer, sent by the U.S. to find new plant varieties unknown to the Western world, imported the first Meyer Lemon tree from China. The tree is believed to be a hybrid between citrus lemon, the lemon and citrus reticulate, the mandarin orange. To achieve true flavor, we use only fresh California Meyer Lemon juice and peel grown for us. Simply add to iced tea, lemonade, sparkling water or cocktails. Use over yogurt or fruit, or mix into BBQ sauces, vinaigrettes, marinades and glazes. Ingredients: Pure cane sugar, filtered water, Meyer Lemon peel and juice, natural lemon extract, vitamin C (ascorbic acid), citric acid, vanilla extract, sea salt.
