Lemon Balm Loose Tea - Certified Organic

Hand-Selected by Qualified Herbal Naturopath | 100% Certified Organic | Fast Australia-Wide Shipping

A beloved member of the mint family (Lamiaceae) native to Southern Europe and the Mediterranean, Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) takes its genus name from the Greek word for "honeybee," who adore its small, nectar-rich flowers. Revered since antiquity by Arabian physicians and medieval herbalists like Paracelsus—who hailed it as the "Elixir of Life"—Lemon Balm was traditionally used to revive gladdened spirits and banish melancholy. Rich in active rosmarinic acid, caffeic acid, volatile terpene aldehydes (citral and citronellal), and flavonoids, Lemon Balm acts in modern clinical naturopathy and Western herbalism as a premier relaxing nervine, mild antispasmodic, and carminative—calming an overactive mind, settling nervous stomach butterflies, and supporting balanced thyroid metabolism.

TASTE & ENERGETICS

• Taste: Bright, citrusy, sweet, mildly grassy, refreshing
• Energetics: Cooling, gladdening, dry, mildly relaxing

TRADITIONALLY USED FOR:

• Nervous Tension & Emotional Harmony: Soothing anxious thoughts, daily irritability, mild agitation, and lifting a heavy or melancholic mood.
• Settling Nervous Digestion: Relieving stress-induced stomach cramps, post-meal bloating, wind, and "butterflies" in the gut.
• Cognitive Clarity & Calm Focus: Supporting sharp memory recall and calm concentration without causing heavy drowsiness.
• Restful Sleep Onset: Relaxing a restless nervous system to facilitate a smooth, quiet transition into sleep.

BREWING & PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Infusion (Uplifting & Soothing Tea): Add 1–2 teaspoons of dried Lemon Balm to 1 cup of freshly boiled water. Cover tightly with a lid or saucer immediately (critical to prevent its delicate, citrusy essential oils from escaping) and steep for 8–10 minutes. Strain and sip warm, or chill for a bright iced herbal drink.
• Daily Mind Brew: Combine with green tea or mint for a refreshing morning infusion that encourages focused calm throughout the workday.

Pack Sizes & Servings:

• 15g Bag: Approx. 5 to 7 cups (Perfect for sampling)
• 25g Bag: Approx. 10 to 12 cups (Ideal for a 1-week daily routine)
• 50g Bag: Approx. 20 to 25 cups (Best value for a full month's daily ritual)

Calculated based on 1 gently heaped teaspoon (approx. 2g–3g) per 250ml cup.

Serving estimates are based on a standard 1 tsp (approx. 2g) per cup. Yield may vary slightly depending on the density of specific root, seed, or leaf blends.
