The story
Gentler than lemon, softer than mint
Lemon balm belongs to the mint family, but it takes a different path. Where peppermint hits you with menthol and lemongrass can be quite punchy, lemon balm keeps things subdued. The citrus character comes from volatile oils like citral and citronellal, the same compounds that give the fresh leaves their scent when you rub them between your fingers. In the cup it lands as a soft suggestion rather than a sharp note.
The leaves brew a clean golden liquor with a light herbal sweetness underneath. There is a faint minty coolness if you pay attention, but it never pushes forward. The flavour stays smooth even when the cup cools, which makes it forgiving if you get distracted and forget about it for ten minutes.
This is the sort of tea you reach for when the day is winding down and you want something warm without any fuss. No caffeine, no bold flavours demanding attention. Just a quiet cup that asks nothing of you.

Good questions
Things people ask us in the shop
Does lemon balm tea contain caffeine?
No. Lemon balm is naturally caffeine-free, so you can drink it in the evening without worrying about it keeping you awake.
What does lemon balm tea taste like?
It has a soft citrus flavour with light herbal sweetness and a hint of mint. Much gentler than lemon itself or lemongrass, with no sharpness.
Should I add milk?
Best without. The delicate citrus and herbal notes would get lost with milk. A slice of fresh lemon works nicely if you want to brighten it up.
How many cups will I get from a 50g pouch?
At roughly 1.5g per cup, a 50g pouch gives you around 33 cups. The 100g size gets you about 65 cups.
How should I store it?
Keep the pouch sealed in a cool, dry place away from strong odours. Like most herbal teas, it stays freshest within six months of opening.
