Description

Lemon balm, also known as Melissa officinalis, is a fragrant plant from the mint family with delicate, heart-shaped leaves and a fresh citrus flavour. Since ancient times, this plant has been prized for its calming effect and delicate aroma. The flavour of lemon balm is light and fresh, with subtle hints of lemon without being sour – rather soft, soothing and floral. You will also find light undertones of mint, which clearly reveal its link to the mint family.

Originally from Southern Europe and the Middle East, lemon balm has been used in herbal medicine for centuries. In the Middle Ages, it was already used by monks in monastery gardens, including in the famous “Carmelite water” recipes. The plant is known for its calming effect on the body and mind and is often drunk to relieve stress, nervousness or insomnia. It is also said to aid digestion and provide mild relief from tension headaches.

Our lemon balm infusion at Thee.be consists of carefully dried leaves, which result in a deliciously soft and green-yellow cup. This infusion is ideal for those who need a moment of rest – a gentle companion in the evening or during a busy working day.

Drink lemon balm on its own, or mix it with other herbs such as lavender or chamomile for an extra relaxing experience. This infusion does not contain caffeine and is therefore suitable for any time of day.

Let yourself be carried away by the soothing freshness of lemon balm – a natural elixir for balance and serenity.
