About lemon verbena & lavender
Lemon verbena, also known as the lemon bush, is renowned for its intense citrus fragrance, which emanates from the plant’s leaves. It has a distinctive aroma and is also a versatile herb for both culinary and medicinal uses. As a healing herb, it is often brewed as tea to soothe sports injuries or colds, or to promote relaxation during breastfeeding. The variety of lavender in this blend is celebrated for its high-quality essential oils, which have been cherished for centuries for its potent healing properties and calming effects. Packed into bio silk teabags, each is sealed within an individual envelope to protect the tea from exposure to air, light, moisture and odour, and ensures that every cup is fresh and full of flavour.
Cultivation
Our lemon verbena is sourced from sustainably managed gardens in South America, where it thrives in optimal climatic conditions. The long, green leaves of the evergreen shrub are carefully hand-picked and gently sun-dried to preserve their intense aromas and valuable compounds. The lavender, meanwhile, is cultivated at altitudes between 600 and 1,500 meters. These stunning lavender buds release their full aromatic potential and rich essential oils in hot water.
Effects
This harmonious blend of lemon verbena and lavender offers a soothing and relaxing effect on both body and mind. Lemon verbena is rich in lemon-scented essential oils known for their appetite-stimulating and digestive-supporting properties. Traditionally, it has been used to relieve digestive issues, nervousness, insomnia, and colds, providing a gentle calming effect. Lavender, on the other hand, supports a balanced sleep cycle, especially in cases of restlessness and insomnia.
How to enjoy
This refreshing yet calming herbal tea is a delight at any time of day. It pairs beautifully with light dishes such as fresh lemon couscous or a salad with grilled vegetables. For a sweet pairing, enjoy it alongside a Tarte au Citron, lavender shortbread, or almond biscotti.
