How to brew
Description
Pour hot water over these whole lemon balm leaves and a soft citrus aroma rises with the steam. The infusion is pale gold and clean on the palate, with a fresh, lemony lift that settles into something soothing. Melissa officinalis has its roots in Western Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean, and now grows happily across Europe's temperate regions. For centuries it has been a friend to beekeepers and an ally of calm, traditionally enjoyed to ease tension and lift a low mood. We like it in the evening, a cup half an hour before rest, or as a quiet pause here by the river. Loose leaf, to enjoy at O Cais or take home.
