Botanical name: Nepeta cataria
Our organic catnip brews into a mild, slightly minty, gently grassy tea with soft floral notes. Naturally caffeine-free, catnip has a long history of use in herbalism and is most commonly used to calm the nervous system, promote restful sleep, and soothe digestive and emotional upset, especially in children and infants.
Sourced from the USA, this gentle herb is well known for its dual nature — calming for humans, and famously playful for cats.
