Lemon Verbena Leaf - Organic

Botanical name: Aloysia citriodora

Our organic lemon verbena brews into a bright, aromatic, citrus-forward tea with soft herbal notes. Naturally caffeine-free, lemon verbena is prized for its uplifting aroma, digestive support, and calming effects, and is equally loved for its wide range of culinary and cosmetic uses.

Sourced from Portugal and Egypt, lemon verbena is harvested when the leaves are at peak flavour, just as the delicate purple-white flowers begin to open in late spring or early summer.

About Lemon Verbena

Lemon verbena is considered one of the most intensely lemon-scented plants in the herbal world. Traditionally, it has been used to ease digestive discomfort, calm nervous tension, and gently uplift the mood.

In culinary traditions, lemon verbena is used sparingly due to its potency and is enjoyed in both sweet and savoury dishes, including teas, syrups, desserts, and spice blends. It pairs especially well with herbs such as rosemary and sage, and can be used as a citrus-forward alternative to lemon zest.

Lemon verbena has also been widely used in cosmetic and body care preparations, including soaps, lotions, shampoos, salves, and herbal sachets.

How to Brew

• Hot tea: Steep 1–2 tsp per cup of freshly boiled water for 5–7 minutes

• Iced tea: Brew strong, strain, and chill

• Use sparingly — a little goes a long way

Pairs Well With

Mint, lemon balm, lavender, rosemary, sage
