Belonging to the mint family, Lemon Balm carries the botanical name Melissa, drawn from the Greek word for bee, a nod to the tiny pale flowers that readily draw pollinators. Native to the Mediterranean region, this soft green herb has been tended in gardens and courtyards for more than two thousand years, valued for its gentle presence and bright, uplifting scent.
When steeped, the leaves release a honey~lemon aroma and a taste that is clean, lightly citrusy, and subtle, with a quiet softness reminiscent of Chamomile. Today, Lemon Balm remains a familiar companion in herbal blends and stands comfortably on its own, offering a simple, fragrant tea with deep roots and an easy charm.
