Relaxation & Sleep Support

Lemon balm, also known as Melissa officinalis, is a gentle herb popular for its calming properties. Traditionally used for centuries, lemon balm works by interacting with the nervous system to reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. Its natural compounds help ease mental tension, soothe restlessness, and promote a balanced mood without causing sedation or heaviness.

Unlike stronger sleep aids, lemon balm supports relaxation by encouraging the body and mind to relax and calm. It is often included in herbal teas because it helps ease racing thoughts and supports emotional well-being, making it easier to unwind after a busy day.

In addition to its calming effects, lemon balm is known for its mild, fresh citrus aroma and flavor, which adds a refreshing note to tea blends. When combined with other calming herbs, it creates a natural way to support relaxation anytime you need to find a moment of peace.

For the best calming effect, start by placing one of our carefully crafted herbal tea bags into a cup. Pour hot water, about 8 ounces, just off the boil, over the tea bag and let it steep for about 5 to 7 minutes. This allows the herbs to fully release their natural flavors and soothing properties. Avoid rushing the steeping process; giving the tea enough time helps release its calming properties and health benefits. Once brewed, remove the tea bag and enjoy your tea slowly, taking a moment to pause and relax.

Herbal teas are generally safe for most people and can be enjoyed daily as part of a calming routine. However, if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have any health issues, it's a good idea to check with your healthcare provider before adding new herbal blends to your routine. Some herbs can interact with medications or may not be suitable in certain situations. Always read the ingredient list, especially if you have allergies or sensitivities. Our teas are made with carefully selected herbs, but it's important to choose what works best for your individual needs.

Peppermint is a popular ingredient in herbal teas, especially those made for calm and relaxation. It's known for its naturally cooling and soothing effect on the body. One of its key health benefits is how it supports digestive health, easing bloating, discomfort, and tension in the stomach, which can help the body feel more at ease overall. The refreshing aroma of peppermint also helps clear the mind and can reduce feelings of stress or fatigue. In calming blends, it pairs well with other herbs to create a balanced cup that feels both light and comforting.

The main difference between green tea and herbal teas lies in what they're made from and how they affect the body:

Green tea comes from the Camellia sinensis plant, the same plant used to make black, oolong, and white tea. It contains caffeine and a range of antioxidant properties, and is often used to support alertness, metabolism, and general wellness. Because of its caffeine content, green tea can have a mild stimulating effect.

Herbal teas, on the other hand, are not technically tea at all. They're made from herbs, flowers, fruits, spices, or other plant parts, and not from the tea plant. Most herbal teas are naturally caffeine free, making them a great option for relaxation, digestion, bedtime routines, or a healthy lifestyle.
