Lemon Verbena

Vibrant and refreshing herbal tea with citrus flavor profile and subtle floral undertones.

Lemon Verbena

Lemon verbena tea is a fragrant and invigorating herbal infusion made from the leaves of the lemon verbena plant. It is a beautiful herb not as recognized as peppermint or spearmint but with similar qualities but very different taste. The aroma is slightly minty, but the taste is lemony, subtly citrusy, bright and slightly sweet. The taste is not overpowering or offensive, it’s like water with a squeeze of lemon. Refreshing, thirst quenching and healthy.

Known for its bright and uplifting aroma, lemon verbena tea is cherished for its ability to awaken the senses and rejuvenate the spirit. The tea leaves release a natural lemony fragrance when steeped, creating a captivating sensory experience.

The taste is crisp, clean, and pleasantly tart, offering a refreshing and palate-cleansing sensation.

Lemon verbena tea is often enjoyed for its calming and soothing properties. It is believed to have a relaxing effect on the mind and body, making it a popular choice for those seeking a moment of tranquility and serenity.


Lemon verbena tea (often called verveine in French) is quite popular in France. It is widely enjoyed as a soothing herbal infusion, often consumed in the evening due to its calming and digestive properties. Lemon verbena has been a staple in French herbal traditions for centuries and is commonly served in homes, cafes, and restaurants, particularly after meals as a tisane (herbal tea).

The popularity stems from its refreshing citrus aroma, mild sweetness, and its reputation for aiding digestion and relaxation. Many French people associate verveine with comfort and well-being, making it a beloved choice in the country.

Whether enjoyed hot or iced, lemon verbena tea is a versatile beverage that can be savored at any time of day. It is often appreciated for its natural, caffeine-free composition, making it a suitable choice for individuals who prefer to avoid caffeine or seek a calming beverage before bedtime.
