Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) is a fragrant member of the mint family containing naturally occurring compounds including rosmarinic acid, flavonoids, and aromatic volatile oils such as citral and citronellal. For centuries, lemon balm has been traditionally enjoyed to promote relaxation and calmness and to support digestion and overall wellness. With its naturally mild, bright lemon flavor and refreshing aroma, lemon balm makes a delicious caffeine-free herbal tea that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

Lemon balm has been enjoyed for more than 2,000 years, with its earliest documented use tracing back to ancient Greece. The Greeks and Romans valued this fragrant herb, whose name Melissa comes from the Greek word for “honeybee,” and traditionally used it in preparations associated with comfort and well-being. Today, its pleasant citrusy flavor and gentle character continue to make lemon balm a favorite herb for the whole family.
