Organic Lemon Balm Leaf – Dried Loose Herb & Tea Bags | Melissa officinalis | Calming Citrus Mint Tea for Stress & Sleep

Bright, refreshing, and deeply soothing, this organic lemon balm leaf brings clarity, calm, and a breath of citrus-scented peace to your herbal shelf.

Herbal Overview

Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) is one of the most beloved herbs in both the garden and the apothecary. A member of the mint family, it carries a soft citrus fragrance that lifts the spirit and calms the body, making it a favorite for tea, tincture, and evening rituals.

Our organic lemon balm is grown or wildcrafted in the United States and gently dried to preserve its aromatic oils and vibrant green hue. Traditionally used to ease tension, support sleep, and encourage focus, lemon balm is perfect for winding down after a long day or finding a moment of calm in the middle of it.

On the farm, lemon balm grows just outside the stillroom door, tucked between lavender and chamomile. It thrives quietly, spreading joyfully, and offers itself generously when needed most. It’s one of those herbs that feels like a deep breath, always welcome, always grounding.

Stillroom Notes

Lemon balm is always within arm’s reach here. It’s my go-to when the world feels too loud or when sleep won’t come easily. I often blend it with spearmint and lavender for a simple bedtime tea. Just the scent alone is enough to ease the heart.
