Ingredients: Organic Bee Balm / Wild Bergamont

Are all of your ingredients organic?

We love providing herbs that are fresh, pure, and of the highest quality. Whenever possible, we source from small family farms that grow with care for the land. Some of our partners are USDA-certified organic, while others practice organic methods but choose not to certify due to the cost.

Because our own facility is not USDA-certified, we don’t label our finished products as “organic.” Instead, you’ll see “organic” noted in the ingredient lists when that particular ingredient was grown on a certified organic farm. We want to stay transparent while still offering you the cleanest, most responsibly grown ingredients we can find.

We’re grateful to support local growers, and we believe that when ingredients are raised with integrity, you can taste and feel the difference in every cup.

Herbs are legally sold by the ounce but often we get asked how many cups are in a bag.

This herb has an approximate average of 24 cups per pound.

Cut and sifted wild bergamot can be:

  • Steeped into teas with minty, floral, and citrusy character
  • Infused into oils for skin-care recipes
  • Incorporated into herbal vinegars and tinctures
  • Blended with other herbs in DIY apothecary or craft projects

Store in an airtight container away from temperature extremes and sunlight.
