Ingredients: Organic Lemon Balm

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 17 cups per pound.

Lemon balm leaf can be:

  • Steeped as a tea for a refreshing citrusy flavor
  • Blended with other herbs like chamomile, mint, or hibiscus
  • Infused into syrups, oils, or vinegars for kitchen and apothecary projects
  • Added to baked goods or homemade jellies for a light lemon note

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