Description
Botanical Name: Melissa officinalis
Lemon Balm is a classic aromatic herb from the mint family, valued for its bright citrus fragrance, soft herbal sweetness and versatility across culinary and infusion traditions. Native to Europe and the Mediterranean, it has been cultivated for centuries as a kitchen herb, a brewed infusion and a fragrant household botanical.
Spice Zen’s Lemon Balm is sourced from certified organic cultivation in Egypt and consists of premium-quality crushed leaves, carefully dried to preserve their natural aroma and flavour. When brewed, lemon balm produces a clear golden infusion with a gentle lemony note, mild sweetness and a clean, rounded finish. Its flavour is subtle rather than sharp, making it well suited to everyday drinking.
Beyond tea, lemon balm is widely used as a culinary herb. Its fresh citrus character pairs naturally with vegetables, fish and poultry, and it is often added to salads, sauces, soups, vinegars and honey. It also lends itself well to cold preparations such as smoothies, iced teas and infused waters, where its aroma remains light and refreshing.
Lemon balm is equally appreciated for its aromatic qualities. Many people incorporate it into bath infusions, potpourri or simple household rituals, drawn to its familiar scent and gentle presence. As a single botanical, it offers clarity, flexibility and a restrained flavour profile that fits seamlessly into both culinary and everyday rituals.
Packed in biodegradable, resealable green pouches, this pure botanical reflects Spice Zen’s commitment to quality, simplicity and thoughtful sourcing.
