Teekanne Melisse Lemon Balm Herbal Tea 40g (1.4oz)

Teekanne Melisse Lemon Balm Herbal Tea is the dried lemon balm (Melissa officinalis, Melisse in German) infusion from Teekanne, the Düsseldorf-based German tea company founded in 1882 — the Melisse tisane in the Teekanne herbal range, representing one of the most trusted medicinal herbs in the German and Central European pharmacy and folk medicine tradition. Teekanne (Düsseldorf, founded 1882) is one of the oldest and most recognized German tea companies, whose name ('teapot') became synonymous with the German herbal and fruit tea category — the brand that the German Apotheke (pharmacy) and the Drogerie stocked from the imperial period through the present, making Teekanne the reference standard for German herbal tea quality across Central and Eastern Europe through multiple generations. Lemon balm (Melisse, Melissa officinalis) is among the most trusted nervine herbs in the German pharmacy tradition — approved by the German Kommission E for nervousness, anxiety, and sleep difficulties, and used in the Central European monastery pharmacy tradition since the Middle Ages as the calming herb whose Melissengeist (lemon balm spirit) the apothecary sold for nervous complaints and whose fresh leaves the German kitchen grows on the windowsill. Brew with freshly boiled water at 90°C for 5 minutes, sweeten lightly with honey if desired, and drink as the evening wind-down infusion, the daytime calming tea for stressful days, or the herbal tisane that the German pharmacy tradition has recommended for nervous sleep difficulties since the days of the Hildegard von Bingen herbal canon.
