What are Nettle Leaf Tea Bags?

Nettle Leaf Tea Bags are organic Urtica dioica leaf in 25 tea bags. Nettle tea brews deep green and tastes distinctly vegetal, more like a broth or a dark leafy green than like tea.

About Nettle Leaf

Fresh nettle stings; dried and brewed, it doesn't, because heat and drying disarm the hairs entirely. It's a long-standing spring green across Europe, eaten in soups as often as it's drunk. Caffeine-free.

How to brew Nettle Leaf Tea Bags

Use one tea bag per cup. Pour hot water over the bag and steep to taste, then lift the bag out. See the brewing chart below for the water temperature and steep time we suggest for this style. Each pouch holds 25 tea bags (net wt 2 oz (57 g)), and the bags are unbleached paper with no staples, strings, or tags.
