How much caffeine is in Bavarian Lemon Balm Calming Infusion?

Bavarian Lemon Balm Calming Infusion is naturally caffeine-free, so each 8 oz cup (240ml) serving contains no measurable caffeine.

What temperature should I use for Bavarian Lemon Balm Calming Infusion?

Target 95°C (203°F). Below this range the cup tends toward sourness and thinness from under-extraction; above it, bitterness rises faster than sweetness.

How long should Bavarian Lemon Balm Calming Infusion be extracted?

Extract for 5-8 minutes covered to retain oils using Porcelain Teapot or Mug with Lid, at a ratio of 4g per 240ml water, prepared at Whole Leaf. Time and ratio move together: a heavier dose generally wants a shorter contact time.

Why does my Bavarian Lemon Balm Calming Infusion taste bitter?

Bitterness almost always indicates over-extraction. Shorten the contact time, lower the water temperature slightly, or use less leaf. Change one variable at a time so you can tell which one was responsible.

Who should avoid Bavarian Lemon Balm Calming Infusion?

May lower thyroid hormone levels; consult a physician if dealing with hypothyroidism. Avoid consuming large amounts before driving due to potential drowsiness. This is general educational information, not medical advice — consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own circumstances.
