How much caffeine is in Lemon Verbena Botanical Infusion?

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

What temperature should I use for Lemon Verbena Botanical Infusion?

Target 96°C (205°F). Below this range the cup tends toward sourness and thinness from under-extraction; above it, bitterness rises faster than sweetness.

How long should Lemon Verbena Botanical Infusion be extracted?

Extract for 5:00 using Covered Mug Infusion, at a ratio of 12g/L (3g leaves to 240g water), prepared at Whole Leaf. Time and ratio move together: a heavier dose generally wants a shorter contact time.

Why does my Lemon Verbena Botanical 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 Lemon Verbena Botanical Infusion?

Check with a clinician when using concentrated herbs with medications or during pregnancy. Do not infer therapeutic effects from aroma alone. This is general educational information, not medical advice — consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own circumstances.
