How much caffeine is in Nettle & Lemon Balm Botanical Infusion?

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

What temperature should I use for Nettle & Lemon Balm 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 Nettle & Lemon Balm Botanical Infusion be extracted?

Extract for 6:00 using Covered Mug Infusion, at a ratio of 12g/L (3g blend to 240g water), prepared at Whole Leaf. Time and ratio move together: a heavier dose generally wants a shorter contact time.

Why does my Nettle & Lemon Balm 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 Nettle & Lemon Balm Botanical Infusion?

Seek clinician guidance for pregnancy, kidney conditions, allergies, or medication interactions. Do not treat an infusion as a replacement for prescribed care. This is general educational information, not medical advice — consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own circumstances.
