Biokoma Organic Lemon Balm Dried Leaves

Honestly, it's much more herbal than citrusy. While it's called 'lemon balm,' multiple customers note the lemon flavor is quite minimal—it's really more of a soft, calming herbal tea with a fresh aroma. If you're expecting a zingy lemon taste, you might be disappointed. But if you want a mild, soothing herb with just a whisper of lemon in the background, this delivers beautifully.

The fresh aroma is actually one of this product's standout features—several customers specifically praise how fragrant and fresh-smelling it is right out of the pouch. That pleasant scent carries through when you brew it too, even though the actual flavor is quite delicate.

Absolutely! Lemon balm is incredibly versatile. Customers have used it in cooking, made it into lotions, and blended it with other herbs. Because the flavor is so mild, it works well as a base ingredient that won't overpower whatever you're making. It's perfect if you want a multi-purpose herb rather than just a standalone tea.

Yes, it's very beginner-friendly. The flavor is delicate and approachable—nothing harsh or overwhelming. It's the kind of tea that's easy to drink on its own, but also works beautifully when blended with other herbs if you want to experiment. Plus, being USDA organic with no additives means you're starting with quality ingredients.

You get 50g (1.76oz) in a resealable moisture-proof pouch, and several customers mention it's good value for the quantity. Because lemon balm is so lightweight and the flavor is mild, a little goes a long way—you'll get quite a few cups out of this pouch.

One customer did note a Prop 65 warning on their packaging. Prop 65 is a California regulation that requires warnings about a wide range of substances, and these warnings appear on many food products—even organic ones. If you have specific health concerns, it's worth researching Prop 65 warnings and deciding what you're comfortable with. The product itself is USDA certified organic with no additives or GMOs.
