Nettle Leaf comes from the Stinging Nettle plant (Urtica dioica), which is famous for its stinging hairs when fresh. When dried or cooked, the leaves lose their sting completely and are used to make a popular, earthy herbal tea or as a potherb, similar to spinach.

What does Nettle tea taste like?

Nettle tea has a deep, earthy, and full-bodied 'green' flavour. It's not bitter, but rather smooth and herbaceous, similar to a rich spinach broth or a Japanese green tea.

Can you eat Nettle? What about the sting?

Yes, you can. The 'sting' from the fresh plant is neutralised by heat (blanching, steaming, boiling) or by thorough drying. Our dried Nettle Leaf is perfectly safe to handle and brew, and has no sting. Cooked, it's a traditional and nutritious potherb.

How do you make Nettle tea from the dried leaf?

To make a herbal infusion, use 1-2 teaspoons of the dried leaves per cup. Pour over hot (not boiling) water and cover the cup. Steeping it covered for 5-10 minutes traps the volatile oils and flavours. Strain and serve.

What is the difference between Nettle Leaf and Nettle Root?

They are two different parts of the plant used for different purposes. The leaf (this product) is used for teas and as a 'green' food. The root is a tough, woody material that is typically ground or used in tinctures for different traditional reasons.

Is Nettle tea caffeine-free?

Yes, Nettle Leaf is a herbal tea (tisane) and is 100% naturally caffeine-free. It is a relaxing, earthy brew that can be enjoyed at any time of day or night.
