Lemon balm, also known as melissa, makes a light, fresh herbal tea with a clear lemon aroma and a mild, almost honey-like sweetness. It is naturally caffeine-free, so it suits a late evening just as well as the middle of the day. Loose leaf gives the leaves and flowers room to unfurl in the cup, so the full flavour and aroma come through.
