Our Luiza (Lemon Verbena) also contains high amounts of the phytonutrient Luteolin (5.8mg per serving); twice the amount found in a serving of artichokes which is considered to be among the best sources of Luteolin. Luteolin belongs to a special class of phytonutrients called flavanones, it is considered a super nutrient and is the subject of significant research
Tasting notes: A mild earthiness with hints of lemon
Brewing:
Place a small handful (1.4g) in a pot with about 10 oz of freshly boiled water. Cover and steep for about 5-7 minutes. Strain, and enjoy. Crushing the leaves in your hand before steeping helps to release the essential oils and enhances the flavor.
You can also use a large format infuser that provides adequate contact between the leaves and water.
Delicious and soothing served hot but also makes a very refreshing iced tea.

Aroma Heaven
My mother is from Greece and Lemon Verbena has always been one of her favorite plant allies. She grew up where it grows abundantly, and I grew up trying to find it to make her smile. I have bought her rare essential oils, and natural soaps with lemon verbena. I even would pick it for her when I moved away and lived in Santa Cruz where it also grows fairly abundantly. One of my favorite spots to find it there also had fig trees and jasmine--basically an angel's paradise. This one has a divine, authentic aroma that make me think of my mom. I'm planning to give her some again soon.
