有機イラクサの葉

Wasn't sure what to expect from nettle but the earthy, grassy taste grew on me by the third cup. I drink it in the afternoon when I want something calming without caffeine, and it's been easy on my stomach too.

My morning tea routine finally feels complete with these leaves - the color steeps into a deep golden green that reminds me of the herb gardens I visited in Egypt. What really sold me is the smoothness after brewing; no bitterness, just a gentle earthy calm that lasts through my whole workday.

I’ve been brewing a cup every evening this week and the loose leaves really hold up—second steep is just as golden as the first. There’s something grounding about sipping a plant with that much history, even if I can’t feel the ancient Romans’ arthritis relief myself.
