Lemon Verbena (Aloysia citrodora)

Our Farm Commitment

Lemon Verbena is one of the key herbs we are cultivating at Anousha Herb Farm. While we are not yet using 100% of our own harvest, our goal is to grow this herb primarily on our farm in the near future.

Growing & Harvesting

Lemon Verbena thrives in warm, sunny conditions and rewards careful growers with highly aromatic leaves. At our herb farm, leaves are harvested by hand at their most fragrant stage, then slowly dried in controlled conditions to protect their natural oils.

Taste & Aroma

Lemon Verbena has a bright, clean citrus aroma with a soft sweetness and no bitterness. Its flavour is refreshing yet gentle, making it ideal both as a single-herb infusion and as a base note in herbal blends.

Due to these properties, Lemon Verbena is considered a valuable medicinal herb for overall health and well-being.
