Stinging Nettle Leaf

Dried Stinging Nettle Leaf (Urtica dioica) is a traditional leafy botanical, recognised for its naturally deep green colour and distinctive green, earthy herbal character.

Traditionally prepared as a herbal infusion, the dried leaves create what is commonly known as nettle tea — a pleasantly herbaceous botanical cup that can be enjoyed on its own or blended with complementary herbs.

Stinging Nettle has a long history within traditional European herbal practices, where the leaves have been gathered and prepared in teas, foods and a variety of botanical preparations.
