The list of vitamins and minerals in this herb includes nearly every one known to be necessary for human health and growth. Vitamins A, C, D and K, calcium, potassium, phosphorous, iron and sulphur are particularly abundant in nettles. Pure nettle tea can provide more energy than one cup of coffee. Traditionally used for stress reduction and energy, nettle has the added bonus of improving the absorption of iron within the bloodstream. Published in the journal “Zeitschrift Fur Phytotherapie” for German pharmacists, this study showed that patients who had been drinking nettle tea had more iron in their bloodstream compared to patients who were not given nettle.*
It blends well with other herbs like peppermint, lemon verbena, lemon balm, golden rod, hyssop and kanuka.

Ingredients: Stinging Nettle leaf dried
On my first packet of this nettle tea. Am hoping it will help with some joint pain - a bit early to tell yet but tastes good in the meantime. Rather like green tea but a bit "grassier", I have not found it bitter (unless I leave it steeping for far too long!) or "stinging nettle-y". Great, prompt service too!
