Description
Vervain, also known as common vervain or Verbena officinalis, is a classic herb that has been valued since ancient times for its strengthening properties.
Unlike lemon verbena (Aloysia citrodora), this plant does not have a distinct lemon scent, but rather an earthy, herbal, and slightly bitter taste.
Vervain is often used as a herbal tea (infusion) and as a traditional fortifying tonic.
The power of Verbena officinalis lies in the combination of iridoids (bitter compounds), flavonoids, and phenolic acids.

How to prepare herbal tea with organic vervain
Vervain is ideal as an infusion or herbal tea.
Due to its slightly bitter and earthy taste, it is often combined with milder herbs such as mint or lemon verbena.
Preparation tip:
- Use about 10–15 g of vervain per liter of water (90°C)
- Let steep for 10 minutes, then strain
- Optionally combine with lemon verbena or chamomile for a softer flavor
Vervain tea is also refreshing and invigorating when served cold, like a natural tonic.
