Racing Thoughts Lemon Balm Tea, Chamomile Lavender Herbal Tea with Oat Straw & Skullcap, Caffeine Free Loose Leaf Evening Tea

Our Still Waters Tea brings together lemon balm with oat straw, skullcap, chamomile, and a delicate touch of lavender in a soft, garden-inspired loose-leaf blend rooted in traditional evening herbalism.

LEMON BALM

Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) forms the green, aromatic foundation of Still Waters.

It contributes a mild herbaceous flavor with a naturally fresh, subtly lemon-like character.

Lemon balm has been cultivated for centuries in European monastery, physic, cottage, and household gardens and has a particularly rich history as both a culinary and tea herb.

It has traditionally appeared in evening herbal preparations, making it a natural foundation for a blend designed around the quieter part of the day.

OAT STRAW

Oat straw (Avena sativa) contributes a mild, grassy character with a subtle natural sweetness.

The green aerial portions of the oat plant have a long history within Western herbal traditions and have traditionally been prepared as infusions.

Oat straw gives Still Waters an especially old-fashioned character—less like a commercially flavored tea and more like something that might have been measured from jars in an herbalist's cupboard.

SKULLCAP

Skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora) contributes a green, mildly earthy and somewhat bitter botanical character.

American skullcap is native to North America and developed an important place within North American and Western herbal traditions.

It became particularly recognizable in traditional evening and quiet-time herbal preparations.

Here, skullcap provides herbaceous depth beneath the brighter lemon balm and softer chamomile.

CHAMOMILE

Chamomile contributes the familiar golden flowers and softly sweet, floral character that rounds out Still Waters.

Its subtle apple-like notes soften the greener herbs and make the finished infusion more approachable.

Chamomile has been enjoyed for generations throughout European and Western herbal traditions and remains one of the most recognizable herbs associated with the evening tea cupboard.

Its long history in teas and household preparations makes it a natural companion to lemon balm, oat straw, and skullcap.

LAVENDER

Lavender contributes the most distinctly aromatic note in Still Waters.

Because lavender can quickly dominate an herbal tea, it is intentionally used in a smaller proportion.

The result is a gentle floral-herbaceous aroma rather than an overwhelmingly lavender-flavored cup.

Lavender has centuries of documented use throughout European household traditions, including culinary preparations, perfumery, bathing, aromatic preparations, and herbal teas.
