Botanical profile
Lemon balm leaf (Melissa officinalis, Ph. Eur.: Melissae folium) loses its lemony aroma quickly if dried too hot or stored too long, so buyers ask for the harvest season of the lot and keep storage cool and dark. Tea-cut and fine-cut grades differ in leaf-to-stem ratio, which is worth fixing in the specification.
