A Floral Herbal Tea of Lemon Balm, Tulsi & Rose

Balance Tea is a caffeine-free, loose-leaf herbal tea for a pause in the day, morning or evening. Tulsi, the holy basil grown in courtyards across India, is blended with lemon balm, chamomile, vervain and whole rose petals. Whole leaves and petals are used throughout, and each serving can be steeped twice.

The Herbs

Lemon Balm: a reliable, uplifting nervine that calms a busy mind and sharpens concentration.

Tulsi (Holy Basil): a revered adaptogen, helping to regulate stress hormones, uplift the mood, and support mental clarity.

Chamomile: traditionally used to soften physical tension.

Vervain: a cooling nervous system tonic and gentle bitter, helping to ground erratic nervous energy.

Rose Petals: a cooling, comforting quality that eases irritability and provides a naturally soothing aroma.

Taste Profile: Bright and citrus-led from lemon balm, with a sweet floral depth from rose and chamomile and a gently peppery finish from tulsi.

Weight: 35g loose leaf (makes approximately 30 cups)

Format: Loose leaf, for a teapot or infuser

Caffeine: Caffeine-free

Additives: No added flavourings, colourings or preservatives

Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla), Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis), Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum), Vervain (Verbena officinalis), Rose Petals (Rosa)

Our Balance Tea is designed to be easily integrated into your daily wellness routine:

Standard Protocol: Add 1 teaspoon of the loose herbs into a teapot or an infuser cup. Pour freshly boiled water directly over the blend.

The Infusion Method: Add 1 teaspoon of the loose herbs into a teapot or an infuser cup. Pour freshly boiled water directly over the blend. Cover immediately and let the herbs steep for 10 - 15 minutes. Strain, allow to cool to a comfortable drinking temperature, and enjoy.

Bonus Infusion: You can infuse the same serving of herbs a second time with boiling water to enjoy a subsequent cup later in the day.

When to Drink: 1 - 2 cups per day, enjoyed at any point when you need a moment of calm. You can increase your intake up to 3 cups per day for those days when you need it.

Health Notice

Balance Tea is a herbal tea and is not intended to replace medical treatment. Anyone managing a diagnosed medical condition, or under the care of a specialist for neurological, psychological or cardiovascular health, should consult their doctor before use.

A Daily Pause

Pair with our Grounding Oil: A few drops of Zen Maitri Grounding Oil on the wrists during a quiet moment to enhance the feeling of calm.

Take in the fresh air: Step outside regularly for fresh air and peaceful reflection.

Spend time with loved ones: Prioritise spending time with loved ones, friends, or community groups.

Prioritise Quality Sleep: Aim for 7 - 9 hours of continuous, restful sleep each night.

Chamomile and lemon balm are the gentlest and most widely used calming herbs in Western practice, and tulsi is the Ayurvedic equivalent. Balance Tea contains all three with vervain and rose petal, and is
caffeine-free so it can be drunk through the day.

Tulsi, or holy basil (Ocimum sanctum), is a sacred plant in Hindu households, grown in a pot by the door and tended daily. In Ayurveda it is classed as an adaptogen and taken for calm and clarity.

Up to three or four cups daily. Balance is among the gentlest teas in the range and is designed for regular use rather than occasional.

The tea is a gentle five-herb infusion for drinking through the day. The capsules are a stronger adaptogenic formula built on ashwagandha and rhodiola, taken daily as a supplement. The tincture sits between them. Many people take the capsules in the morning and drink the tea in the afternoon.

Yes, it is caffeine-free. It is calming rather than sedating, so it suits the evening without being specifically a sleep tea — Deep Sleep Tea is the one for that.

This functional herbal infusion has been carefully formulated by our Medical Herbalists to support your baseline well-being when navigating busy, demanding, or stressful life moments, leaving you feeling calmer and more grounded.

We recommend enjoying 1–2 cups per day, taken at any time during the day when you feel you need a restorative pause. During periods of increased pressure or heavy schedules, you can safely increase your intake up to 3 cups per day.

Yes, this is a gentle, caffeine-free formulation composed of nourishing and supportive botanicals. It is perfectly safe to include as a relaxing, comforting addition to your everyday wellness routine.

If you are currently taking any prescribed medications, we recommend consulting a qualified healthcare provider or speaking directly with our Medical Herbalists at info@zenmaitri.com before use, as active plant compounds can interact with certain pharmaceutical treatments.

Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Chamomile is not suitable if you are allergic to plants in the daisy family.

One 35g tin contains approximately 30 servings, depending on your preferred brewing strength. Because our high-quality botanicals are structurally dense, you can safely infuse each serving a second time later in the day.

Yes, this blend is entirely caffeine-free and can be enjoyed comfortably in the afternoon or evening without impacting your sleep.

While the active botanical compounds remain stable if the tea cools down, our medical herbalists recommend drinking it warm. Warm liquids support healthy circulation and are much gentler on sensitive internal systems, helping you get the most comfort from the herbs.
