Himalayan Nettle • Sisnu Leaf

Description

A Himalayan staple, gently dried

Stinging nettle, known in Nepal as sisnu, grows wild on the hillsides and has long been gathered by mountain families for soups and teas. Once dried, the sting is gone and the leaf brews a smooth, green cup.

The flavour is soft and earthy, a little like green tea or spinach broth, with a clean, savoury finish. It blends well with spearmint or lemongrass for a brighter cup.

The Brewing Ritual

• Measure: 2g (about 1 heaped teaspoon) loose leaf per 250ml cup.
• Heat: Use freshly boiled water (95°C).
• Steep: Cover and steep for 5 to 8 minutes.
• Savor: Enjoy plain, or add a slice of lemon.

Ingredients: Dried nettle leaf (Urtica dioica).
Caffeine: 0% (naturally caffeine-free).
