What Is Traditional Medicinals Organic Nettle Leaf Tea?
Traditional Medicinals Organic Nettle Leaf Tea is a caffeine-free single-herb tea containing one ingredient: organic stinging nettle leaf (Urtica dioica). Each box holds 16 individually wrapped tea bags, and each bag supplies 2,000mg of organic nettle leaf — 32g of nettle leaf per box in total. The taste is earthy and fresh. Traditional Medicinals labels it a herbal supplement; in the UK and EU it sits in the food supplement category.
Every herbal ingredient is certified organic by CCOF, and the pack carries the USDA Organic seal, the Non-GMO Project Verified mark, a Kosher symbol and the Certified B Corporation mark. Traditional Medicinals has been making herbal teas since 1974 and is distributed from 4515 Ross Road, Sebastopol, California. You can see the full range on our Traditional Medicinals brand page.
This is a dietary supplement, not a medicine. It is intended to support general health and wellbeing, not to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Is This Nettle Leaf or Nettle Root?
This tea is made from nettle leaf — the green aerial part of the plant, harvested above ground. Nettle root is a separate preparation taken from below ground, sold under its own product names and used for different purposes. The two are not interchangeable, and the Supplement Facts panel on this pack declares organic stinging nettle leaf only.
If you searched for stinging nettle tea, organic nettle tea bags or nettle herbal tea, this is the leaf product you were looking for. If you specifically need nettle root, contact us and we can check the available product information for you.
What Does Traditional Medicinals Say This Tea Supports?
Traditional Medicinals states the herbal power of this tea as: “Supports joint health and everyday wellness.” That is the manufacturer’s own wording, printed on the pack, and it is the positioning this product is sold under worldwide.
On the same panel, Traditional Medicinals describes the plant this way: “In herbalism, nettle is the mother of all spring tonics. Known for its ability to support the whole body as well as joint health, this tea can help kick-start your body when you’re feeling stagnant.” The company also notes that some of its favourite nettle comes from the wild meadows of Eastern and Southern Europe, where collectors harvest it by hand with a sickle.
These are Traditional Medicinals’ descriptions of its own product. Recs-Medix publishes them as the manufacturer’s wording rather than as independent claims of our own.

What the certifications on this pack mean

- Non-GMO Project Verified — the tea and the tea bags themselves carry this verification.
- Kosher — the pack carries a Kosher certification symbol.
- Certified B Corporation — this applies to Traditional Medicinals as a company, covering its sourcing and business practices, not to the tea as a product.
- Single ingredient — organic stinging nettle leaf is the only herbal ingredient. No blends, no fillers on the panel.
How Do You Brew Nettle Leaf Tea Properly?
Pour 8 oz (240ml) of freshly boiled water over 1 tea bag. Cover and steep for 10 to 15 minutes. Squeeze and remove the tea bag. Enjoy 3–4 cups per day. The long covered steep matters — nettle leaf is a root-and-leaf style herbal infusion rather than a 2-minute black tea, and covering the cup keeps the volatile compounds in the water instead of in the steam.
Calculated from the 16-bag pack: one box lasts 16 days at one cup daily, 8 days at two cups daily, or 4 to 5 days at the full 3–4 cups Traditional Medicinals suggests. Customers building a daily routine at the higher serving usually order two or three boxes at a time.
The tea is caffeine-free, so it fits at any point in the day. Results vary between individuals. Supplements are intended to support a healthy diet and lifestyle, not to replace them.
Who Is This Tea For?
