A perennial with separate male and female plants. Nettle (Urtica dioica) grows up to 4 feet tall and has toothed, pointed leaves that sting when touched. The sting causes a burning sensation. This is because each hair consists of a sharp, hollow spine that breaks off easily, allowing liquid inside, formic acid, to be released into the object causing the injury. In spite of its stinging, Nettles are of considerable usein many ways including culinary; they contain vitamins A and C, iron and a variety of other minerals. The young shoots can also be boiled as a vegetable. Nettle fibers can be spun into rope and made into cloth. Cosmetically, Nettle is a good cleanser, especially for oily skin. As a tea, Nettle may be taken hot or cold and many prefer it sweetened and flavored with lemon.

Mild sweet teaOct 17, 2009
By lesley9 I've been watching the new Dr. Oz show and he recently recommended nettle tea. So I bought some and this happened to be the brand I chose.
Nettle leaf tea is mild and sweet (I augment by using honey). Not absolutely sure of its benefits. It's touted as good for being a diuretic thereby keeping your kidneys clear and keeping bladder infections and kidney stones at bay. It's also suppose to help with arthritis. Dr. Oz had commented that it's suppose to help with head hair growth.
I recommend it if for no other reason in that it's pleasant for those who like a less bitter type of tea.
Alvita uses minimal packaging. The tea is in simple bags without strings or tags and smelled very fresh upon opening.
