The Best Nettle Tea Bags
All nettle tea bags are not created equal, and some are better than others in terms of quality. While I would advocate nettle tea from your own dried herbs, there are times when this isn’t possible. As such, nettle tea bags are a great alternative. I often use them when I don’t have time to make a batch of tea.
However, you have to make sure you purchase high-quality nettle tea bags that don’t contain any filler. In some cases, manufacturer’s will “bulk-up” the contents of the tea bags by adding dried white nettle to what should be 100 percent dried stinging nettle leaves. I’ve tried almost all of the nettle tea bags on the market and believe me, you can taste a difference in the inferior brands.
Here are my top picks for the best nettle tea bags on the market:
Alvita manufactures some of the best herbal tea 
blends available and their nettle tea bags are no exception. Alvita has been making and promoting herbal teas for more than 75 years and they can be trusted to provide high-quality products.
There’s not much difference between making your own nettle tea from dried herbs and using one of these tea bags. The nettle used has been freshly dried and contains no fillers. Suitable for making iced and hot tea, Alvita nettle tea bags are the best of the best.
Alvita products are often available at local health food stores and even some well-stocked supermarkets. Try asking your local merchants to carry Alvita if they don’t already, or buy them online. You can usually find them in bulk on the internet quite easily. While Alvita may cost a little more than competing brands, it’s well worth it for this kind of quality.
Celebration Herbals Nettle Leaf Tea Bags
Celebration herbals is a small family-owned 
company that produces excellent quality herbal products, including herbal tea bags. Their nettle tea is superb, and is moderately priced compared to other brands.
However, if you want to support a small business, buy from Celebration Herbals. Not just for their status, but also for their superior products.
The Celebration Herbals nettle tea bags are certified organics and each time I’ve ordered them, they’ve been fresh and free of fillers. I highly recommend this brand, although they can be difficult to find locally. Only a handful of retailers carry them, but they can be purchased online for a reasonable price.
NOW Foods Organic Nettle Tea Bags
My second pick for the best nettle tea bags out there are 
made by NOW Foods. You may be familiar with the company, as they create a wide variety of herbal supplements, teas and other nutritional products. The best thing about NOW Foods’ products is they provide high-quality at an affordable price.
Their nettle tea bags create a great cup of smooth, refreshing tea without too much bitterness, although I would recommend using a little honey if you aren’t familiar with the taste of nettle tea. Otherwise, these are a great, inexpensive brand of nettle tea bags.
You may be able to find NOW Foods products in your local health food store, but I have never been able to locate the teas in retail stores. They can always be ordered online if necessary, and if you buy several boxes, you can spread out the shipping cost so it ends up saving money in the long run. I purchase these when Alvita isn’t in stock or I’m running a little low on cash.
