Ready-made pharmacy teas with hops are usually multi-ingredient blends: valerian, lemon balm, motherwort or other plants are added to the hops. This is convenient, but it means you get a fixed composition and ratio of ingredients that cannot be changed.
LEKRASET Humalakäbid is a pure single-ingredient herb: only dried hop cones, without additional herbs, flavourings or fillers. This format suits those who:
- want to know exactly what they are drinking and control the composition of the drink;
- already use other herbal products and do not want unpredictable combinations;
- prefer to adjust the strength of the infusion themselves;
- plan to combine hops with other plants of their own choosing, if they wish.
The downside is that it is not pre-portioned: you need to measure out the herb and brew it yourself. For those who value the convenience of single-serve bags, the loose herb may be less practical when travelling or at work, but at home it gives you full control over the drink.
