🌿 Premium Cut & Sifted Catnip (Nepeta cataria)
Catnip is one of the most quietly versatile herbs we carry, equally at home in a calming evening teacup and in your cat's favorite toy. Our cut and sifted leaf and flowering tops are harvested at peak aromatic oil content and sealed in a resealable pouch so every measure stays fragrant and fresh.
As a tea, catnip (Nepeta cataria) has a long, gentle place in European folk herbalism, traditionally sipped in the evening to wind down and to settle after a meal. Its flavor is soft and approachable, with notes of straw, mint, and dandelion that brew into a mellow, grassy cup. For brewing ideas and pairings, see our guide to blending and brewing herbal teas at home.
For cats, catnip is pure delight. The aromatic compounds in the leaf trigger a happy, playful response in most cats, and our high-oil harvest is chosen to make that experience as lively as possible. If you want the full story of why cats love it, our article on catnip as a feline euphoria and herbal marvel is a fun read.
Catnip grows readily across North America, and ours is grown in the USA and harvested at peak aromatic strength. Every lot we ship receives the same per-batch lab work and the same 100% money-back guarantee as everything we carry.
Radical transparency sits behind every pouch. Each lot is backed by a specific Certificate of Analysis verifying purity, potency, and the absence of contaminants, and we publish each batch's results so you can confirm exactly what you are receiving. You can learn what those documents mean in our guide on how to read a Certificate of Analysis.
🌱 From the Sacred Plant Co Farm. Sacred Plant Co is a soil-first farm. Our own farm in Colorado earned a groundbreaking Haney Soil Health Score of 25.4, a number that surpasses the soil biology measured in pristine forest land. That score is the heart of who we are. We believe healthier soil grows more complex, more potent plants, and that philosophy is the reason we hold every herb we carry to the same biological and per-lot testing standards.

Safety & Considerations
Catnip has a long record of gentle traditional use as a tea. A few sensible notes: it can be mildly relaxing, so allow for that if you are operating a vehicle or combining it with other calming herbs or sedatives. As a traditional precaution, catnip is generally avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you take prescription medication or have a medical condition, consult a qualified practitioner before adding any new herb to your routine.
For cats, catnip is non-addictive and safe to enjoy. Offer it in moderation, since a small pinch goes a long way, and keep the resealable pouch sealed between play sessions to preserve the aroma.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I brew catnip as a tea for myself, or is it just for cats?
We grow and prepare our catnip for both. As a tea, catnip has a long history in European folk herbalism as a gentle, calming evening brew with a soft minty character, and the same cut and sifted leaf your cat enjoys steeps into a soothing cup for you. Steep one to two teaspoons in hot water for about ten minutes, then sweeten to taste. Every lot is COA-verified, so the leaf in your cup is the same lab-tested quality we publish for that batch.
Why doesn't my cat react to catnip?
Sensitivity to catnip is genetic, and roughly one in three cats simply isn't wired to respond, which is completely normal. Kittens under about three months and some senior cats also tend to react less. We harvest our catnip for a high, aromatic oil content to give responsive cats the fullest experience, and if yours is in the calm crowd, our 100% money-back guarantee still has you covered.
How do I know your catnip is clean and high quality?
Every lot we ship is backed by a specific Certificate of Analysis that verifies purity, potency, and the absence of contaminants, and we publish each batch's COA so you can confirm exactly what you are receiving. You can read our guide on how to read a Certificate of Analysis to see precisely what we test for. This is the same radical transparency we hold every herb we carry to.
How should I store catnip to keep it fresh and potent?
Keep your catnip in its resealable pouch or an airtight jar, away from heat, light, and moisture, and it will hold its aroma for a long time. The aromatic oils are what both you and your cat respond to, so a cool, dark cupboard is ideal. Stored well, our cut and sifted catnip stays vivid and fragrant cup after cup, and play session after play session.
