Chamomile Tea-Loose Flowers

Traditionally used to alleviate anxiety and as a gentle sedative, Chamomile is a widely used and versatile herb. It has been used in many cultures and is gentle enough to be used in children’s products. Chamomile can be used in ointments, creams, compresses, poultices and liniments.

Chamomile tea is a caffeine-free herbal infusion made from the dried flowers of the chamomile plant. It is a tisane, not a true tea, because it comes from the daisy family (Asteraceae) rather than the Camellia sinensis plant that produces black, green, white, and oolong teas. The word chamomile itself traces back to the Greek “khamai” (ground) and “melon” (apple), a reference to the apple-like scent the plant gives off when crushed underfoot.

About this product

Chamomile tea is one of the most widely consumed herbal teas in the world, and for good reason. Two distinct species, German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla), and Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile), produce dried flowers that brew into a naturally caffeine-free cup with a flavour profile distinct from other tisanes.
