Chamomile tea.
Whole flowers.
A simple cup.
Whole chamomile flowers from Uttarakhand. Naturally caffeine-free, with just one ingredient.
Brew it your way.
A cup made from flowers.
Chamomile is made from the dried flowers of a daisy-like plant. Steeped in hot water, the flowers release their aroma and flavour. It is a herbal infusion, rather than a tea made from the leaves used for green, oolong or black tea.
Our chamomile comes from Uttarakhand. We use whole dried chamomile flowers, with no other ingredients blended in.
Start with a plain cup and discover its flavour for yourself.
Brew it your way.
A heatproof cup, hot water and your everyday tea strainer are enough.
Add the flowers.
Place 1 g of dried chamomile flowers in a heatproof cup or infuser. Check your sample pack for the portion size.
Start with this recipe and adjust to taste. For a fuller cup, try 5 minutes next time; for a lighter cup, shorten the steep. Heat the water separately. Steep the flowers off the stove.
Small tips for a better cup.
Do I need any special equipment?
No. A heatproof mug, a kitchen tea strainer and an ordinary kettle are enough. Heat fresh drinking water to about 95°C, pour it over the flowers and cover for 4 minutes. Then strain into another cup. Without a thermometer, let freshly boiled water stand briefly before pouring.
Should I add milk or sugar?
Enjoy it as it is. Milk and sugar aren't needed, but you're welcome to experiment.
Can I brew the same flowers again?
You can give it a try straight after the first cup. Add fresh hot water and steep a little longer. Expect a lighter cup the second time.
Does chamomile contain caffeine?
Chamomile is naturally caffeine-free. Our infusion contains only chamomile flowers, with no green, oolong or black tea blended in.
What are the benefits of drinking chamomile tea?
Chamomile offers a naturally caffeine-free cup with a floral aroma. Enjoy it for its flavour and the pause that comes with making a cup. Try it plain and tell us what you discover.
How should I store my tea?
Keep the dried flowers in a tightly sealed container, away from moisture, heat, sunlight and strong smells.
Is there anything to check before trying it?
Avoid chamomile if you have a known allergy to it. If you are allergic to related plants such as ragweed, daisies or chrysanthemums, ask a healthcare professional first. Also check before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medicines, particularly warfarin or sedatives.
