Chamomile has a long history as a pretty flower and also as an ancient healer. The word 'chamomile' is derived from the Greek 'chamos' (ground) and 'melos' (apple), referring to chamomile's low growth habit and apple scented blossoms.
The daisy-like flowers of the Chamomile plant reminded the ancient Egyptians of the sun, calling it Herb of the Sun.
Our Chamomile comes from Egypt where the climate and farming expertise make this chamomile the best in the world. Egyptian Chamomile has the largest, brightest flowers with the most fragrance and flavor. A soothing herbal tea to drink anytime of the day, and especially relaxing in the evening. Caffeine free.

Herbal teas with light, delicate blossoms or leaves require somewhat shorter steeping times and lower temperatures than other more hearty herbs. We recommend using 1 teaspoon of leaf per 8oz of near boiling water (180 to 200 F) and steeping 3 to 5 minutes. This provides a sweeter, better tasting brew.

Herbal teas can be brewed in porcelain, ceramic, glass, or stainless steel but never in aluminum or other harmful materials. Be sure to cover the cup or teapot while steeping to prevent the loss of fragrant essential oils and other therapeutic and nutritional elements.
