Camomile Loose Leaf Tea

• Premium loose leaf camomile tea
• Available in 250g

Camomile (matricaria chamomilla) is the common name for several daisy-like plants of the family Asteraceae, and has been dried and consumed as tea as a natural remedy for many health conditions for centuries. Many people enjoy chamomile tea as a caffeine-free alternative to black or green tea and for its earthy, sweet taste.

It is also full of antioxidants that may play a role in lowering your risk of diseases, as well as aiding of sleep and digestion. The plant itself has a branched, erect and smooth stem, which grows to a height of 15–60 cm (6–23.5 in), forming the yellow flower heads that we may recognise in our cup. The white ray florets are furnished with a ligule, while the disc florets are yellow. Current standard uses camomile harvested from the plains of Eastern Croatia.

How to brew: 10g of loose leaf tea, steeped in 400ml of 70 degree Celsius water, brewed for 3 minutes. 

By choosing loose leaf tea over tea bags, we are reducing the use of plastics, and avoiding any sneaky chemicals or glues finding their way into your cup. Less waste, more depth of flavour, and keeping centuries of ceremony alive.
