Of course, the best way to understand what Chamomile tea tastes like is to try it. If you can't do that, then it's worth going back to the beginning…
Chamomile flowers are a mellow, floral and soothing herbal infusion.
Our Chamomile comprises the very freshest and highest quality flowers.
The chamomile plant is a herb that resembles a small daisy. There are many different types of Chamomile – the Roman, German and Egyptian varieties can all be infused for drinking. You can buy Chamomile tea online here. Because 'tea' strictly refers only to an infusion of leaves from the Camellia sinensis plant, it is better to call Chamomile a 'herbal infusion' than a 'herbal tea'. If you don't believe us, perhaps Benedict Cumberbatch can persuade you.

How to make Chamomile tea
Chamomile is simple to infuse. For each 250ml cup of JING Organic Chamomile, we suggest infusing 4g of tea in boiling water for 3 minutes. We've found this is the best way to release the natural vibrancy and flavour of the whole flowers for a superbly clean taste. You can re-infuse this tea once to get two cups from your 4g.
The original Greek name for Chamomile meant 'earth apple' due to its apple-like scent.

What Are Chamomile’s Health Benefits?
Chamomile was used as a cold remedy as far back as ancient Egypt. Today, it's best known as a relaxant that might help you enjoy a good night's sleep.
Chamomile's relaxing qualities come from apigenin, a phytonutrient compound thought to have sedative effects. Other studies have shown that Chamomile can ease mild anxiety. One particular piece of research suggested it could help new mothers improve the quality of their sleep.
A small study involving adults with type 2 diabetes found that participants who drank chamomile tea after each of their three meals every day enjoyed some benefits. When you are finished enjoying your drink, there is still one more thing chamomile tea is good for. Happy planting!
