Highly recommend

I’ve been supporting the rare tea company for years and by far all options from herbal teas are my favourite - chamomile is one on of these that comes regular list when shopping. It is especially good when you feel a bit under the weather or feeling stressed. I usually add two spoon of Manuka honey and it is delicious. I highly recommend Rare Tea Company not only in order to support company itself but most of all the farmers who harvest those incredible teas from all over the world - Supporting sustainability is the way forward.

Lovely tea

I’m really enjoying this chamomile tea. I make it in a glass pot where I enjoy seeing the flowers swirl. Gorgeous colour and delicious taste even on the second infusion.

perfect chamomile tea

The quality of this chamomile flowers is simply stunning. You can almost taste of its freshness coming out from the meadow. Very mild and natural sweetness that you can drink it on its own without honey or other additives.

Tasting Notes

Clean and subtle, these flowers are also wonderfully calming and, of course, caffeine free.

The general rule of thumb is that all herbs should be infused at 100°C, to dissolve the essential oils. After long experimentation looking for the best flavour extraction, we found that chamomile (like tea), contains bitter compounds. The best flavours are released at lower temperatures – treat it like a green tea, 70°C. This brings out all the sweetness and leaves the bitterness behind. It is the only exception to the herbal rule.

Quantity

Use 2g of flowers per 150ml of water.

Temperature

For the optimum infusion use 70°C (158°F) water.

Time

Infuse for 1 - 2 minutes, tasting regularly.

Infusions

You can infuse these herbs at least three times. With each careful infusion, different subtleties of flavour are revealed.

Cost Per Cup

16p per cup based on 2g of tea per 150ml of water and 3 infusions.
