The taste of summer meadows. Soft, sweet, and lovely.

The very best blossoms carefully hand processed. Without the hurly-burly of industrial machines, the delicate flowers are kept whole, delicious, and beautiful. No flavourings, colourings, or caffeine.

Chamomile (or camomile) is believed to help calm the mind and body and is renowned as a gentle sleep aid. These wonderful flowers can be enjoyed throughout the day - whenever a moment of delicious calm is required.

Sourced from a small farm near the banks of the Drava River in Northern Croatia.

Naturally caffeine free.

Beautiful flavour

Absolutely love this chamomile tea! It's my first time trying and I can't imagine going to any other company. It's so good that my wife even starting having it with me and now we have a cup every night before bed, which we both agree helps us sleep better

Excellent

We have tried a few different sellers but have settled on these lovely flowers from Rare Tea Co. They have a subtle taste with a hint of lemon. We typically have three infusions - the first at 70C for 1 min, then 75C for 90s and finally 80C for around 2 mins. This provides 3 nice cups before bed! I would thoroughly recommend the leaves and our recipe!

Just lovely

This camomile tea tastes fresh and delightfully fragrant, even the colour whilst brewing is lovely!

Tasting Notes

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

How to make chamomile tea

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 and infuse at 70°C. This brings out the sweetness and leaves all the bitterness behind.

Chamomile 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.

Does chamomile tea contain caffeine?

Chamomile flowers are naturally caffeine free.

Matricaria recutita

What is chamomile tea?

Matricaria recutita or German chamomile is a beautiful flower and makes a delicious herbal infusion. Our famous, celebrated and beloved whole chamomile flowers are sourced from small Croatian farms.

We source the very best flowers that a carefully hand processed. Without the hurly-burly of industrial machines the delicate flowers are kept whole.

What are the health benefits of chamomile teas?

Chamomile tea is a popular choice of hot drink in the evening or as a bedtime tea. Although there is some research about the effects of its properties - including the antioxidant apigenin - that have the potential to improve sleep quality, we are not scientists and don't wish to make any snake oil claims.

What we do know is that a loose leaf, caffeine-free herbal tea is a good choice of bedtime beverage if you want to avoid the stimulating effects of caffeine. And most importantly, these honey-sweet chamomile flowers are utterly delicious.
